It sounds right to me, too from what I've read. I just wanted to caution people about believing stuff floating around the internet without solid attribution.
I saw my GI doctor Wednesday and he said the same thing - they're expecting 50 percent of us to get it. He also warned me not to go anywhere, since I'm immunocompromised. That was the first and only time I've been away from the house since March 3.
...but I am having a very hard time finding baking supplies...Anyone else having this problem?
Last week, DH couldn't find flour; Sunday, he said the shelves were full in most areas of Kroger and brought home a few bags. So check again. I've read there are no production problems, so it's a problem of distribution and over-buying in the beginning.My doctor told me twice when I was there a couple days ago to stay home as well.
But I did need some supplies.
I have been a bit fortunate not to have needed any of the hoarded stuff like TP, but I am having a very hard time finding baking supplies.
Especially yeast. Its not even available online. I almost bough a small jar awhile back. I wish I had picked it up then.
I did see some from foreign countries but afraid to give them my credit card info. If they took PayPal I would.
Anyone else having this problem?
Last time I looked, not a single carton of whipping cream for my coffee. I made do with the Natural Bliss, Sweet Cream but it was too sweet. Went back in today and they are fully stocked, except for toilet paper.
I dread my Walmart trip tomorrow...
Made a 6am senior shopping time @ Walmart this morning..
Found most everything we wanted.. No paper products but, we are fine on those..
I did hope to find disposable gloves but, none available.. Did pick up some household gloves in a neutral color.. I want to wear gloves when we leave the apartment.. If household gloves look silly, so be it.. Not the first time I've looked silly in my lifetime..
We should be set for another two weeks now..

Not having any whipping cream for my morning coffee(s) is one of the most disappointing starts to my day !
e.The medical exam gloves are being reserved for medical facilities at this time. You won't be finding them in the stores soon. We (the facility) order double what we need and only receive 25% of our order. Same with goggles, gowns, etc. we are not getting our full orders. Makes it hard to be safe and use precautions when we don't have the equipment needed.
I understand the need to save for those who serve the ill..
When we stopped @ CVS for meds, a clerk was putting a case of exam gloves on a shelf.. I was able to purchase 1 box..
She said that they, possible, would not be having any more until things changed..

I use this no-knead bread recipe: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013...tes-a-day-is-launched-back-to-basics-updated/Oh....GG. Tell me about that bucket of dough you have in the fridge. Sounds like a great idea for these times. I have a few of those square restaurant pails with lids. 4 qt. 6 qt. 8 qt.
Thanks for this. Do you put yeast in your recipe? I’ve been sticking with sour dough starter for my breads but apparently it does not store well for this recipe.I use this no-knead bread recipe: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013...tes-a-day-is-launched-back-to-basics-updated/
