i remember being at the grocery store checkout holding two apples while everyone else in line was stocking up with full carts. That was the moment i was like "huh. maybe they actually will do the lockdowns"

I remember asking the head nurse at my cardiac rehab clinic in late Feb when they'd be shutting down. She told me they wouldn't. The early March day I decided it was no longer safe & was going to call to tell them, they called me first.

I started stocking up in early February, buying 2 pkgs of tp, boxes of Kleenex, dried legumes, etc with every trip to the supermarket. I'd been reading reports from China & figured there was a really good chance it would come & hit us hard.
