Things at the supermarket are normal, aside from the fact that there weren't many people.
The system in place:
You are forced to take a shopping cart (this is to keep people distant from each other). Also, the gloves you usually use only to purchase fruits are now available right when you enter and you have to wear one to take stuff off the shelves.
At checkout, instead of the typical queue of people, you can't put your purchases on the tape until the person currently being served is done with theirs and has left the checkout area.
All of the staff people wear masks and gloves,
Some shelves were half empty, but overall the supermarket looked like any other typical evening, except there were less people I suppose. But it's a Thursday evening, so it wouldn't be that different under normal circumstances.
As far as advice goes, there's not much more to say that hasn't already been said. Stay at least 1 meter away from other people and don't touch them. Don't leave your house unless it's absolutely necessary, and do NOT visit your relatives, no matter how healthy you feel.
Every time you go out, wash your hands immediately after coming back home. There are videos on how it's best to wash your hands on YouTube, check these out (relevant keywords: Coronavirus washing hands). No lazy hand-washing, please.
Masks are a fine purchase but don't buy too many of them if you are healthy, because there are people out there who really need them, and there aren't enough for everyone if people hoard them. China is sending us some (and some doctors), that's great. Still, don't buy hundreds of masks just because you might need them at some point in the future.
Public transport is still operating. Pharmacies and hospitals are as well, but for the love of God, do NOT go to the hospital unless you absolutely need to, and even more so if you suspect you caught the COVID. Call your doctor or whatever and tell them you might be infected, but don't just show up in the hospital, or you risk turning into a biological weapon for the sick people and the staff there.
The best tactic is isolating yourself from the outside world, so stock up for 3-4 weeks, don't go out (honestly, even if your job requires you to still be present there, consider if it's a risk worth taking...I wouldn't, but I get that the bills aren't going to pay for themselves), and stay strong.
Also, do not show fear...I'm glad people around here are acting normally, and are accepting the situation as what it is. Just accept the fact that it's going to be like this for a while, and get used to it.
That's all I believe. If you have any other question feel free to ask, I'm stuck at my pc 24/7 anyway (not that I wasn't spending most of my time on it already lmao, but you get what I mean).
