I haven't been outside for a couple weeks and have been out of milk for a few days so I made a grocery run early in the afternoon. Grocery store was almost out of flour and still completely out of yeast, but otherwise better than when I was last in there. Still it was a very stressful experience, even with a store that wasn't super packed. I worked as a cook so I'm good at not touching my face, and I have a reasonable supply of sanitizing wipes from The Before Times but I still half convinced myself I was already dead just walking into the store. I live a block or two from Costco and driving by on the way home I noticed the parking lot was almost empty so I made an unplanned stop to see if I could get a pack of kleenex and refresh my reserve of chicken tendies. The place was shopping heaven. The store is of course huge and was almost completely empty, maybe more employees than shoppers. They had 2 workers out front sanitizing carts for people. Every aisle in grocery had an end cap each with multiple pallets of Kirkland signature paper towels, I didn't look for TP since I got plenty. I couldn't find the Purdue Chicken Chunks I wanted so I got some Trident Ultimate Fish Sticks instead so I can keep my goon going on. I also got a box of those madras lentils some one mentioned a few days ago, I love the similar looking ones from Trader Joes but can never get them since I don't live anywhere near by one. I didn't scope out the meat department but a quick peek in the walk-in showed pallets of eggs and milk, and the bread aisle was full. They had flour, rice, ect, but I forgot to look for yeast. I got my giant pack of Kleenex for allergy season and some goldfish crackers and popcorn too. Oh, a variety pack of kirkland flavored seltzer too. Made me feel so much better about having to shop for food, I'm going to do all my infrequent shopping in Costco in the seemingly dead hours of the weekday afternoon. Praise be unto Costco.

Grand Fromage posted:Yeah I still have my pollution respirator from China with fresh cartridges in it. I'm using disposables for the moment and keeping it in reserve. I'm going to try it the other way around. When I tried to look up the manufacturer's stated lifespan of the p95 prefilters on the cartridges for my half mask respirator, 3M's site said something to the effect of "until they get visibly dirty or clogged to the point where you can't breathe through them easily". I take that to mean for pandemic use they're going to effectively last forever. That way I keep my "disposable" n95 respirators in good condition for an emergency/donating to the local hospital. One of my concerns with the half mask is that its effectively all rubber/plastic, which seem like good surface for viruses to live on for a few days.
