The New York Daily News nailed it: Self-quarantine, along with the cancellation of many Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, is tough on sobriety. After all, alcoholism has been called "The Disease of Isolation." " The long version of that is that alcoholism wants us alone and there we will die. Usually that's because we are trapped in our own thinking. And, that's analogous to hanging out in a very bad neighborhood.

Here is what I know: If a subject line says, “Your Friends at X Company,” we are not friends. Do not pretend we are. If a CEO message says, “You are our top priority,” it’s probably not true. Do not lie to me. If an email claims, “We are closely monitoring Coronavirus (COVID-19),” followed by something about following strict guidelines (even though cleanliness was always their top priority), what are they actually doing?

That was a major shift from 9:00 P.M. yesterday. Any item in demand was nowhere to be found. So, I wound up purchasing what wasn't in demand - over-priced diet soda - and figured I would try back today.
