I was still able to find hand sanitizer at the Dollar Store, of all places.
I want a few for the jiu-jitsu studio in case they get scarce.
Dollar store. Good thinking! They sell that stuff almost everywhere, so going places other than the big chains makes sense.

Not at all. You and JB are pretty well positioned to miss the whole thing. Why chance bringing home an souvenir?

A man in his 70s died at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirtland — the same hospital where the death of a man in his 50s was announced yesterday. Both men had underlying health problems. The three other new cases are two women, one in her 80s and one in her 90s, and a man in his 70s. All three have other health issues. They are in critical condition.
That’s correct.

Boy, I think the only one “losing his crap” right now is RI, no? I mean, I simply posted something kind of funny-noteworthy from 4chan, and he really loses it. What with wide-eyed images and emojis one would think a little tongue in cheek posting would be obvious, but our humorless to a fault counselor from the Pacific Northwest kind of just unloaded with both barrels a blazin’. Weird how protective he is with the CCP’s reputation.
Anyway. I certainly hope he’s feeling ok...

It'd just be me going.
Yes, but if you are exposed on the trip?

You are probably not all that likely to "croak on the beach in sunny Florida" even should you be exposed on the trip, and I think you know that. I'm sure you are more concerned about bringing it back and accidently exposing JB. That is certainly an understandable concern.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
