Shopping and other thoughts

I believe Nancy started a post about shopping in these times. She didn't post it, so I thought I would put in a few words about it.
Fred went to Walmart today.Yes, he wore a mask. He hadn't been able  to find good yogurt for himself. He likes plain, high fat yogurt and we both hate Dannon. It's too sour. So, I asked him to see if he could find paper towels and Lysol or Clorox wipes too. He found yogurt, but absolutely no paper towels or wipes. He found a pair of hair scissors for me. I need to trim my own hair now. Salon not open.
I worry about my hair stylist. He really isn't rich and needs the income.
Fred managed to score a few rolls of toilet paper the other day. This hoarding is becoming a major problem everywhere. Our county still has no reported cases. Big sigh!
The New York Times has a really good map that shows state by state and county by county within each state cases and deaths. It is updated daily.
Kansas City cases have dropped a lot. St. Louis is still on the upswing. Our local hospital is ready and waiting with expectation. They have diagnosed one case who drove here from Springfield with the virus already raging in her. Tested her right away. Swabbed her throat while she was in the car and had her drive back to her mother's place here. She is recovering well. She is in her twenties.
Our friends are being super careful. Damn near all of us are qualified as "old". That is over 60.
I think that this hand washing is rapidly becoming a regular habit that may not go away ever. Just means I have to use moisturizer more. Hmmm. Wonder when people will start hoarding moisturizer.

  1. Interesting. I had started a post about shopping and decided to save it as a draft. I had no idea it would show the topic in the list. Live and learn. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

    I, too, am worried about our hair stylist. Her salon is closed for the duration and who knows how long that will be.
