Panic buying. Toilet paper hoarding. Convenience stores no longer open 24/7. People ordering hair clippers online to cut their own hair. Face masks becoming a necessary entry pass for most public venues. They're now normal. A new normal, so to speak. Life has surely changed a lot.

» Even when Covid-19 leaves us stranded within our own home, one thing we still don't have to worry about much is food shortage. An abundance of food is still being offered by many restaurants, eateries and hotels as they have progressed online and into the delivery scene to make sure we have something scrumptious to dine on during our isolation.
