Stores have to start carrying hand sanitizer again. And keep it away from hoarders. Yes this is a serious situation, but there’s no need to panic if people physically stay distant from one another. Other states are extending bill payments and not shutting off utilities as well. Which is a decent idea. Article also doesn’t fully pull up unless people open it in browser access

Co and Vi come from coronavirus with D meaning disease and 19 standing for 2019. COVID-19 is the name it was given by the World Health Organization.
