I seem to have, against all odds, actually come close to pulling off that "supplies for two months" thing siderea was saying back during the initial "how to prep" posts. I haven't left the house or added supplies in almost a month now, but I've still got a decent amount left, and I can stretch my ground beef by making it into meatballs with breadcrumbs and cheese. (I may need to put less Worcestershire sauce into the next batch to conserve, though.) I figure that when we get close to the end of the larger of my two big things of toilet paper it'll be time to look into acquiring more, given how long actually succeeding at finding it might take. Also probably should order some more snack foods, of the "doesn't require refrigeration so you can just order them in the regular mail" variety.
The majority of my *anxieties* are around being unable to go out without endangering others-- "I am trapped here in my house unable to run if the zombies attack and unable to go hunt more supplies for myself rather than ask my friends to endanger themselves if I run out." I'm more afraid of being a vector or cause of harm to other people than of it harming me.
I also found the most amusing line on Twitter: "The hardest part about social distancing, for Gatsby, was the dearth of opportunities to call people 'old sport'."
