China is coming out of it, Europe is in deep, the US is just beginning to get real, and we have had virtually nothing yet. So interesting to observe. I will do my pre-panic shopping today, and might even swing by Costco, since I'll have the car. Some frozen berries for the daily smoothies at the top of the list.
Unfortunately, Mexico seems to be following in Orangie's wake, policy wise. It's still surreal from our vantage point.
Have you ever read 'On The Beach'? A good read for these times.

Just got a call this morning saying my hernia surgery scheduled for Friday is cancelled. BD is not real happy about that because the discomfort level has been increasing lately and a hernia has the potential of creating some very nasty complications, and who knows how long this pandemic will run. The way I see it the complications could alter my overall health to the point of making me very vulnerable to covid-19.
Not happy. Not happy at all.

Yup, but there's a difference between alarm and panic. Never really a good time for panic. Panic is something that you allow yourself for a very short period before getting your **** together and deciding what to do next.

Do not under any circumstances look at your retirement fund.

I like to be prepared, which limits panic. But I'm lucky because I have food, shelter, and money for Amazon Prime. When people start running out of those things, then there will be panic. Panic is contagious.

Sorry about the (lack of) surgery. That sucks.

Hmmmm. I just remembered that I can use google to check stores to see their current level of foot traffic. Google sez that Target isn't very busy right now, so I might go do some shopping. Of course, they might not be busy because the shelves are empty. Guess I'll find out.

I skipped the Comcast food court today and opted for some leftover pizza.

Just just do a search for the store and look at the results on the map. Click on the desired location and an info sidebar should pop out. if you scroll down it will show the typical level of busyness, by hour for the given day, and the current level of busyness, if available.
