Yikes, Vin... so glad to hear you're still with us and you're on the mend. Virtual hugs from the northeast, with hope that daytime TV isn't driving you nuts!
OMG, Demolition Man! There is no toilet paper either, only seashells!
I'm going a little stir crazy. I thought I heard Trump say we should look into injecting disinfectant...lol
He did. That was a thing that actually happened. Lysol had to put a big message on their website warning people he was wrong and not to do that.
I need this remembered in the history books.
OKC prospect and I have been texting less frequently. I think we both know we might never meet, or if we do it will be in the distant future. The place she is staying now is on her mother's property. Apparently her mother is very serious about quarantining. She's making her stay away from the house for 14 days. I assume that means if we meet or I go over there she will be exiled for another 14 days. That seems a bit over the top to me.
How so? It makes 100% certain she doesn't infect her mother. We've done a hard quarantine ourselves except that we are literally seeing no one. That's what they have asked everyone to do, anyway.
I agree with Vin that you might find some relief in learning a bit more about how this virus is actually spread and not focusing so much on all of the ways that it could possibly be spread. Taking every conceivable precaution and living in fear really doesn't offer more protection than the few simple steps that we know to be highly effective. I don't know where you are in NY, Vivki, but I am on Long Island where we have 70,000 cases right now. We're packed in and everyone here knows someone by now who has been touched by this virus. I live packed in among many folks who are affected by this, myself included, and still there is much to be happy about. The science is pretty clear now about how this is spread and how it is not spread. Focusing on every conceivable possible negative outcome does not protect a person more than focusing on a few known precautions and then getting on with the business of living and enjoying the day and the people we love.I've been reading your blog. I think you should do some reading up on this thing. It might ease your mind a little.
