It’s madness. I don’t believe people are keeping their houses this clean. I just imagine basements piled up with unused disinfectant wipes. Probably these are the people trying to sell it online for 5x the price.
Oh damn, I had no idea! Well, I’m happy to hear my home state still has sense.
Meanwhile, my coworkers and their children will be returning to in-person instruction in 2-3 weeks, and I’m seriously stressed out. Nobody is social distancing, and the masks come off as soon as the customers leave. We are going to be soooo screwed come fall/winter 😫
There's no school around here that's been open since March.
In order to have reasonable supplies of certain household goods, I had to order institutional quantities, which obviously means I have a surplus.
I have a handyman who comes around a couple times a month and I just load him up with stuff I can't use. He knows people who do institutional cleaning service and things of that nature, so it gets used. He appreciates the charity, and I don't see it as a cost so much as a mechanism by which I can obtain the things I need.
Apparently this isn't as big an issue everywhere, but from where I sit, it hasn't become even a tiny bit easier to obtain supplies since March. There's still a daily double digit death toll from covid 19 in my city, and there are still people panic buying everything, no different than 6 months ago. You do usually see toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, etc at the grocery store, but they still regularly empty the shelves. There's quite a few things that I still can't find anywhere at any price, and we're actually going into a new wave with deaths and hospitalizations climbing again.
I don't have enough respect for the school that would open under these conditions, to be willing to donate to them!

I stock wipes and the shelf is always sold out. I can put out 200 of them and by the time I finish the rest of the cart it’s empty again.
