I thought I was not affected that much, but of course doing my due personal diligence of washing my hands even more than normal and the such. I thought I wasn't buying into the panic, because it doesn't help change anything and I don't like the feeling. Still.... when I went to Dollar General a few days ago and the lady that checked me out, coughed into her elbow and then sniffed long and hard right after as she was ringing up my 4 things..... I'm thinking.... ewww.... .and I didn't want to touch the bag handles....... and the next day, I went to pick up some breakfast on the way to my Moms and I swear it seemed the person taking the money sounded very congested, so I gave her the exact change so she didn't touch my credit card or give me anything back.....LOL !!! I realize the normal amount of colds and flu are going around and if there is a diagnosed case of covid here in my little town I haven't heard it, but I guess being bombarded with it everywhere I turn around has seeped into my subconscious a little bit without me realizing. I'm still trying to keep it out ! Drats !

Unfortunately it is getting pretty bad here. Hopefully it will not get so bad where you are. People are saying Florida is the next Italy. A high elderly population. We shall see. My husband works at the hospital, so on the plus side he has a job, on the negative side who knows what he is bringing home with him. I have been almost entirely secluded from society, but I did go to a plant nursery yesterday because it is a place that there are never more than a couple people and way spread out. Well, yesterday of all days the owner comes up to me - a man in his 70s and very much a flirt - and gets right in my face and starts chatting away. I was subtly trying to back away. I don't know what he has, but more realistically, he should be afraid of what I might be carrying.

I didn't think about the areas with large populations of elderly ! I haven't been out all week, but finally did go out. My left knee was crying for some advil and when I was gathering in before last weekend, I did not realize I had none. It got bad enough to make me go out to my local Dollar General. I also went to Walmart very early the next morning, went in the quiet end and got a battery for my car. Mine was leaking acid or I would not have risked it right now. Fortunately, since it was on the opposite end from the grocery section, except for the auto parts clerk, I never got close to anyone and didn't touch anything..... till it came to the credit card pad. I had taken an un-sharpened pencil I had here and has planned to use the eraser in to punch buttons, but it would not work on the screen ! argghhhh ... ha ha.... so I had to touch it and then of course once I got to the car I did the antiseptic wipe, which I can't say I have a lot of faith in and washed my hands and back tracked on the doorknobs and stuff after I got home...... I know it doesn't matter how much I think of, I can never think of it all. I wiped down the items I brought in and etc. Keeping up with all of that makes going anywhere a real chore. Worth it if it saves me, but still..... I am working at home and feel fortunate that if I mess up and get it, I am not bringing it back home to anyone else. My aunt next door is over 80, maybe 81. She goes somewhere every day. My uncles says he can't keep her home ! Not good ! .... Yesterday, the first case was reported in the next city over from me. The cities are very small, so that is pretty much in my back yard. I also know that for everywhere, since so many people have been unable to be tested, that the numbers are a lot larger than reported. When I went out those two short times, there were plenty of people still out and about. I have tried to go to my Mom's on Sundays (she's 85) as she is nearly a prisoner at home with my step-dad (who I love) .... who has dementia and is WAY down that rabbit hole now. I feel like to be safe for her, that I cannot go today and it makes me sad for both of us. I hope your husband will be able to stay safe from it. I admire all the people who are still going in for the others that need help. Stay safe !!

I have parents in their 70s and a diabetic brother, so they are on my mind. I think they will be okay though. It certainly is a strange time in history, at least for my generation. It is our first real "event" that has effected our home life. I hope you all stay well. I have migrated over to Hive now. We shall see how it goes over there, but I will be checking in back over here too.
