I've always thought of liquid soap as another source of plastic going to the landfill, unless there's some small chance of it being recycled.

In case you're interested in making your own mask, here's an overview of potential mask materials.

We use only liquid soap but refill our containers. Instacart delivers groceries to your home from a variety of stores. You choose the store you want. You can shop at Costco without belonging because they do. The least of my worries is a TP shortage.
My concern is not toilet paper but fresh produce. Being in the above 60 crowd, I am beginning to fear going out at all except for walks so need to try delivery I guess.
I'm seeing reports in on-line forums (locally and not; friends and fellow site-members) that delivery is popular enough that it could be up to a week before you find an open delivery time. Anyone considering this option might want to check their preferred service and perhaps plan ahead.

I ordered dog food online last night. Estimated time to delivery, 7-10 days. My neighbor tell me she has been getting hers overnight, same vendor, for years.
On another hand, I just ordered my annual MacBook power adapterbefore noon today and it will be here in two days (then add a day for the cardboard shipping box to sit outside somewhere, protected, before I bring it into the house).

I don't need groceries, but I've been adding to a list for pickup. I hope to be able to pick it up by midweek next week. We'll see.
I visited my primary care physician today for something that needed attention, but not especially critical. There was a sign at the entrance, if you have a fever, cold symptoms, or recent travel, call from your car for an escort inside. The doc explained that these people are brought in through separate entrance and the staff wore N95 masks and maybe other PPE and were treated in a separate area. He went on to describe the disinfection of the regular exam rooms, a wipe down of chair arms, door levers, and other surfaces after each patient. His said the number of patient visits was down to half of normal and had concerns about maintaining a fully staffed office and may have to reduce office hours and that some of this was because of undue contagion fears. Although I'd just as soon have stayed away, I felt fairly comfortable with their efforts to minimize risk.
It's the first time I'd been out and about for a few days and it all had sort of a eerie ghost town feeling along the shopping areas. Less traffic than normal, but some. One gas station posted a 1.78/gal gas price. Monday I plan to go to WF to restock groceries. They are opening an hour early each day for over 60 people only. WF might not be at the top of my grocery shopping preference, but I like the senior hour shopping and they keep a very clean store. Plus they are probably freshly stocked in the early morning.
I'm thinking unless things change, I'll be on a restock schedule of every couple of weeks to maintain supplies at around a month. The local recycling center has closed indefinitely so for the time being I'm sending everything to the landfill except aluminum.
