Wandering Westwood - the Continuum

Westwood

LA County Safer At Home: Day 63

Bananas!

Produce is well-stocked.

Pork is somehat depleted.

Not a pork chop in sight.

Enough chicken to go around, tho.

And it's not priced too far out of normal.

The one thing that's abnormally pricey is ground beef.

Even steak is seems normally priced.

Lots of chicken breasts.

USDA prime New York strips looked good.

Shellfish. Plenty!

Fish, also plenty!

Sour cream and cottage cheese.

Lots of eggs.

Woah, hand sanitizer!

Toilet paper and Kleenex stocks still decimated.

The sushi bar is now working again.

Do you get a free Bentley if you give blood?

This business keeps changing names. Still selling matcha tho.

Social distancing outside Starbucks.

Diddy Riese has reopened!

Gushi is still open, too.

Kimchi fried rice nom!

The spread of COVID-19 in critical meat processing plants hasn't caused quite the amount of disruption that's been feared, although it's still extremely concerning. Ground beef in particular is pricey, although the rest seems to be okay. And most other items are in stock, aside from paper products and cleaning products. Even hand sanitizer is now available.

Wandering outside of Ralphs' grocery store shows some other businesses returning to life-- Diddy Riese closed six weeks ago and is now reopened, Gushi never closed, and the UCLA blood donation center is doing their best to get donors to come in and help with the critical blood shortage.
