In Fort Lauderdale, Stay home or face arrest Mayor orders is the latest headline. There have been so many rules and orders issued it is almost hard to keep up with or follow them but basically it is staying home--period! Something I am concerned about is that we have 300 senior citizens here and the people who own the community have done nothing about getting all tested BEFORE one gets it and spreads through all the people which is not inconceivable as the first hard hit with 6 deaths is an assisted living facility. They have also done nothing about checking on residents making sure they are okay and, at least, have enough food. Previously Gateway was owned by a church group who were concerned about everything and everyone while this is a profit-making organization and is only interested in the bottom line. It is understandable but at the same time not comforting. We are helping each other but don't have the resources, the money and many, not the transportation, let alone elastic gloves, cleaning supplies or sanitizer. Talking about gloves I don't understand their benefit when you see people in the supermarkets using them for the handles on carts and then touch produce, can goods, meat packages, etc. Oh yes, and touching their faces which I think people are at least becoming aware of how often we do that without realizing it! So we are not only spreading germs to others but possibly to ourselves thinking we are doing do good wearing gloves! And I won't even get into washing hands!! (to be continued--possibly even with a laugh!)
