| Social Distancing 2020 Just curious, how is everyone making it in these unusual times? Any home projects or stories with Yorkies or not? I'll start. I have been enjoying my two dogs playing together (puppy and rescue pup together) and doing some new recipes. Hope to hear your stories!

| My son Danny has a 100+ lb. American Bulldog, still growing, and they still take their daily roaming walks in nearby wooded areas and parks. I'm walking and exercising everyday, often throughout the house if the weather is rainy as it has been lately, and of course, most everything is done thru delivery these days so have about broken my back getting some of those items out of their huge boxes and down the hall to storage! And then getting those shipping boxes the size of a car through the house, thru the utility porch and out to the yard and then over into the alley the night before pickup. Then ordering groceries is a several-day wait for delivery but safer than going in. They leave it on the porch and you get to lug the bags in through the house to the kitchen, empty them and put everything away. Fresh produce often has to be repackaged, etc. for the frig. Lots of work just keeping up with it all. Watching lots of old movies and reading books! Thank God for the world of books we have at our fingertips. Oh, and washing my hands after I touch anything that came in from outside! Went to doctor's for a check-up after my December fall and only 2 patients - me and one other besides sketeton staff. Said next month likely thru telemedicine. Wore a mask I put on according to WHO guidelines and tossed it the minute I got home. Came in and immediately removed all my clothing and clogs into the washing machine and showered right after. Nobody gets inside so far! Pharmacy is drive-thru or delivery so no contact there except the sacks, paper junk that attends Rx.'s and the bottles(which I sanitize with hand-sanitizer) and sit alone untouched for days afterward and then transfer pills to older bottle and toss the new one. WWWWWWashing, washing, washing hands and then moisturizing to keep them from chapping. Gone through half bar of soap in 1 1/2 weeks and 1/4 jar of hand cream. Everybody stay safe. This too will pass and so far, mortality rate is low, morbidity mild and most recover rather soon, hopefully with some immunity.

| This is no change to my normal days in the winter time since, I’m retired. Been shortages of t.p in the stores probably other things as well. Since we Were asked to stay inside in Illinois, I don’t have a real grasp how other people are reacting to this in Illinois. I am taking this all serious. I saved the state web page with the counties that show where the virus has been reported.

| I don’t know where I saw it but a store had a low price for the first item and quadrupled it for the second item.

| Can you believe it? Unless they are buying for the whole block they live on(which I sorta doubt) or unless they have a huge family with constant diarrhea, how in the world can they ever use that much TP! Must be hoping to resell it to those who went to stores only to find empty shelves!

| The way they were shy of being recorded at first kinda tells you they didn't feel that good about what they'd done. This article no doubt will have a few folks looking into this amount of TP hoarding, at least on the face of it.

| Wow! Hope that item wasn't restricted to purchasing more than one of that item!

| Disasters bring out the worst and the best in people. We got a Red Cross blood drive still going on Tuesday. I’m going to go donate blood. People still have operations And emergencies going on in life

| You inspired me. Donated money to our food bank as I can't give blood due to low count and history of hepatitis B. But we can all donate something!
