Where are you in NY? I’m in Queens. Cuomo found time to be anti vaping this year, but he’s dragged his feet for sure with corona.
Stay safe, Obi.

Checking in - all is well as can be under the circumstances
Got the wild chicks yesterday - guess Hawaiians are hoarding live chickens, because there are no laying hens to be had right now

Walmart.com has toilet paper... order fast, I've lost 2 different ones in the last 15 mins but did manage to get checked out with some.
Here in the UAE, all schools were shut down two weeks ago. The Ministry ordered them to do online teaching. My university moved our spring break up and now classes begin on Sunday, all online. No one was ready for this. We're scrambling as we are learning Blackboard.
The good part has been this past week my youngest son started up classes using Google Classroom. I've worked with him every day and it's been enjoyable and a great bonding experience.
The scuttlebutt now is that this is going to last the rest of this school year. I like being in a classroom. I'm not looking forward to this online method. The bright side is I can vape away to my heart's content as we were told to not use video cams in order to conserve bandwidth. I will have to turn away from my mic so they don't hear my RDAs gurgling and popping.

Today I spent the morning in my normal Friday pay the bills routine. Then I went TP hunting again... much to my surprise I actually found it! Now crossing fingers they don't cancel the order. Still healthy... Chris is doing okay on the road, he hasn't seen anything totally bizarre yet anyways. The truck stops/restaurants are doing curb side and carry out. I seen where a Sonic created a separate drive thru just for truckers, but I don't recall where it was at.
Gov today basically said that people in Ohio are not doing what's being asked of them. And if necessary he has shown that he has and will use his power to FORCE them to. I have a pretty strong feeling we'll see a lockdown before Monday. They are also working with the Insurance companies to allow for employees affected by COVID-19 shutdown to not lose their insurance. And our congressman is working on something with "War Bonds" that would create funds that could be given to all the business owners that were forced to closed.

In KY all benefits like Snap, etc are automatically extended 3 months, All laid off because of the virus qualify for immediate unemployment and Medicaid.
Checking in. All is well.
Is it the entire state? I looked for stuff about our area, but there’s really nothing new.

Cuomo has been on TV all afternoon. Don't quote me, but I think it's the whole state.
I’ve been watching Brit Box, so I’ll have to see what’s up. I think NYC has one case so far. Thanks, Nada.
NYC has 5151 cases with 29 deaths.
And that is just tested confirmed cases.
Seems to be doubling daily or worse.

I believe it is the State and not just the City.

Hun, you really should watch some news or maybe check out the Times. Two days ago there were 3,615 cases in NYC.

So that means 1500 new cases in the past two days.
I think it was too.

Oh, it was one death. Sorry! I’m in an area that’s fairly far from the City, so it feels slightly “safer”.
The crazy thing is I watch BBC and ITV news online. I just haven’t watched TV in a while, but if not now, when?
I’m glad you’re around to remind me not to be a nitwit!!
yep and that is just test confirmed cases. probably well over 50,000 actual cases.

A publication called "Intelligencer" lists a count of 4,408 in the city as of Friday morning. Let's hope there weren't 800 new cases between Thursday night and Friday morning.
And yet when I looked at the NY DOH site, they didn’t really have anything new. :sigh:
The whole state of IL is locked down, they call it shelter in place
Jimi!!! Good to see you, dear! We're in same situation. Early lock-down due to compromised immune systems.
Please be very careful Trixy, I am glad you're staying inside. Not many are taking this seriously. We even disinfect everything that comes in the house because of my immune.
Jimi my hands are so dry from washing and I am cleaning clean utensils and surfaces before before I cook or serve. I have 2 people here in a high risk age and one is on Oxygen 24/7 and the other with a heart condition. Not even letting them answer the door if the bell rings.
Thanks, Crom. I signed up for the corona news alerts.
You need to get hand cream. If your hands get dry and/or crack, it could let germs or whatever in. So moisturize!
Dry not cracked and I know how to care for my skin after all the years I worked with my hands. Thanks for the concern but I know how to care for my skin.
I’m not sure there are any in Queens. Except that cabbie they brought to Elmhurst Hospital!! Which is not close to me. But lots of people use the subways here, but maybe not lately.
I’ve still got to finish stocking up. Thank God for online shopping!!
I just don’t want you to get over dried. I’m not being a wise ass. You’re my friend!
That’s a good trick for dry skin. I need some good cotton gloves for that, though. The plastic gloves feel weird to me.
Just Vape More to protect yourself~!

Great idea for a thread. Thank you and lots of love to all. Things here are starting to blow up and well, the land of the casinos, I knew this was coming and actually surprised it took this long. So far for the most part we are fine. They have cancelled some important doctors appts for both Dave and I but nothing that's gonna kill us if we don't have them. I might get uncomfortable without getting the injections for my back but there are people around us a lot worse off than I am. VA has shut down and pretty much all other medical offices too. One place called me and said they would call in a prescription for me but the pharmacy is OOS. It is what it is. Not life threatening.
These are some scary times for us all and I hope and pray all of us get through this as painlessly as possible. We all stick together I'm sending out a little care package to someone that didn't have masks, as we have some extra. This is what "family" is for. I'm glad you are my family. You don't think of these little things and then when something like this happens...............
About the only thing I can think of right now that we are low on is dog food, but we are supposed to be getting a delivery by Monday. I will give my animals chicken if I have to. lol they will not go hungry. By god I will drive north a little bit and go hunt if it comes down to it. That might sound extreme, but I will if I have to!! I hear quail is mighty good eating
We got this!
Oh I meant to add that when Dave did go to the store he said it was just eerie feeling. Shelves all bare, only a handful of people. He found like 3 loaves of bread on the shelf. He took 2 ( he said he felt a little guilty taking more than one ) I told him not to. Most would have taken all 3. One was a loaf of Hawaiian bread. I had forgotten how much I like that. Frozen food aisle wiped out and of course no paper products to be found. We have a fair amount stocked up from before.
Water company has said they will not disconnect anyone right now for not being able to pay their bill. I would hope the other utilities follow suit. A lot of casino workers are going to be off work.

LOL, I'm so sorry Huck, When I first saw your post, I thought it said in the back yard for poop. Well, I guess that's one way to conserve water.

Those with compromised immune systems, please, please stay safe. I know, I sound like a broken record.
My immune system is quite poor also. I am already sick BUT I do not think it is the virus. I have a sore throat and head congestion. But no cough or fever. I took what precautions I could when I went to the doctors too. Wiped everything down used hand sanitizer etc. Then had to go to the pharmacy and kept my distance from others best I could. Didn't matter, I still caught something.
( I should have just stayed in my car and gotten it at the drive through window, but they had a huge line of cars) I have been this way for years since having to go through a pretty nasty treatment to get rid of a virus in my body. Damn treatment hosed me, but I'm alive. So avoiding the public is nothing new to me. I seldom leave my home. Dave does all the shopping etc as he doesn't want me getting sick.
Funny how I always just accepted it, but now that it's more serious, it bugs me! I would LOVE to go out to dinner or something or somewhere!! Poo..........Good thing I have an online game I play and of course the testing I do with SC. That helps quite a bit.
Sorry, I'm rambling. I know.

That's the scary part
I'll have to make you a stick chicken to send with your owl.
Checking from NC. No mandatory shutdowns here yet. Still working. Power company won't shut off for the month of March Thank goodness. Grocery store yesterday no beef except expensive steaks. We don't eat steak so she left them. Kids are getting wild from no school. Half mile off the main road so they're outside playing as much as possible. Stocked locked and ready to rock. Be safe everyone.
