Someone asked why there is no flour on the shelves.
I am guessing there will be lots of cookies baking with all the kids at home.
And just in case there is no bread to be found.

Hey Kim,
Got any spare masks, ventilators or TP just lying around?
Asking for a friend.

At our restaurant, we're down to 2 people working on the front lines. My beloved husband and our amazing chef of 12 years.
We are feeling the LOVE!
Our customers are backing us big time.
They are ordering "To Go dishes".
As in $200. Orders at a time.
I've had so many emails and phone calls telling us how much they support us and do not, want to see us go out of business.
It's very heartening.
We are a Mom and Pop business, with employees that have been with us for well over a decade.
We are located in San Diego- in the country.
Agricultural area with a lot of retirees and farm workers.

Orange County, CA (my county) is now on lockdown.

Does it bother you Gitana, that all the news seems focused on LA County, with the Mayor doing daily briefing. Meanwhile, no one from OC is informing us by way of briefings. Who the heck is in charge of OC? The Supervisors? Or is it each city is on their own?

Also half the 35 year old women in this country discovered sourdough baking this year (myself included)

So disgusting. These pompous lying dictators.
Hopefully, world leaders will take note, for all future transactions with these lying .
Lord knows, here on websleuths, we have been introduced to many lying .
We are not fooled. We've seen it all.
Absolute evil- lying people exist.
This dictator is one of them.

I don't believe it for one second.

Families may have to say goodbye to their dying loved ones over Skype as NHS bosses continue to look for ways to prevent the coronavirus spread.

Doctors have been told to restrict visitors in intensive care wards as best they can in new official guidance, which includes using "mobile devices and video calling" instead of seeing dying loved ones in person.

If the outbreak reaches the levels that are being predicted, clinicians will also have to stop "non-essential staff and any families or friends"entering clinical care areas.

Could work out. And possibly crime could be reduced by coughing on anyone attempting it.

Last post of the day but before I go up to bed I want to share a little human interest story as others here are doing a fine job keeping us up on the latest news.

As I mentioned earlier my friend in the health department had a bad day today. We have another friend who lost his wife last month to suicide. He's also having a bad day.

The two of them are getting together to talk and have a beer - via FaceTime. During this trying time when so many people are stuck alone I want to remind all of you that using technology can be a wonderful way to reduce the anxiety and help us to feel less alone. We need to stay connected to friends and family.

U.S. Virus Plan Anticipates 18-Month Pandemic and Widespread Shortages
The 100-page federal plan laid out a grim prognosis and outlined a response that would activate agencies across the government.

One Simple Idea That Explains Why the Economy Is in Great Danger

This really gives me anxiety. I don't even know how to begin to prepare for 18 months and "widespread shortages."
