Supply chain experts say brands, such as Lysol, Clorox and Purell, have not been able to keep up with the demand of panic buyers, and that the raw materials needed to make the products come from China. Those materials usually take about four weeks to ship and getting the materials from China has been more difficult due to the country coping with its own outbreak earlier this year. A supply-chain-management professor says, \u201cEven if they were able to get the ingredients, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they have the capacity to produce more products.\u201d He says these items likely won\u2019t return to pre-pandemic levels until July or August.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u27a2 It\u2019s amazing what a one-digit mistake can cause. Doriana Fontanella of Denver, Colorado, says her cellphone has recently been bombarded with calls, and it\u2019s just one digit off from the state\u2019s fax number for the Department of Labor and Employment. She says she\u2019s been inundated with calls over the past several weeks as people are accidentally dialing her number instead. She says the issue really began back in 2008, and grew worse in 2013. She would pick up her phone only to hear the tone of a fax machine as people tried to presumably fax materials to the Department of Labor for unemployment claims. She says people should triple check to make sure they\u2019re faxing the right number.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u27a2 Chris Hemsworth, said on\u00a0<em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>\u00a0he was cleaning out the garage at his home in Australia the other day where his family has hunkered down when he saw a flash of color in his riding gear. He thought, oh, that\u2019s a nice green scarf that\u2019s been shoved into my motorbike helmet, And this is all within a second or two as I\u2019m reaching for it. And as I put my hand on it, it\u2019s not a scarf. It\u2019s a python, he said. Hemsworth reacted by pulling his hand back quickly.
