We have three close friendly neighbors who are in a bad way, cow neighbors wife is coming home from the hospital to spent her remaining days, goat noise neighbor just got home from hospital with his cancer issues,and isn't doing well at all...my dear friend neighbor is loosing weight like crazy and I have been trying to encourage her to at least drink BOOST, she is so weak she just tilts and falls... ...if the virus arrives here...how do you make a decision on who to help ? Everyone around us is in need right now and we are just getting over a month of being sick ourselfs...
I think many of us will have to make choices that we are not used to making, I am so wired to automatically help out those that are close to me....but we are all in our mid 60's plus in age.....???

Barb...please, please, please...I know this is hard...but think of yourselves first!!

Listen all, my niece is a PA, the hospital is advising everyone to drink water every 15 minutes...this is respiratory....if you drink the water it will help keep it from getting into your lungs..,which, once it’s there...you can’t fight it, as well. If you are drinking...it flushes it to the stomach where the stomach acids break down the virus and can keep you safer. Drink up!! I don’t think includes alcohol!!

Ah, that's why they wanted the toilet paper. (JK, I've heard that too)

I went to the grocery store today. Where I shop, it was a little busier than normal but not bad. My daughter went to the butcher shop and waited in line 25minutes to find out they were out of whatever she was looking to buy. A friend went to a Kroger and there wasn’t any chicken. I purchased the last 2 bottles of grain alcohol from the liquor store. I make my own products. Schools here are closed for at least a week some longer. I thank God that I got a crazy idea a few years ago that I wanted my own chickens to lay me eggs and that I got a few goats last year and will hopefully have goats milk in the late summer. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon such a wonderful community that I know I can turn to who can help me if I need it even though it’s through the internet but y’all have taught me so much and share so much that I feel comfortable. Currently I’m trying to decide if I want to buy some meat chicks to raise for meat. I just don‘t know that I could butcher them. im still trying to decide on that one. I’m not supposed to raise animals to eat in our county. Prayers for all.

My hubs said last night to wait on animal feed till Monday, that "no one anywhere" was gonna make a run on feed. Well, at lunch HE went to store near work and got the last bag of rabbit feed on shelf and the last bag of All flock poultry feed. And said there's only a few chick starters left. Goat feed was in better supply but definitely down from the usual. We also laid in 3 large bags of kibble for the doggos last night. "Probably" not gonna run out of dog food at pet store ...but we can't tell when or if a biz will decide to close whether out of concern or because it's employees are sick. We're settling in now. I don't want to be out there over the weekend for sure. Stay safe all.

I am on work from home and Alexander will be held from school for alreast a week no matter what stupid school district says. I am high risk and kids are borderline with constant bronchiolitis.

It's not just elderly or people with weakened immune system at high risk. If you read CDC advisory Appendix A, there are a 10 major medical condition groups at high risk.

Stay safe!

Just got home from the two stores that serve almost three counties...it was very busy...., no TP, cleaners, sanitizers, no rubbing alcohol and prices were higher on some items than normal ( one was a Walmart) , ..
.the other store (Winn Dixie) had people cleaning everything... floors, hard surfaces, they had machines for dispensing hand sanitizer to the customers ....TS was also full with people loading up on feed....
We are all set to hunker down for whatever comes our way.....at least people are being smart enough to prepare for "something" rather than sitting back and waiting to see what happens.... I think we used more hand sanitizer , and lysol spray going in and out of public areas of people today than we have used in the last month.
Hopefully this will all be over with soon and we can look back as appreciate how well we prepared and responded to what could of been "mass hysteria to a pandemic"......

I believe asthma is one of them, so that's us.
School is canceled for 2 weeks here now. Now hopefully the hospitals will have enough time before it spreads to prepare for this mess to hit.
