Yes, but don't "stock up" either before or after. Do without ANYTHING you can. Make family time, read a book, meet your neighbors, just don't patronize any corporations if you can avoid it. Buy from local merchants if possible.

We must have air, water and a little food, but we CAN do without the things that make corporations rich. France does this when the people get pissed. Remember "gilets jaunes?" The "yellow vests" movement. They fought for economic justice as we should too.

My only problem with cities is that some are difficult to get around in. This country needs a different traffic system so people can get somewhere and not spend all day doing it. Example: roundabouts instead of traffic lights. Or, mandated convoys like train cars. Everyone on the road, same speed.
