What I did:
1. Stocked up on frozen food.
2. Stocked up on bottled water and a few other drinks.
3. Bought extra bottles of soap for hand washing.
4. Organized all my cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, hand sanitizer bottles, and shampoos/soaps, , so they are all easy to access.
5. Organized my office space for online classes and purchased an under desk bike peddler to replace walking to class.
6. Washed sheets and towels, and changed the ones on the bed.
7. Called my family and contacted on Facebook to make sure they are okay where they are, since I live with roommates right now.

Oooo, I like the under desk bike peddler idea!!

Question: why the bottled water? Just in case? Or is your tap water not safe to drink? (I just have a Brita pitcher and drink filtered tap water.)

Thanks!

I don’t have a filter at my place where I’m at for school, but part of the reason is I don’t have water from my fridge or an ice maker and my roommates don’t leave any space for trays, so if I wanted any really cold water, I’d need bottles.

Ah, okay. I do keep old water bottles that we've bought in the past and refill them with fresh water and put them back in the fridge, but after a while, they get kinda skuzzy and I have to either wash them or recycle them if they're hopeless.

Oh, the bike peddler is a great idea, especially for anyone living in a city!

[mravenwood]

I’m glad I got it, because I went on a walk for a few minutes and had to cross the street multiple times to not be walking by people.

I bought some extra water too and started filling some bottles. For me its more about if something goes wrong with the plumbing and we can't get a plumber out right away like we normally would, at least we'll have drinking water for a few days.
