Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

...though, now you have me thinking...wonder if someone local on here could come over and help me.
Aka, do it all while I watch from a distance.

I would if I was closer.....

Yes, I suppose they do....**said begrudgingly...**

How about I you my young roos since you seem to be the roo wisperer. Teach them to be respectful of the goddess who brings the food and they might be able to keep themselves alive here.

The current roo gets to stay...until he looks at me cross eyed once.
And only once.

I'll take them. All of them.

I don't know why it wouldn't be appropriate for this thread... this is how we're passing our time during quarantine! If you want to get back to Covid for a bit, Maryland just announced that, as of this Saturday, anyone out in a public building (grocery stores, feed stores, banks, anything) MUST wear a mask. So much for leveling off ...

Same here announced today, starting Fri.
Wonder if they plan on arresting or fining us or both

Look what I got today.
Thanks to a secret donation.

The wrong way/mean face first.
Then the correct way to wear the mask...I think.



Thanks @IamRainey I owe you one.

Finally got out of the house, our senior(and/or disabled) free bus took us to $ tree - wow, such wildness. Nobody on the bus had any sort of mask(okay I did) - bus was full, certainly no social distancing. I saw the bus driver had a box of the proper kind of mask that health care workers wear. She didn't wear one and didn't pass out any. Maybe she felt it would hinder her driving if she wore a mask? I just worry about her.

She has asthma and other serious considerations - I really thought she shouldn't be driving during this. But, guess she really needs the job. About a month ago she was hospitalized for several days. She is divorced and has two teenage sons.

That is awesome!!

I am getting a lot of hubs friends asking for masks here now.
I may have to make some for Dan and his small crew of workers.

BTW I live in a village (not enough population to be a town or city I guess). No word coming out anywhere re: if there is any problem with covid in our area. Nothing at all from Village Hall not even their usual newsletter. People in my neighborhood do not practice social distancing, wear masks (I do) or shelter at home. I'm not stupid, I don't believe our village is blessed.

Nearby towns have reported cases and some deaths - not here.

Wish I could make masks, I don't have a sewing machine and my hands don't work all that great. My grandmother was a seamstress - think that is spelled wrong. Even without a machine, she did beautiful tiny, even stitches.

Used to make potholders on a small kids loom. I think they would fail as masks, too thick and heavy, I bet air couldn't infiltrate anywhere.

Besides the dining area of our local diner being closed, not a thing has changed here. Aside from “out-of-towners” coming here and buying up all our Toilet Paper!! I don’t know anyone that has it, knows someone that has it or even knows OF someone having it here!
We are a very small rural/farming community. Less than 60k in the entire county I believe. So strangers kinda stick out. Local stores pretty much know everyone, at least by face, so they have started to refuse sale to anyone that’s from outside of the community. I guess it got pretty bad. The owner said he had someone come down from Nashville and try to buy just about all the toilet paper in stock! After that they stopped sales unless they know/recognize you or someone vouches for you.
I wonder if anyone else on here, that lives out in the country, has noticed a lot of strangers driving around their area? A neighbor told me he spoke to some people that think that they can just come out here to “survive in the country” if it gets bad in town and they were here looking around! I think people believe that they can just escape the city and just come out to our farms to “survive”! I hope that’s not true and that’s not the case. Cuz they’re gonna have a very rude awakening if it is! Most land owners around here do NOT take kindly to trespassers.

Same here small town, less than 50,000 in a 1,500 sq mi county. Since this started stores been filled with them. I live 4.5hrs from NYC. Usually see a lot during summer time holidays and deer season. Way more now.
I haven't heard any of them threatening to become squatters yet though hopefully they know better than that

Did you see this one?

I also think this one on the CDC site would be easy to hand stitch.
