I wonder what the underlying health problems are -- high blood pressure, diabetes, MS?? What are the types of underlying health problems??

Thanks again to everyone sharing all the news and updates. The information is so important and the local reports are very helpful.

The shortages of things has taken its time to hit certain areas across the country. We saw it coming but until the shortages finally hits your local area, it was hard for a lot of folks to really believe the stores could start running out of things. We saw it first with masks and disposable gloves and disenfectant wipe shortages . I for one did not even think about shortages of other items until we started to see reports of that, and even then, it had not yet hit my local area so it was hard to even believe it could happen.

The shortages are so widespread now on many different items that it has woken up a lot of people, and with all the closures now of restaurants and businesses, more people are staying home more and using more home food and home supplies, so it has increased the demand on home supplies. A sort of chain reaction that I am not sure even the officials thought about as they ordered the closures

The good news is I have seen lots of reports about suppliers are making strong attempts to increase supplies and the stores are doing all they can to beef up their supply chains and trying to restock as they can.

I am keeping the hope that things will improve over time and we all just need to do our best to get through these trying times, and to take whatever measures one feels is best for their family to prevent catching this awful virus.

In my area, there was panic buying on Friday after WHO used the P word and California Governor Newsom shut down the bars, put limits on restaurants, and told 65 + year olds to go for social isolation.

Then a huge snowstorm hit, closing the mountain passes and stopping all the grocery and supply trucks. Shelves at Trader Joes were unbelieveably bare.

Snowed heavily again last night & we are still waiting on the big trucks to get over I-80 to restock the stores. Until then...

I didn’t sleep well at all last night. I’m sure it’s a common struggle right now.

I just want to thank all of you for the support shared, and the foresight WAY at the beginning of this mess that helped me to prepare by getting food, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc stocked up several weeks ago.

Being out at the store yesterday drove home how grateful I am that I DO have paper goods and other things stashed in a corner of my garage.

Who knew a crime site I joined years ago to follow the Morgan Harrington case would end up so important during a time like this!

I have eaten all my ice cream, no more coffee creamer , no more wine , no more potato chips,

I splurged and bought ice cream - thinking of it as a "scoop of happiness" if things became seriously desperate. I ate it all within 2 days.

 

[What if...]

Praying for her and for all of your family now.

Thank you! My prayers to you and your family as well. Best wishes for a rapid recovery - no matter what it is you have.

 

[Kensie]

Thanks Zeacats. I remember you posting the underlying health problems but I have slept since then and had forgotten.

I have put in a stock of freeze-dried ice cream.

Georgia’s first senior care coronavirus cases reported

Happened at "The Retreat in Canton".............right where one of the first cases was found in a Waffle House employee. At the time I was thinking of all the retirees at Lake Arrowhead and Big Canoe, yet at that time senior care facilities weren't at top of mind. SMDH

St Patrick’s Day in Dublin: ‘We didn’t think it would be as bad as this’
Ireland’s capital has never seen a St Patrick’s Day shutdown like it
[...]
Many groups of tourists were wandering around like motherless foals scarcely believing that things had got so bad that even the Irish were shutting the pubs on St Patrick’s Day of all days.
