Thanks to all.

Will do. I will have a lot of time on my hands at home.
Just to pass on some stats, I'm just shy of 60, overweight (but am trying to diet/exercise more and have lost ~10 lbs since Thanksgiving), high BP, borderline diabetic (A1C levels dropped quite a bit on last test thanks to the weight loss; almost out of danger zone), high cholesterol. So yes, I check a lot of the 'no bueno' boxes for coronavirus.
Frankly, if I do contract coronavirus, I want to be able to seek medical attention fairly quickly so staying at home was a no-brainer when my wife told me she's been exposed.. And fortunately, Las Vegas hasn't had too many cases yet. We have Tricare Prime so we'll see how responsive they are should one of us have a temperature spike.
I was busy doing an inventory around the house to make sure we're not short on anything.
We built this house 2 yrs ago and I had GFI electrical outlets installed next to our toilets and installed 2 bidets so we won't have a TP shortage in the house.
As far as food, we didn't stockpile anything there either but our pantry's fine for now. Worst case, Uber eats will be dropping a lot of stuff of at the front door.
I did put up a sign on the front door stating: 'Coronavirus quarantine' for anyone who comes to the door.
Took a while to find a working thermometer. Also forget about trying to buy one online for a reasonable price right now. We had one with a dead battery; I've ordered another LR41 battery for it.
Our temperatures are fine for now so I'm not running out to get a coronavirus test. I don't know if my wife's employer is going to want her tested without symptoms.
You guys might want to do an inventory of what you've got in the house as far as medical supplies. That's probably going to be the most important thing to have in the house. Everything else can be delivered.
… not worried about my sick bank for now; this is what it's there for.
Good luck to all and be safe out there.
