I agree with you all how frustrating it is that some people are not adhering to the guidelines set. I saw some town is taking down the basketball backboards because people continue to play there. What is unclear to them? It is mindbongling.

We are at the time of year where the cold and flu season should be getting past us and yet this keeps spreading :(

I saw on the news where ppl in their 20"s health nuts feel they are safe because they are health conscious, they were told they could still this
COVID , have no symptoms, not get sick but could still pass it on to ppl they come into contact with. I forget what state it was wants ppl that do not have to go out stay home, you were allowed to go out if you had to go to work, are a caregiver, watched children and other things of this nature. If ppl were just out and strolling about they would institute a new law and arrest those that were not following the stay at home policy. It's going to have to come down to that for ppl to understand what stay home means.
As careful as I have been, last Monday I had catastrophic flood in my house, I have been subjected to many strangers coming into my house to rid it of water, some floors and walls have to be removed and new installed, new installation put in, lots of plumbing to be done. When they leave I wipe everything down with alcohol. Since there are no hand sanitizers to be found I was using alcohol on baby wipes when I did have to go out and had to touch things, I also wore latex gloves. I had 2 bottles of alcohol and felt safe using that, "had" enough until this buying frenzy was over. I have used one bottle since the flooding and the contractors have not started the repairs.
I do have hydrogen peroxide to fall back on because I will use that last bottle of alcohol. Just ticks me off big time I was taking all precautions then this.......

Are there very many cases in your county

With all the comotion going on this week I haven't been able to check but will today, last time I looked was the 20th, count was 647 cases, on the 15th it was 200 something. I HATE that I cannot find what town these cases are in, last week I did see my town had several cases.

Without knowing who it is that makes it a lot more difficult to figure out have I come in contact with them?

So far, it’s just one case here

I can't find the numbers but found this


hot zone’; Pa.'s COVID-19 cases
specialists have confirmed community spread is occurring in the Poconos.
The vast majority of the patients seeking services in our emergency department are COVID-19 related.
Residents need to take social distancing seriously.


I live in the Poconos which is a big tourist attraction.


I don't have much time to spend on the computer, much to do since the flooding.

One case today, 100 tomorrow. This is a fast moving virus, I was following almost daily the amount of cases in my county, not knowing if they were in my town was upsetting. Now that I know we had several cases I am really upset. I just started using a grocery delivery service, I do not want to go to supermarkets if I can help it, I am in the high risk of ppl getting it.

I know ☹️

Lysol spray and keep up with hand washing with soap (any soap will do) don’t touch your hands to your face keep safe sorry for all you’re going through. Hugs, K

That's just awful anytime but now, with trying your dead level best to stay safe at home, you have to have contractors all over your house and then clean up to try to save your health. Horrible! Hugs and more hugs to you, you, Joan.

They arrested some guy last night for having a barbecue with over 60 people and then went on to have a bonfire I think the next night with another over 60 people there they given him three warnings and I believe they put him in jail that’s southern Maryland.

Are they nuts, that's what is going to happen in every state if ppl do not stop this mingling.

I can't use Lysol spray with the pup, I don't use any sprays in the house. They say a bleach and water mixture is good also, I cannot take the smell of bleach, but will have to use it and save some alcohol.

Thank you Kat

Right!!!! of all times to have a flood in your home, I lock my pup in the back room that isn't affect by the flooding. I want no one to pet him, breath on him.

Thank you Kat and Jeanie for the hugs, I sure need them.

I know it. It's really scary. Glad you're staying as safe as you can.
