Grocery shopping today. Funny the parking lot was nearly empty- it's usually packed. But inside, the store was full - maybe they got "beamed up." Toilet paper was GONE but, I stocked up earlier. I'm always stocked up because I never know what new or different food will bring on the "trots."

The n95 masks, yes. I have some but haven't touched em.

I have some, but they are old and the elastic bands are breaking. I just use 2 hairbands to hold them on. They are for small faces, from when I was working.

Is it N95 masks? Uh... actually that's what I have for cleaning the coop. Guess I better hide mine from prying public eyes!

Definitely, you can't get them anymore. The ones you can get, are selling fast for tons of money.

The hubby calls buying huge packs of TP as "investing in our future" lol

Sorry for this

N95 masks aren't a perfect option. However, if you're caring for a sick person then they can help. If they didn't reduce risk, why are medical providers using them when they're healthy? An N95 respirator would be better but neither is 100% effective. That's mostly due to fit, not the effectiveness of the mask itself.

It's going to be interesting seeing how this affects the customary greeting here in Spain which is a kiss on both cheeks.

Some of Germany is 4 kisses to family and friends
Netherlands is 2 or 3 kisses....

I really miss that intimate contact that is not intimate....

I don't get outside that much anyway, so I'm at a lower risk for becoming infected.

How do you not go outside much with animals? Plus, I would think, being inside...with other people would put you at higher risk, than being outside breathing in clean air on the farm? That’s just my thought?
