OK, well I'm not going to get into a back and forth with people who are offended with reality, which is, the chances of this collective uninformed panic collapsing the economy are enormously greater than the chances of some boogeyman virus killing everyone.

Markets/economies recover, in case you hadn't noticed the most recent recovery since 2008. You don't recover from death. Your own or the death of those you love.

I just got back from the local feed store and they were well stocked with everything they usually stock, so that's good news!

We don't eat much meat. Beans supply a lot of our nutritional needs, we eat a lot of them. Pasta won't supply those nutrients. And my fussy eater, autistic kid really likes beans! We have lentils in the freezer. Guess he will have to eat those. And split peas.

Yesterday at my store the Oreo aisle was empty. It's a good time to conquer that vice of mine, lol.

Let me know how it goes with the chocolate withdrawals.....k?
Meanwhile I think I might have to go to the kitchen and scrape up some brownie ingredients...

Uh-oh!

Florida heath officials say that they've found the virus or exposure to the virus in 19 senior living facilities. That's 19 separate senior housing sites full of the most vulnerable.

In contrast, in WA which has to this point reported the highest incident of Covid-19 cases, the outbreak began in a single senior living facility.

Some folks think when the weather gets warm/hot it will kill the bacteria off. All I know is a lot of bacteria accelerates in heat.

But it's not a bacteria, it's a virus!

... And then got spread around because they brought staff from different care facilities to help out, and then the staff went back to their own facilities...

Masks help keep hands away from the mouth....or a cone of shame, like for a neuter dog LOL

You ready to go through a depression?

Chocolate is one of my main homestead prepping supplies. As a diabetic it is sugar free but...

I know...I apparently failed prepping class **hangs head in shame**
However, in my defense the last time I shopped was several weeks ago, before toilet paper pandemonium hit. I'm seriously considering ordering some from Amazon and hoping it doesn't melt in transit.
