Nov 2020

both the aftermath of the late October ice storm (power loss wiped out refrigerated products in the grocery stores) and now wave 3 of COVID. It took some stores a while to restock so the stores are now looking better. I have noticed that there appears to be more people starting to stock up again. COVID has gotten so bad that more people are trying to hunker down again. Our idiotic Governor is having a big family Thanksgiving but most people I know aren’t.

It doesn’t look like people are not going overboard but staying stocked up.
