Anything
Meh:
Bleh.
Now we've got militia coming to six states including mine. That's going to cure people for sure!
lighter:
My sister and IL canceled their trip to the island this morning after learning they'd be under a 2-week quarantine IF they cross into the US from Canada then return. BIL can't be gone that long so they canceled.
My niece freaked out at her airport boarding gate this morning and fled before her flight. She and her bf will drive to a small private airport in Miami and catch their connecting seaplane flight. They can access keys to everything, so their trip will be good if getting there goes well. Free parking at that little private airport and I still care about such things. I wonder how long that'll last.
Our blood drive moved to Tues and tripled in size, bc so many other blood drives have shut down over virus scare.
We have Cor-V cases in our State, but none identified in our County or this part of the State... yet. The courts have shut down for 30 days, both criminal and civil.
I'm not watching the news. I peek at my phone every once in a while, but that's about it.
Our school is preparing for online studies. The kids practiced yesterday and will again practice Mon and Tues, just in case.
We went into the big shiny new Publix Grocery store for sushi this morning... and just to see how well stocked it was. I saw employees packing grocery bags for pick up... maybe they deliver too. I saw fully stocked shelves... except for the TP isle with it's lone employee and his pricing gun... beep... .beep. ... It was surreal, bc everything seemed completely normal, otherwise.
Meh:
Today the White House Admin. mentioned they are discussing restrictions within US from certain states, so this means they are now discussing mass quarantine for my state.
I'm most worried by the people I see around who are not taking smart precautions.
Hopalong:
Hope you can stay home and safe, G.
It may take forced quarantines in places, but it's also possible it won't get that far.
Mostly, like you, I'm pissed at ignorance and selfish leadership. The silver lining to that could be a big change in November, lord willing and the creek don't rise....
To be honest, if I feel myself coming down with it, I'm likely to stay home and take my chances at nursing myself through it. I have read about ventilation and even though much of the panic seems to be not enough ventilators (much less beds) in hospitals...I don't want to be on one. Ever. The trauma and PTSD of being conscious on a ventilator isn't worth it to me, much less the after-effects. If people read up on the side effects of ventilation they might stay home with a bottle of whisky and hope for the best.
I'm being sure all my documents (advanced directive, DNR/DNI etc) are taped to my fridge in case anybody's unclear about my wishes.
I don't think it'll come to all that but preparation is reassuring. It sounds like you were way ahead of the curve on this, G. Now...join me in binge-watching Outlander where the problems of the 1700s make ours shrivel, comparatively.
hugs
Hops
Meh:
Today it's announced that another hotel was purchased to be used as a "quarantine" center. So now we have two icky hotels that are in no way set up to provide medical care. A grandparent is locked into his room at assisted living. We are at 40 deaths here and the highest confirmed cases in the country so far.
