I wish I had masks. May ask my mom to make some.

Japan has had an interesting spike in cases.

Can't you get delivery?


Edit: Ah. Try signing up at midnight. That's when one of the local stores opens up deliveries.

The few I’ve tried never have slots. I will admit I haven’t tried all forms

I'm hoping our store is a bit more stocked now. Havent seen wipes, sanitizer, tp, ground beef, canned foods for a month.

Cant get delivery or pick up. Always full and only 6 days out.

If you want to know when to get hand sani I can help. Check targets website after midnight/before they open at 7. Their purell inventory is never correct, but so far we have 100% accuracy on their up and up brand. The 8oz bottle is being stocked. I check online, go to store around 7 or 730 and pick it up

We've been doing delivery for a couple of weeks now. Package arrives, we take it out, throw away the bags, and then clean up after. No direct contact with anyone.

If I had to go out, I would double up a few masks that I have, too- not anywhere near an N-95 mask, but it at least will be better than nothing.

If you're desperate, you can always try sewing together three layers of a high MPR 3M furnace filter. Sandwich them tightly between two layers of fabric and strap it tightly to your face covering your mouth and nose. Shoot for an MPR of 2200+. The 2800s are almost impossible to find right now. 2200s can be had, but they're getting scarce.

They olympics have been pushed back. They can finally release the real numbers.

I wish I had like a dozen or two extra masks. I would definitely help some people. Then again, I would probably have donated that many by now. :-/

My family that works at 3m had a bunch but donated them

On Japan- that’s an obvious idea but I’d love to dive deeper into a few things to see if that’s it. They are not China.

Trump is currently on FOX News ranting and raving; spouts off on using chloroquine for treatment.

Meanwhile, actual science being discussed on CNBC where Johnson and Johnson says they have a potential vaccine in development that they are pushing for human trials soon.



And I want to add that "Branch Covidians" used above is a goddammed brilliant nickname.

The FCC should remove Fox and OANN from the air as health hazards until this is contained.

They don't have the right to their profits when they are literally killing people.

Watched a Youtube of a guy and his family visiting Legoland in Nagoya. There were very few visitors, everyone was wearing masks, there was hand sanitizer widely available, including having rider's hands sprayed before getting on rides. I think these precautions gave people a false sense of security, as I constantly observed this man adjusting his mask and his kids' masks. Bringing hands to their faces possibly more frequently due to the masks. Then there was also a whack-a-mole type touch the light game, where everyone's hands were all over a surface that lots of people were touching and breathing on.

I kept thinking of earlier posts about "following the rules" and thinking how it reduces your risk, but it doesn't eliminate the risk.

I don’t think that way anymore. Try to limit myself to no more than two store trips a week. I was going more often to find hand sanitizer but now I’m stocked.

Douse your hands in sanitizer in your car after, wipe car down with wipes, and then wipe food packaging when you get home. Then I wipe down kitchen including fridge handles and door knobs and finally finish with a good hand wash.

Where on earth are you finding sanitizer and wipes???

Target- see my earlier post about how I’ve figured out their online inventory system. You gotta get there early.

That's bull. I've been looking online daily and cannot go any more to random stores only to find out there's nothing. At least there's nothing here in Massachusetts.

Why is there a shortage? I get that hospitals, etc. are the first place these supplies should go but what I want to know is there something that is keeping these items from easily being re-stocked? Is it a shortage of one of the items? Or something like that. I cannot find any information anywhere. I have a supply but the longer this goes, the more I'm going to stress about my supply. I don't plan to hoard but I will need to replenish soon.

So that's what people are making. Interesting.

Not something I have in hand, as we have an electrostatic filter for the house....
 
Re: Covfefe-19: We're all getting $5/hour more in hazard pay!

If you know the UPC or Target's in-house DPCI number for products, use this lookup tool:
https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/

There is also a link for Wal-Mart.
https://brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/

Tip for Walmart's SKU, if you go to Wal-Mart.com, search for an item, and visit that product page (ie: Clorox Wipes) the number after the product description is the in store SKU. For the above Clorox wipes, the SKU is 161672179.

I found the Brickseek link from a Lego Users Group years ago for looking up Lego inventory at local stores (when they go on sale), but it can be used for general items too.

Well, it’s worked here 100% of the time in twin cities so I’m sorry you find it “bull.”

Supply chain is effed. Hong Kong has way too much after being short jan and feb. it will take a while to catch up

You could be getting the virus on your hands in store then touching car handle, Etc. That’s why I wipe it down. It can be easy to forget to not touch your face while driving
