Coronavirus self-quarantine NECESSITIES

What must I absolutely stock up on, during this crisis? The short list.

I'm imagining that should the number of infected explode, we are all going to be quarantined. And I should be prepared.

Since this is the weekend, I might as well do some shopping.... just in case.

Last weekend I was traveling, and little did I know that cities would be shutting down this week.

Who knows what will happen next week.

Toilet paper you asshole.

I forgot contact lens solution, Systane eyedrops and rolaids. I'll have to go back out for those.

Toilet paper hoarding is for assholes. Very big ones, I might add.

I don’t want to hoard toilet paper. I just want one 4 pack to get throw the next week. It’s an issue. Also hand sanitizer, Clorox - any type of cleanser.

There is no hand sanitizer ANYWHERE in my city, R6.

Anywhere.

And I've looked.

Has Gov Cuomo shared his recipe for DIY Hand Sanitizer he is having the inmates whip up for NY? I think it's only fair that he shares.

Prisoners and ethanol. Should be fun times.

Vancouver here- a few weeks ahead of you:

Peroxide 3%

I bought peanut butter for the first time in 20 years.

Lysol wipes or spray... forget Purell not that great with viruses unless its all you can find.

The wipes should say bacteria AND viruses not just bacteria.

The generic tubes of disinfecting wipes are just as good as lysol. Use the spray if you have communal apartment washing machines and dryers...use on any control you touch just like the elevator buttons, doorknobs.

Paper towels.

Listerine- a couple big bottles -some of us are gargling non stop

Buy a digital thermometer before they're all gone like the hand sanitizers. Its easy to imagine you've got a temperature but the thermometer will tell you differently...usually.

Don't flush kleenex or disinfecting wipes...the sewers can't handle it on a massive scale.

all for now...

ironically, you get more chances to catch it than you would probably need the hand sanitizer.

Do they make “F#ck It All” pills in case things get so bad you want to end at all?

[quote] Buy a digital thermometer before they're all gone like the hand sanitizers.

Does anyone have any tips on where to find a digital thermometer? I don't have one, and I forgot to buy one last weekend when I was shopping and stockpiling. A big mistake, I know. When I search online, it seems that they're out of stock at all the local stores, and the only ones I see on sites like Amazon are off brands made in China sold by shady-looking third-party sellers that say they won't arrive until late next month or sometime in May.

small local pharmacies or drug stores - don't even go near the big box stores if you can avoid it.

by Anonymousreply 14March 21, 2020 1:18 AM

R13 I missed the fact you already checked the local shops. I'd go in person if you have the time.

by Anonymousreply 15March 21, 2020 1:21 AM

r13, ebay. just limit it to USA only and sort by distance. just a few days to get to you.

Is there a way to check thermometer accuracy? My new, digital one seems off.

Don't forget your pets. They can't eat cans of green beans.

Alcohol. The only way to make being trapped at home palatable is plenty of booze.

Dumb but not that dumb, R18.
