Visiting audio stores?


This is probably the last concern on many people's minds, so I'm raising this just in case anyone feels like relaying their experience.

I've become pretty cautious about where I go and why. So, for me, I'm not going to any audio stores to listen to gear, out of caution about the virus. I do feel concern for these stores and how it will impact them. Are folks going? Anyone running an audio store who wants to comment? How are you coping? Are you changing any policies or running any more sales online? Changes in trial periods to help more people try out gear remotely?

Again, this is a minor concern given the larger dimensions of this virus situation, but I thought I'd reach out with a question.

asvjerry and dseltz, thank you.  I was thinking of buying toilet paper stock.....when it touches bottom.  Oh, crap, all our toilet paper comes from China.
In a pinch separate the two plies and voila! - you’ve got two rolls! Problem solved! 🤗
I have read through this entire thread and can't bring myself to add to the arguments presented because no one seems to listen to anyone who has a different outlook that they already have anyway.  i will only add one piece of information; namely that most COVAD-19 deaths are related to  pneumonia infections, so I just got an pneumonia vaccine.  They are available.
What I see amongst my neighbors is checking on each other and offering help.  Too bad our media and government don’t take the same approach of “how can we help and encourage” instead of “who is most to blame for this mess?!”    I haven’t seen anything before like what is occurring now in my 65 years of living.  I don’t blame anyone for being less than fully prepared for a one-in-a-lifetime-or-two event.  We cannot expect to have all of the supplies and medical equipment needed now, held in perpetual preparation for when this could happen.  I agree with those who say that short supplies should be conserved for those who most need them.  And I wish the 24 hour news cycles would do less blaming and catastrophizing and more helpful suggestions.
