Things are winding down around my state as our governor announced we are closing k-12 schools . He encouraged business to allow people to work remotely given the circumstances. A few teams are meeting to finalize things at work on Monday then we will be going remote. New for us. We have not heard about my husband's business' decision yet.

Shelves looking pretty sparse in stores locally. Surprisingly toilet paper, paper products, and bananas not to be found. 

Glad I recently ordered gluten-free flours before this announcement. Grateful.

I downloaded some audio and e reader books too. I will need to watch list some movies as well.

May you all be well during these unprecedented times.....

I couldn’t get bananas or carrots.

My kids are off for 2 weeks, although I suspect that will be extended. 

We have a decent amount of food at our house regularly, because with 3 kids including 2 teenagers we go through a lot.  I went to Costco 2 days ago to get a few things and they were completely out of chicken and beef of any kind.  Shelves were fairly empty...it was a bit spooky.  I called yesterday to see if they had any chicken yet or if they knew when they would get some and they said maybe tomorrow.  Not super reassuring. 

I think the issue is with hoarding.  I just wanted 1 package of chicken, but I think some people are loading up on everything. 

So, I decided to place a pick up order with my grocery store.  I put in the order Saturday at noon and the earliest it could be ready is Monday at noon.  Crazy.  I'm interested to see what they have available...I did have chicken , bananas and carrots in the order.

In the meantime we're planning to just stay around here, hoping to keep everyone from getting too bored ,and trying to keep everyone healthy!

Hoping everyone on the board stays healthy too!

Here in the UK there was a huge amount of panic buying at first but at least in some parts of the country now the toilet rolls and bananas and baked beans are back in the shops and aren't disappearing quite so quickly.  So hopefully this will happen where you are.

Over here we are being asked to stay indoors, and to only go out if we need to walk the dog, or go for a walk or run, or to buy essential items.  We can also go to the doctors, pharmacists and dentists.

We managed to get toilet paper yesterday!  I also put in a pick up order at the store and got about 90% of my items which I was excited about.  I have not been able.to find any Clorox wipes yet, which I would really like to find.

Our governor locked down the state as of this morning which feels absolutely surreal.  We also had to go to my daughter's school to pick up all of her things as they don't anticipate being back this school year.?

Well done, glad you got your toilet roll!  I managed to pick up four myself!

Just one query - is everyone wiping down their groceries when they get home?  Because I'm not the only shopper in the house this isn't being done by everyone.  I'm wondering how long this virus can stay on bananas, or anything else for that matter.  My fear is trying to wipe things down might just spread the virus around a bit more and make things worse.  I keep seeing mixed data on how long it stays alive on surfaces.

I also keep seeing mixed references to how long it can live on surfaces -_- some say a few hours, some say days.

But I managed to get 1 carton of egg beaters and one of egg whites at walmart today...last 2. Also got some Bakers, Unsweetened pure chocolate bars, and canned coconut milk to keep my fat intake high for my ketogenic diet, not to mention they have years in shelf life and no one else takes them. >.> I have been just stress baking daily and offering stuff at discounts, and even giving stuff away.

I ordered some Julian Bakery Bars, and am looking at getting some Stoka bars next month. Stoka sent me a code for 50% off their cherry almond bars. "CHERRYLOVE" and 25% off their entire store with "STAY@HOME" Figured others might want in some some sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, bars.

Off topic, but I saw something that made me laugh today that I thought I'd share.  Well, I suppose it is has a tenuous link as not only have bananas and toilet rolls disappeared.  So have summer holidays.  It was published in The Times online and someone was posting about post-corovavirus travel.  

The poster said that he had given his wife a dart, and a map of the world, and told her that when this is all over they would go on holiday to wherever the dart landed.  It turns out they will be spending 2 weeks behind the refrigerator.

Nothing to do with bananas or toilet rolls I'm afraid, but I hope it might make someone else laugh too.

My place too are running out of toilet papers. Toilets and bananas doesn't protect you from the virus, this people really. Just following the CDC and WHO guidelines and you should be safe.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that...

      I meant to specify it was an Orgain product. They have several options to choose from.

      Orgain Protein Powder

      Thank you Scott. I bought a product that has 50 superfoods from Costco online and I saw that it said gluten free but I did not see the ingredients list of this particular powder. It has wheat and barley grass. I realize the grass is not the portion that contains gluten. However, I wonder about cross contact. Since they are not certified, I might not choose...

      Interpreting results.

      Based on the available test information, it does not appear you have celiac disease. This is a assuming you are not IGA deficient and also assuming your gluten consumption was adequate both in amount and duration in order to ensure valid antibody testing. Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" have recently been revised. It is now recommended that those seeking...

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that had been pushed up by the growth of the grass. In general, to be on the safe side, I think it's best to avoid wheat and barley grasses.

      Thank you Scott. I bought a product that has 50 superfoods from Costco online and I saw that it said gluten free but I did not see the ingredients list of this particular powder. It has wheat and barley grass. I realize the grass is not the portion that contains gluten. However, I wonder about cross contact. Since they are not certified, I might not choose this product but rather choose another of their powders that forgo the grasses. But, since I bought a huge tub of it, I am tempted to try it if they respond with reassurance that when they state gluten free, they mean celiac safe gluten free. Some products will make that claim but walk it back if they know you are celiac. Plus I have not had any wheat or barley products since for many years and frankly am a little intimidated to try it. Have you tried the product?

It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
