Seriously? Why? Where else are we expected to get feed for farm animals? I mean I have some stocked up. But if this is going to last till summer I don't have enough.

Chewy.com to the rescue. I just checked for you and they do have feed for horses and other farm animals.

This is heartening, though I feel for all the responsible, caring, landlords (they definitely exist!)

Press briefings

Did I hear right that they said at that WH presser they'd be looking at tens of thousands of diagnoses a day in a week? Or was that test a day? Or positives in a week? I'm seriously behind on reading here and failing to catch up.

Can you ask on Social Media for a volunteer or paid helper to do your laundry?

It's more the mind chatter that is maddening. Thanks for the suggestion.

So now I have endless time. We have a indoor pool. I live in a condo. Would you go swimming? Lol. Cause you know the girl who uses pool like 2x a year now has a massive urge to use. Lol.

Chlorine or salt water? I'm no expert, but I know chlorine kills everything else, so I'd say safe to swim. Unless, of course there are a gazillion others in the pool too. JMO

Thanks! I didn't see goat feed on there but they definitely had chicken and duck feed. I will definitely be keeping this in mind.

5:33 pm... DAYUM! That's like when there was the Olympics. No one was on the interstates. It was surreal. So, Atlanta major industries that were around at that time are perhaps very familiar with telecommuting?

What was actually clarified by the reporters and commentators, Dr. Gupta, etc. is that they’ll be reassessed again in 15 days and most likely kept in place at that point. Then reassessed again at another point, and so forth... It was explained why many things are being broken down into manageable chunks.

Yes, you’re exactly right. I was typing quickly to avert the panic some were expressing. So thanks for fleshing it out.

Stop & Shop to Set Aside Hours for Older Shoppers Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

In an effort to protect older customers amid the coronavirus outbreak, Massachusetts-based Stop & Shop says it will set aside specific hours for shoppers 60 and up.

Beginning March 19, all Stop & Shop stores will be open early to allow those 60 and older to shop between 6 and 7:30 a.m., the Quincy-based grocery chain said.

The company said they made the decision based on the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control that call for social distancing.
