Down here, just south of Houston, the stores are doing pretty well. It is hard to find Lysol spray, gloves, rubbing alcohol and alcohol prep pads. Oh, and hand sanitizer. . . but plenty of meat (although the amount one can buy is limited). When it comes to paper towels, plenty of those cheap off brands, but I did see some Viva last week.
