Scary? Absolutely! Terrifying? Sometimes, since I'm in the slightly higher risk population - with asthmatic issues. Crippling? Absolutely NOT! I will soldier on!

Be proactive. Start building up your immune system. Make it a habit.

" I will soldier on" is actually the opposite of what military personnel can do right now. my dad and uncle are in the military and they are now unable to travel anywhere right now. instate or out of it. so no going to grandparents house for grandpas birthday

I do - and I spend a lot of time outside. Thanks!

This really has been an interesting thread. While reading about the shortages or conduct of others can provoke anxiety it also weirdly reassures that what we are experiencing --physically, emotionally, mentally-- is shared by so many others. None of us are immune to either the virus or the various concerns it causes. But I do have a conundrum....tomorrow is the start of chick days at our TSC's.
So do I continue to socially distance and lay low OR do I do my small part of keeping the economy strong and go purchase additional chicks/ducklings I thoroughly do not need but oh so want? That is the burning question.

I just put more eggs in my bator because I want more chicks, but TSC doesn't have what I want.

Trust me folks, it bites to self isolate but you can do it. I have been doing it for two years now all winter due to being immuno-suppressed. You cope. Find something to do and hunker down. Read a book, binge watch tv, do puzzles, etc.

I quilt, crochet, embroider, read, do art, build things. I stay busy in other words and my flock of chickens always need something. They are worse than kids that way.

My husband and I are also HAM radio operators. I told our club members on our regular NET that we do on Saturdays to cowboy up. It was time for us to do what we have been trained to do. Provide emergency communication and exchange valuable community information to emergency services.

To all of you who have served in whatever way whether it be military, health services, law enforcement, or teaching, thank you.

I am wondering what everyone is doing with all of the toilet paper. Every store I have been to is sold out. Luckily we have enough to last quite awhile but I bought it awhile ago. Just curious.

Nice! I just got an incubator for use with quail going forward. I'd have to purchase fertilized eggs for chickens or ducks. Hmmm....
