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

I just heard that travel to the US from Europe has been suspended except from Great Britain. This also includes all trade.
What have you experienced, and are you experiencing shortages in your area? Have you been sick, or do you have friends or family that are?
Italy has closed commerce except for pharmacies and food stores.

Central Cali, stores are good and gas is cheap.
I work at the college in Operations and working one day a week. Luckily we are under contract and doing other 4-days with virtual training.
Fortunate enough that my three of four kids have state jobs and are at home as well and we get together for dinner often. They are taking the self quarantine seriously.

How long seeds last

Do you know what storage conditions are necessary for these numbers to apply?

Starting to snow again. My Buffs don’t like walking in the snow. They have a lot of fluff to them but stay under cover while it snows. Luckily we are at 4000’ elevation and it doesn’t stay for very long, usually couple days, were supposed to get 12” today!

Ahahahahahaah, no.
You would probably be surprised at how many pounds of flour humans who eat it regularly actually use. Since we aren’t sure how long this is going to last and people in my immediate family are at a high risk, we chose to stock up on flour and put it into storage as a precaution.

Exactly. We are a small and gluten free family and it's amazing how much flour I go through because anything baked and/or bread like, such as pancakes, I have to make.

Thank you. These are way more generous numbers than have found.

I was going to ask the same thing. I'm guessing those are with optimal conditions.

Beautiful view!

I'm interested in knowing that too. I threw away my old seeds because I heard they're no good after a year. The package even says they expire after a year.

AZ has 2575 cases, 75 deaths. 20 to 44 year olds make up the most cases, 65+ age range is lower by at least 1/3.

People here are upset that our state hasn't been providing any info about where the cases are, not city or zip code info even, so we know where the hotspots are. Lawsuits are being filed.

People are also angry that golfers can golf but people with dogs can't go to dog parks where distance is pretty common. So there may be upcoming changes to what's considered an essential business.

ETA our governor has imposed a 14 day quarantine on anyone coming to the state from a hot zone.

We never use flour in our house. My family eats veggies, rice or veggie pasta, and meat for dinner. I eat all veggies. Flour is something that's a no go to me since it really does nothing to energize my body. If I eat anything with flour I get insanely tired and I don't like it.
