We had none on the shelves here my town (in New Zealand) yet we have a factory less than 50 miles away, FFS. We produce enough food to feed 40 million people, and only have a population of around 5 million. Yet there's still been a run on the supermarkets for items like milk and flour.

I just returned to NZ having operated a freight flight to Shanghai (food exports, medical equipment imports), aside from them treating US like we had Ebola, things seem nearly back to normal. So there's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel that hopefully won't be too far away.

The sun will come up and go down again tomorrow so there's a lot to be grateful for in just that. I'd echo Vegas's comments regarding the abundance of opportunities that will emerge on the other side of this - keep your eyes and ears open.
