in addition to chicken, pork & beef getting scarce - it now seems to be hitting eggs & bread as well......

I’m in medical device sales. Some of which are used for elective surgeries. Been working from home since last Thursday. It’s tough with the two kids and the wife being home. Can’t get much done, not that there is much to do besides all of these conference calls that the company keeps on putting on. Time management, insides sales techniques, etc. We had a call with a honcho last week to address the virus and another call today. Man did he change his tune. Last week it was “This is just kind of like a cold” to “Stay home and weather the storm. Take care of your families”. I got a paycheck coming in so I can’t really complain. The issue is that most of my compensation comes from commissions which are declining faster and faster. Scary times for sure, but at least we’re healthy and I have some food on the side.
Feel for you Benny. Par for the course. Understand this tough: the sales managers don't know jackshot about the market or business in general. They'll tell you to SPIN or go for no or don't spills your beans or any of handful of sales techniques that dont work and everyone knows.
The reality is that the Buyers are shut down, mostly by budget and consequence. Their focus is essential devices and supplies to combat the virus and maintain continuity in the system. And they are all human like us, with families and kids and concerns, mostly about if they will actually have a job on 2-6 weeks.
So they are not buying shit, unless your medical devices are in great demand and there is limited supply. Or if your company can pivot: take existing products into new markets or new products into new markets... FAST. etc on the 4x4 matrix and find or create demand.
Sorry to be the messenger but this is the new reality. Save your $$$ now

Costco steps up - limiting sales of toilet paper, paper towels. sanitizing wipes,etc, per membership - they will monitor using the membership card at checkout........
And................
They are not accepting returns on any of those things. Bravo!

the decision to not use plastic bags was driven by idiots. We let idiots drive our society who can not even read a map.
