Hallo Christian!

 CJ> Wearing a mask for protection against viruses is like throwing a
 CJ> golf ball against a soccer goals' net.

Especially the homemade ones which are showing up around town.  I can see them 
being somewhat more useful in some of the major cities where air quality is low 
but even then the fine particles are getting through, so I am guessing that it 
is more of a placebo than anything effective as far as protecting ones lungs.

 CJ> I myself am shopping on two days a week:

That is more of less my regular habit and the virus hasn't changed anything 
there.  However I just have myself to look out for so it simplifies shopping 
trips greatly.

 CJ> what I COULD get is chestnut flour

Interesting.  What are your plans for this?  Wild hazlenuts would be more 
doable in most parts of Canada and probably would make a good flour.  Also I 
seem to recall seeing a British documentary about stone age peoples using 
hazlenuts for cooking so there might be something to it.  You've piqued my 
curiousity.

 CJ> nor fresh yeast.

I stumbled across an article online about 'growing' your own.  I should have 
paid it more attention so I could pass on the link to it.  I am sure a search 
of this topic would produce a hopefully credible link.

 CJ> Yesterday I visited our drugstore accidently at the right time
 CJ> to get a oackage of toilet paper. First time in three weeks...

Me too except it has been more than three weeks since my previous purchase.  I 
decided I had better grab a package while I was at the store as I had to help 
out a neighbour when she ran out when this whole thing started and toilet paper 
was suddenly hard to find.  I now should be good for quite some time barring 
any additional neighbourhood emergencies.  So far so good.  :::knock on wood:::

Stay well.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
