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

I don't do that for sure, people are so damn disgusting. I've been known to tell people off when they do that crap. I'm not a normal person who just gets allergies once a year, I have an autoimmune disorder and allergies make it much harder to deal with. However, I am a person who was laid off and has no insurance. When I went shopping because I needed to stock up on allergy pills, milk and toilet paper they were all gone so I had to ration what I have.

Hey, IM. Is there something I can see about getting here and sending to you?

FYI RX medications:
Check your state's or insurances sites.

When I picked up my kiddo's RX 2 weeks ago I asked to get a 90 supply because I saw this coming. Well, no, not exactly this, but I knew it was going to be rough. Insurance denied it even though kiddo's been on it for years, it's a generic, and it's inexpensive. I'd already decided on Monday that if push came to shove I would just not get the refills until things were safer. (it's not a life saving medication)

Yesterday I was poking around on my state's site to see what exactly was what for general guidance and rules. There was a medication tab that I clicked and per our Governer's order, the 30 day medication supply rule has been suspended to allow for 90 day supplies so people can stock up.
I'd encourage people who have prescription medication concerns to check their state's or insurance's sites to see if they also can get 90 days supplies during this. Obviously if you already could get 90 days, or even have mail order RX's, then you are in much better shape than some of us.

We have a local Artisan resource group that are making facemasks for local clinics. Makes me kinda wish I’d learned to sew! I know it gave me a little lift to know there are helpers taking action.
One of the local feed stores is advertising free delivery, and a local straw seller who has always had free delivery added that you don’t have to meet me face to face. I can put the straw where you want it and we’ll figure out the payment later.

Germany had their first Covid-19 case on 1/29. A month before we had ours. They have 19,700 cases at present. We have 14,600. They have 54 deaths. We have 210. Four times as many.

My doctor already put in for 90 days last month when he saw this in China. I think he's quite a smart man and I am glad that he is my doctor.

I'm a quilter and I'm actually a little miffed that our quilting guild has not stepped up to make masks. I've been trying to find local places to connect with so I can figure out how to make and donate what they need, but since the cases are not high (yet) in my area, the locals are not taking things seriously.

Unfortunately a lot of people are not taking this seriously

I have a link!! My mother and I are just getting ready to start making them! It has directions on how to sew them to CDC standards and this particular hospital is already asking for donations but I'm sure your local hospitals won't be far behind!

Can you PM me the link or post it here?
