"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work."

I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

Really, though, give it up for these grocery store workers. I'm not exaggerating when I say that history will look back on them like the soldiers on D-Day, or at least it should. They deserve the world. This young guy in the aisle we checked out at was probably no older than twenty. He had on rubber gloves, and disinfected the conveyor belt after every customer. There are lines of blue masking tape on the floor to make sure people stand six feet apart, but these workers have to face people and touch their dirty money all day long. Applaud the low-wage workers.

"So, that's the problem. The problem is, we do have people who are buying a month's worth of groceries, as opposed to a week's
worth of groceries.

And we ask people just to remain calm. Buy what you need for this week for a week-and-a-half. Take care of yourself. And that will allow us to catch up, allow us to get the supply chain restocked, get product back on stores." © Greg Ferrara, President, National Grocers Association.
