America is ok. If you have lost your job, apply for unemployment benefits. I’m not political but things are ok. I see with my own eyes it’s ok in America. If you’re recently laid off, enough money is available to you. For your necessities only. Fair and faithful from the rest of us. I am fine. Hi Kristin, I too am from California, upper desert, Other then a shortage of paper products we seem to be OK here too. I refuse to panic and live in fear. Thanks for your post and calm head.

If everything is seeming shutting down. How are the farm workers going to work and who are going to produce the food and other necessities to keep things on the shelves. I mean it is a lot of things that has to come together, before food comes to the grocery. Ever read the label in a simple food product as a snack bar, maybe twenty or so ingredients that are are a composition of other things too. I am sure others are thinking about this, but I have not seen or heard anyone mention it. Any thoughts. They can only shut down for a limited time as you correctly point out people have go to work. farms, markets, production, supply and distribution need workers or we will have starvation.

Saw the empty shelves for toilet paper. However, I asked a clerk if they had any in the back. He told me to go by the stockroom doors....they were handing it out there! Luckily, I asked! There was no line. Got one big pack. When I got home I called three of my neighbors to let them know! One of them called me back to thank me! She's the lady who took me to the market on Monday. I am pretty well supplied now. Bought a bag of fish sticks and pasta salad....can alternate that with the frozen meals I bought on Friday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If social media goes down, then the word panic would turn into nightmare as people already loosing the human contact would feel very isolated. Let's keep the prayer that this would not be the case. My update as to grocery shopping today. For the first time, there was lineup outside as they are limiting how many can be in the grocery at any one time. It was a little cold outside, but the line and wait time was not that long. There was just about everything in the grocery, but some shelves were very scanty in some dry good items. They had just brought out TP and it was in 30 rolls, so I picked up one and the price was even lower than regular price, go figure. There was no basket and only shopping carts , as the attendants mentioned, it was to keep your distance. Also no cash back service was available, which I never used anyway. The cashiers had plexi glass installed so that they were not in direct contact with the customers. All in all there was no hassle, but people were buying a lot. I myself bought a bit extra than I usually do, as I want to limit my visit to the store as to lineup ect. Went to the bank machine to take out some cash, as I usually do most of my buying by cash . There was a note on the door that the branch was temporarily close, but the ATM was still working. More and more , I am seeing the use of cash as being avoided and I think depending on how long this situation remains , they may end all cash transactions to avoid contacts and infections. I think though, when all this is over ,those situation may be permanent and the cashless society would be instituted . With the disease picking up pace in North America, and lock down starting to be implemented to try to eradicate the disease, phobias are also picking up here. For the first time I saw so many people with wearing mask everywhere . I made a tool to open doors so that less contact in which so many people touch, and also another one to pull open doors that has just a handle. Hey, I am trying to be inventive here. So ,this is my update in my little part of the community I live in Toronto, Canada. How about yours, let us know ?. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
