CoronaVirus and What's Happening Where You Live?
I have to admit, I'm more than a little scared. I'm over 60 with heart disease and diabetes...
Sources around here in Cuyahoga County, OH say these cases are just the introduction and that it will soon sky rocket. Any public gatherings like sporting events and theater have been canceled. Schools are closed for at least 3 weeks. People at the stores are going nut-so, buying up bottled water and toilet paper!
If we are put into a forced lock down situation I can see needing the toilet paper, plus a lot of non perishables, but not the water. You can use bleach to sanitize water to be drinkable, and the ratio is easy to find on the internet. But everyone being sick doesn't mean we loose utilities... does it?
I literally got the last package of toilet paper at the Aldi's store yesterday. We just happened to stop in for some fresh veggies and couldn't believe what we were seeing. Canned goods were totally wiped out, not a can of beans or spaghetti O's to be seen! You probably still have time to stock up but ... Don't forget the pets!
While stores will do their best to keep restocking, the problems will come if delivery sources get interrupted.
The thing that makes this insane is we are the richest country in the world, and we're buying everything in sight.
So how's things in your neck of the woods?
