CQ: 4 Days Before: Mask Hysteria

MARCH 8, 2020 NEWSPAPER HEADLINES & GRAPH: There are 450 cases of Coronavirus in the U.S.

Blog: I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home. Confirmed that, as the media has been saying, you can't buy dust masks anymore. They put signs out to remind people they don't protect against Coronavirus, but obviously people didn't listen.

*NOTE: This is part of my series "Coronavirus Quarantine" about my family's (and the world's) experience with COVID-19 during the stay-at-home orders and self isolation of Spring 2020. You can read all the blogs in reverse sequence by clicking here. Blogs before April 2020 were written after the fact, but the thoughts and photos are from the publish date indicated. For reference, a graph of cases and news interest in the U.S., and newspaper headlines from each blog publish date are included in each entry.
