I know what you mean! Back in early March when we were first being told of the imperative to disinfect, I was tasked with bringing in something for the room in which we have meetings. I remember standing there, looking at all the options and scents, not sure which one to choose, finally just picked one and got chuckles when I brought it in. Shortly after that, the shelves - and entire store aisles - were completely bare, and I would have been grateful to have found anything - wish I'd picked up more than just one.
