yesterday after 3 weeks I went to costco and yes they have it all controlled, only handful of people they were allowing to go and yes people are still touching left and right and thinking should I take it not. to me it was not right, they should touch if they want to buy stuff. I feel like no matter how much you tell individuals to be careful, they will do the things. :(
Please stay safe!
Anyone in Trenton, NJ area and cannot go out, please message me and I will get stuff for you. |

^^This.
We are starting our third week of work from home tomorrow, and we consider ourselves very lucky to still be actively employed. My wife is waiting to see if she gets called to work the testing sites; she has not as yet. I worry about our daughter who manages retail for a large Arkansas-based company, and who is on immnosupressing meds for Crohns. I worry about my wife's parents who are elderly and especially for my mother in law who has respiratory issues.
Our thoughts are with the entire DPC community. Stay safe everyone. |

South Africa is in lockdown. You are only allowed out the house to buy food or medical reasons. Some people don't adhere to it at all and violent videos are going around. Problem is a lot of the poor, uneducated population (and we have a large percentage of them), don't understand the whole situation. Its difficult to stick to a rigid regime if you have no clue why you should be doing that.
Anyway, my property is large and I am busy doing everyday jobs and finding things to catch up on that i have been neglecting for a while.
The dogs are a bit confused, but other than that we are good so far.
I don't think I will need to go out for at least 10 days, and then just to get some fruit and veg.
Stay at home, stay safe.

Oh my. So much I want to respond to in this, Rich. Stay safe.
Alexa, which our granddaughter's parents gave us for Christmas to facilitate our weekly calls with her, has proved to be a blessing beyond worth. I am still nervous about her and turn her off whenever our calls are done, but they humor me and text me when she wants to call. In addition, I'm serving twice a day as virtual "adult on call" and "story time grandma" for her and her sister AND four times a week as personal reader for her. At 8 1/2 she reads amazingly well by herself and love to do so . . . but NOTHING yet replaces having me read to her in her eyes and so I do.
Otherwise we are fine. Here in Nebraska my husband and I are hunkered down. I get out daily for solitary neighborhood walks, but other than that and once every 3-4 week trips to the grocery store, we are staying home and praying for everyone. |

we are in lockdown, here NZ so being in the back of beyond we have been spared the worst, the main way the infection runs is returning holiday makers.
I guess we will see how our Prime Minister does as its election year .
I can walk down to the dairy shop, or to the dog park to give Bonnie a run with other dogs.
My daughter works in a pharmacy..and my son in law is a teacher..so we all pull together |

Jeff is wondering if he had it and we're both wondering if he passed it to me. Dry cough, but no fever.
But when I logged on to DPC, it told me that I had expired. So it must have been more serious than I had thought! |

That's HILARIOUS! (in the pandemic sort of way)
I hope you're all better soon. :D

Very nice! I'll bet it's fun to be the neighbor of a horn player. :)
I'm working from home. The office manager here does a lousy job (lots of dishes in the sink, place needs vacuuming) and my coworkers walk on my keyboard when I'm working. I've been putting out food and water for the backyard kitty. She seems nice but a little shy.
