Good morning folks
@Smigo I'm sorry to hear about your cousin, and hope you've had some better news by now.
@Amber Petti same with your aunt, hun, hope she will be ok.
Nothing different with us, we're just here in the house, listening to it rain outside, and trying to work on the spreadsheet-from-hell.
Had to order more TP for my oldest daughter the other day, she still can't find any locally. We're stocked up here, now the new shortage, like everyone has been saying, is going to be meat products. I'm glad I've stocked up to the extent I have over the past month or so.
The last few Walmart orders I placed, I ordered a bit extra of ground beef, pork roasts, chicken thighs, sausages, and some cooked canned chicken and Spam. Had also stocked up on rice and rice mixes, which make a good one-dish meal using very little meat with a side of Steamfresh veg. Having been economically challenged for most of my life up until the last 15 years or so, I learned to feed my family on a very tight budget, and I guess that knowledge is about to come in handy once again. Also have some dried beans and peas to fall back on. Would suggest to anyone who hasn't already, build up a little bit of a stash of non-perishable meat and meat-substitute protein products. Just don't go crazy - everybody needs the same things.
Virginia has stepped up testing and last I heard was up over 15,000 cases now. Deaths are at about 400. Governor announced yesterday that he will allow his order prohibiting non-emergency medical and dental procedures to expire at midnight tonight. The rest of the COVID-related orders still stand. Within the next few days reporting will be available from the Gov's office as to cases in Virginia by zip code. I am interested in seeing that.
Hope all of you continue to stay in as much as possible, stay safe and stay well. We are well and truly in the shit now, and we have to keep doing the right thing for a while longer.
@~Don~ good for Governor Newsom. People act a fool, don't know how to behave, then the grownups have to do de smackdown. That's as it should be, at least during this particular time.
