4 - COVID19 What's really "essential?"

My brother and co-workers have told me Home Depot's been packed with people stocking up on DIY project stuff to do around the house while they're Stay At Home.

Based on some guidelines I read, and my own thoughts, here's what I need to feel comfortable not leaving the house:

1. Bible
2. iPhone and its chargers for home and car, so I can talk to the people I love and care about
3. Gasoline in the car
4. Bottled water and enough food to last several weeks
5. Flashlight and candles in case power goes out
6. PC to WFH (and the afore-mentioned phone to MFA to the network)

Today a lady on NextDoor appealed to the community on behalf of her children who are working in stores and waiting on people who are buying wine racks and things she doesn't think are "essential" and therefore putting her kids at risk of community spread of COVID19. When I read what she wrote, I decided I'd be more thoughtful about what I go out to a store to buy, at least for the next few weeks.
