my dad, however, stocked up on edibles
My obsessive nature already had me spending hours on the computer, daily, reading anything and everything - from the World Health Organization's daily situation reports to what 100 items disappear first during a national crisis to how to make an immune boosting garlic sauce that pairs well with anything...at least a week before Italy went on lockdown. Needless to say the pantry was stocked and I wasn't worried about the stores being out of TP when the first case was confirmed in our area. My dad, however, stocked up on edibles. I guess when SHTF we all have our priorities. Fast forward a couple days, and at least one edible into the afternoon for Pops...and, my announcement to the family that our best chance is to "self-isolate" gets interpreted as: to avoid the virus, we all need the new anti-viral called "sufisolat" (suh-figh-so-luht). I'm just glad we cleared that up before he went to the pharmacy to ask for some… or started tweeting about it…
