[AGL] Fwd: CDC says: Time for us old folks to stockpile food and prepare for social isolation

[Charles Loving]

Stocking up is a real treat. The shops are full of people buying toilet
paper. Costco to which I went must have had 5,000 customers all battling to
get toilet paper along with me. I was disgusted since I could not get the
Charmin with a red bear on the package, I had to opt for a blue bear. It
was a real zoo. Shopping took ten minutes, check out an hour.
