Sorry to hear of the stress and I don't know how this translates to America, I'm assuming as you said clerk, but It let up here in Ireland today, this morning being an example of stocked shelves for the most part and images of warehouses still filled with supplies and the public seems to have calmed. In Italy supply chains are still open, people can still go to the supermarkets for food and they are lovked down hard and production isn't going anywhere for the time being. In Ireland, That was maybe 48 to 72 hours depending on where you calculate the rush starting. 24 hours maybe since it peaked yesterday morning. And I don't know is this is just a ttempory thing as they announced this afternoon they are extending the school closure to 16 weeks (Up from 3 weeks). There is an end to your current siuation in sight at any rate. 

What exactly is the situation vis-a-vis the virus itself in Ireland? Did the number of additional daily transmissions start to decrease before the rush to grocery stores and supermarkets ended? Does Ireland have the transmission rate in much better control than the United States where it's just tripled in the last week?
