I don't think the COVID is particularly bad here. People like to panic and I couldn't find a lot of stuff we normlly use. (Like macaroni and bowtie pasta) so we had to make due for the past few months. Stores aren't open late anymore so I have to pick and choose when I go. Luckily they had most everything. I'm just glad we were able to restock and then add a bit. I stocked up on dried veggies this go around.
