| Oh yeah Question do you make small trips every one or one stop shop? I’m so forgetful to write things down if I run out of something I make sure to pick up an item or two as needed. Right before this got bad, I ordered a freezer full of meat. It took a while with everything going on but at least I don’t have to worry about buying any for a year. |

| The last two trips to Walmart, we shopped online and they brought everything out to the car. Just need a Walmart app but, it saved time being in the store. |

| We used that earlier on, but they frequently did not have what we needed (and there was the exact product inside the store on the shelves), plus on produce and meats I like to choose my own. I definitely use curbside pickup wherever possible...there are actually many vendors who will carry out to the car for seniors. Most of the time we go to Amazon for anything outside of food and essentials. Thank goodness for them when my Mom in an assisted living facility in NY needs something. She has not had anyone allowed inside since March, and I do all of her shopping for non-provided items.

| They opened up our schools last week and now they shut it back down after a student tested positive. Sigh 2021 can’t get here soon enough unless the asteroid gets us in November 🙄 |

| Ugh! We're going to have to learn how to live with this disease and accept that it's potentially contagious to be among others but thankfully the young seem to fare far, far better than the elderly. As so many Americans are apparently too independent to mask up, glove up longer than 2 months we'll either have to stay half-shut down and suffer the results or live with disease among us until.......

| The things I took for granted, movies, going out to eat, concerts, sporting events and any of my grandkids school events are on hold. They could have had everyone go on a two week hiatus as soon as the outbreak started. What’s it going to be like when flu season starts up in a few months to go along with it. At least, we can get a flu shot 😠 |

Doubt whether anyone would have even listened to a two week hiatus request unless they arrested them or something, even now, let alone when the disease was first known. Since the mortality rate is so low, most younger folks don't suffer that much from having it, people, especially the young, just don't take it seriously enough to alter their behavior that long.

| I have been getting flu shots for the last 20 plus years, even while working colds were far and few between. Then I moved from NY where I always drove to my work place to Pennsylvania where I now had to take a commuter bus to my Manhattan job. Bus held 57 passengers with a 1 1/2 hour drive to the city. I did catch a few colds. I retired Dec. 2010 I still get my flu shots and no colds for 10 years, so, the secret to no more colds is to retire, children's colds are so contagious.

| Not a year, it's been over 15 years maybe more and I worked in 3 surgeons' office with a lot of daily patients of every age. My mom was same way, she hardly ever had a cold so I guess it's just genetic. I take 2000 mg. Vit C daily now and usually have taken it but would run out, skip months between resuming it. Always walked daily, stayed slim, eaten healthy, don't drink or smoke, gotten yearly flu shot for past 20 years, very active but otherwise, have no idea why I'm never sick. I've often heard that kids are a petri dish on legs so that could be part of the reason.

| It can if the mask is thick enough to catch droplet spread full of cold, covid 19 or other airborne germs, is always treated after wearing as a bio hazard and as long as mask never touched with ungloved hands which can contaminate it or touched with ungloved hands but hands immediately washed for at least 20 seconds, thoughorly dried; and then removed immediately at home with gloved hands straight into the trash along with the gloves. Once worn, the mask oand any gloves that remove it must be treated as bio hazard for best practices.
