My husband wears a mask and gloves when out and about. Nothing wrong in trying to remain virus free.
I'm in Talladega County and we have 8 cases so far with only 1 hospitalized in our local facility.
On Wednesday, I will have to travel to UAB's cancer center in Alex City to receive some lovely shots. There will be someone outside checking temps and passing out masks. Only those receiving treatments infusions/ radiation are allowed inside and we were told some time ago to self isolate. It is truly a scary situation.

At least 16 people were killed after tornadoes began ripping through the South on Easter, destroying homes and storefronts and leaving over 1 million people without power from an intense storm system now headed towards the Mid-Atlantic.

Tornadoes and severe weather hit Central Texas early Sunday, bringing “gigantic” hail and damage, and then travelled east through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

In Mississippi, the state's emergency management agency said 11 people died in at least three different counties near the Louisiana border — Walthall, Lawrence and Jefferson Davis — from the weather.

Five more lost their lives in Murray County, Georgia, the fire chief Dewayne Bain told NBC News on Monday morning. The rural county, an hour outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, was hit hard, and four of the five who died were found in a local trailer park. The other fatality was brought to the emergency room before succumbing to injuries, and five more people were injured, Bain said. In Chattanooga, police deployed at least 26 teams of four to six officers to check on residents who requested emergency assistance after the storm.

The governors of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama each declared states of emergency to help recover from the damage caused by the storms.

according to the National Weather Service in tornado-prone Alabama, "the decision to seek shelter in a community storm shelter is certainly made more difficult by the consideration for COVID-19, and each individual will need to make an educated decision on where and when to shelter from a tornado."

"At this time, the Alabama Department of Public Health is recommending that your first priority should be to protect yourself from a potential tornado," the weather service said. "If a warning is issued for your area, you are more likely to be affected by the tornado than the virus."

According to AccuWeather, despite the upheaval in Americans' lives because of the coronavirus pandemic, one thing that hasn’t changed in the U.S. is that with the return of spring comes a spike in severe weather, and in turn, an increase in tornadoes.

This is a positive sign of hope for our children. Our future. moo

“At the forefront of this budget is the $30 million spent on early grade child reading which will become an educational foundation for students across the state,” said Sen. Orr. “This year, despite all the turmoil and chaos, we are on track to have the largest budget ever passed for education in this state, while also spending an amount far less than initial projections.”

The 2021 ETF budget increases the money budgets for the Community College System $12 million, several million for the Department of Early Childhood Education, $50 million for the State Department of Education, and $16 million directly to be distributed to the local school districts.
