Ask HN: Share your virus apocalypse stories

Want to share your virus apocalypse stories? If so please limit comments to factual observations. I am hoping a thread like this can provide data to help people make some well informed decisions in a period of momentary disruption.

My wife's observations:

Preface: I live in a small US county (geographically) with nearly 2 million people and all schools here were cancelled yesterday in a single uniform announcement for the next 2 weeks.

* Eggs and milk are not impossible to find, but are out of the major grocery stores so she had to look for these at small convenience stores.

* Fortunately, the produce section of each grocery store she visited remains fully stocked.

* Toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, and anything snack foods/drinks mostly containing sugar are gone.

* My home gigabit internet is normally around 890-920mbps up and down, but today its hovering at 500mbps.

* Traffic is really light on the roads.

* My wife's searches have so far been limited to larger urban grocery stories and the neighborhood gas station. We have a major grocery store here about every 3 miles.
