So true and I remember when if I was sick back in the day, I was told to stay home and don’t go out and infect other people, back to good old common sense.

No doubt. They didn’t sugarcoat things back then nor did they freak out over things as much as they appear to do these days. (Sigh)

It’s a completely different world. Not better, not worse. We can only live today and need to do what’s best to get everyone through this.

I’d love to see the hoarding stop. It seems common sense that people should simply have a few back up supplies of certain essentials to gradually buy throughout the year to prepare for such a problem, it’s not rocket science.

Interestingly I see people from rural areas who do just that, but people in urban areas tend to just buy as they need, probably because of lack of storage space at home.

But hoarding and price gouging? You really have to be a self serving, heinous little turd to do something like that.

Also, I find it surprising to see that junk and processed food aisles are completely bare but fresh produce can be had in abundance: this is the time when people need to strengthen their immune system, not weaken it with toxic processed garbage, but what do I know?

So the Evilguppy pack is home on a month long pyjama party, guzzling hot fluids and eating oranges, and watching un unbelievable number of movies and tv shows.

... OK, OK, I’M LYING BY OMISSION:
... I did order the new iPad Pro 11”. With the AirPods. With a new Pencil. And a cover.

Because if you think Apple will help you save money by shutting down their online store, ha!

So in truth my iPad pro 2018 12.9” still works quite well but my man needs a new iPad and he doesn’t want a new one so I’m getting the new one and he’s getting my old one.
And I really desperately need to upgrade my iPhone X.

But for now I’m getting drooled on by 85 lbs of love.

Though I am thinking of teaching her a few tricks based on social distancing

Restocking the milk refrigerator at out local food pantry has become a challenge, which I have eluded to in another thread. Most stores have put a limit on essential items, including milk, because of hoarders.
