Amazon has Platinum brand for about $5 for 3 packages. If you can wait until April 19. I guess lots of people are planning to make their own bread.

I'll make cake and pretend it is bread.

Yes you must! Slather it with icing too

Just curious........ I haven't heard "lines at banks" too much so far.. Is this to get some cash in the pockets, or is this that "Western distrust of Government" thing?? Ignorant East coaster asking...

I don't know. Maybe it is older folks, who are paying people cash for errands. Or?

My dad paid cash for everything. It would drive me crazy, he would reach for his wallet and 100 dollar bills would fall all over the place. RIP my loving Dad.

I think I'll just expatriate a two-hour drive south where life is much safer these days..... Mexico.

Haha Yes, I have often thought about expatriating (is that a word)

Expatriating is a word.

NASHVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The 2020 spring turkey hunting season is set to be open for business in Tennessee beginning Saturday, April 4. Turkey hunting is an excellent way to keep social distance, enjoy the outdoors, and take part in a popular activity which has seen tremendous growth in recent years.

Can you stay out of the public now, or must you venture out?

He needs to put out bids and/or beg corporations in his state to help, as other states are being outbid by each other. Too bad we do not have federal oversight, besides, the government believes the governors are lying about their figures/needs.

IMO It's shameful that state Governors are having to wheel and deal to get supplies. It seems to me that distribution of critical supplies should be based on population. California has 93,512,223 people vs Wyoming's 578,759. We ALL need ventilators but clearly the need is different state to state.

Dying from pneumonia is drowning on your own fluids. You’re gasping for breath and unable to breathe as your organs shut down. It’s probably one of the most painful and horrific ways to die.

Which is why my husband has a DNR paper, with every option written out. If he gets to that point, we are calling a palliative care nurse. I already spoke with her, last week. She will come to our home, no test needed, no doctor appointment. She will do an assessment, and request an order for morphine, so he won't struggle to breathe.

It is an option more people should discuss.

Are you sure Mexico is much safer??? The policemen carrying huge guns scared me. I do like Mexico but the huge guns scared me.

2 Muskegon Co. COVID-19 deaths among 92 in state

As of Friday afternoon, the state had run a total of 13,769 tests, 10,524 of which came back negative and 3,136 of which came back positive. The number of positive tests does not necessarily align with the number of confirmed patients in Michigan because some people may have had more than one test or their test was run by an out-of-state lab.

Health officials have noted that the number of test kits available is limited. Not everyone displaying symptoms is going to get tested. Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, Michigan’s chief medical executive, said as recently as Monday that not enough testing has been done to get a clear scope of the spread of the illness.

I had a couple hours in the saddle. I urge all of you to get outside for a walk, or your preference, if you can. The sunshine & fresh air do amazing good things for anxiety, I think. I wish I could keep on riding and just leave. But where would/could I go?

You betcha! Even a short walk can tamp down the stress level IMO.

It's overcast today here in my town but I went to the local park for a little while just to get out. Again, people are walking and playing with their dogs and keeping a safe distance from others. On my way home I saw a group of 4 people chatting on a side street - they were about 10 feet apart but seemed to be having a good time anyway.

I think I am going to back off watching the number of cases. I already have depression issues and I feel like I am sinking back into the black hole.

Today, I did not take my pups for their daily walk, swimming in the creek and car ride because the black hole was pulling me in. It was a gorgeous day , 80 degrees and Sunny.

So the companies who make the ventilators are holding out on sales until the bids get high enough.

That sounds like price gouging which is illegal. JMO

@mickey2942 is your husband at risk of exposure, or does he mainly stay in?

Our parks are closing like cray due to lack of social distancing. Glad yours remain open.
