I'm way below the poverty line basically so I couldn't really afford to stock up on things. I have enough to barely get through each month and that's about it. So I might have to ask my sister for some help in regards to that.

However, my apartment complex had an emergency meeting today for all tenants and they said if any of us do end up sick (they gave us a number to call to report symptoms) then they can give us a bit of non perishable food items to help get us through if a 14 day self quarantine is necessary.

So I guess that's the silver lining, that there will be a bit of help if needed. Other than that I've been making myself sick with anxiety over the whole thing. I mean, staying inside is no problem, I have agoraphobic tendencies anyway and am a total introvert so none of that bothers me. It's just the whole situation is scary.
