The Virus has Come to Town.

@mrki444 I'm not sure if restaurants are letting people inside to eat. People have picked up at the window for weeks. I haven't noticed because I wouldn't want to eat inside a restaurant at this time.

Most of our bars and restaurants are closed although many serve takeout and some are opening back up.

@RubyHawk It should start work in Monday.

@RubyHawk We do go in the store for groceries. Carefully, infrequently, and only one of us.

@paigea I have also been going inside lately but I wear my mask and gloves and keep my distance. I try not to take any chances.I go alone too.

So do I, It's been that long since we've seen anyone. It's best to stay apart during this time.We're lucky we can order our groceries and have them brought to our car.

@RubyHawk I go out once a week with mask and gloves grocery shopping, but we do not go out and do not have have visitors, it is still too dangerous.

We must be very careful too. For awhile I ordered groceries online and went to the grocer to pick them up, Now I;m beginning to go myself wearing mask and gloves and keeping a safe distance. We don't go out to meet people and we have no visitors. Hopefully it won't be this way always..

@LadyDuck We don't have visitors either. We're all better off staying in and away from people for the time being. I doubt anything will change anytime soon but I hope I'm wrong.

@RubyHawk We have been trying to order groceries online as much as possible. We are cautious about having the shopper pick out meat or produce so we do that ourselves.

@simone10 We shopped online and picked them up at the store for awhile. But since I ventured into Aldis I've gone myself. Not many people are there and most everyone wears a mask. The store is marked to keep people separate. One person stays outside wiping down every buggie that goes in the store.

That's a good choice. I've ordered groceries online and drove to the store to pick them up but lately I have gone into the store wearing a mask and gloves and staying a good distance from anyone. we should all stay as safe as possible.

@RubyHawk hope you all stay safe and none of you get it

We are doing okay, none of our family have the virus yet. We're lucky with so much of the virus around us.

@Marilynda1225 I wish the same for you and your family.

@RubyHawk Zachary got sick, a couple weeks before the pandemic was considered a threat.

@kobesbuddy I think many people got the virus and didn't know what it was.to begin with and doctors didn't realize how serious it was so nothing was done until it got out of hand. It's really a bad situation but I'm so glad your grandson is okay now.

I'm glad your grandson is okay now. I think many cases aren't counted and we don't actually know the real numbers. I'm surprised that everyone doesn't wear a mask and try to keep farther away.

@RubyHawk I know how it is in your country being the top in terms of casualties. I am saddened to know that. We have a several thousand or more cases nationwide. Although its small compared to your country but we are a small country and those number are significant to us already.

@RubyHawk I have been seeing promising medicines around but I think none has yet passed testing for mass production for us to use

@rsa101 Yes, it's a sad thing to see so many people sicken and die in all the countries. I hope the vaccine will work and they have it ready to use soon.

@RubyHawk Sounds like you are in a difficult situation now ! Stay safe !

@changjiangzhibin89 As I see and read in the the newspapers you have been in the same situation. I wish all of you well. I'm afraid that we all have a long way to go.

That is good news. We've been in about six weeks or I've lost count. It seems a long time. Our hospitals are still full of the sick and not enough supplies. Doctors and nurses are working long hours and it's just a mess here. I've never seen anything like it.

Thanks @RubyHawk I've been out for groceries once since March 6 so I have enough to carry me through most of June. I might need an item or two but not much more than that if at all.

@rebelann Since I've been able to go to the grocery store, I pretty much stocked up. We could survive for a few weeks if we had to stay in again. It's good that you are well stocked.

Hi there, it's good to see you're still here. We came out a couple of weeks ago but I've only been out for groceries and not often. While we were on lock down I ordered groceries on line and if it's necessary I'll do it again. I always wear my mask and gloves when shopping. I'm as careful as possible. You stay safe.

@RubyHawk I'm sorry they're high and higher by the day.

Our numbers are high too, and higher every day.

@just4him So am I and it can only get worse with people going back to work, although I know everyone needs that pay check.

@RubyHawk The best way to stay safe from this virus.

@Deepizzaguy My thoughts exactly and I keep everything in the apartment Lysoled.

We've stayed home too, only going out to pick up groceries and take a ride in the car away from people. We can't go wrong by staying inside.

I'm sorry you still have to put up with that bully. We are so lucky. We have a lone woman in the apartment overhead and she's quiet. We're dodging people too. I only go out to a grocery store and wear a mask and gloves. I sometimes order groceries online and drive to the store to pick them up. I'm afraid it will be a long time before things go back to normal, if ever.

@Hannihar Yes, the Governor gave the go ahead to all stores that want to open but many stores are still closed. They were given rules to keep the stores sanitary and not let too many people in the store at one time. .I've only been into Aldi and they are following the rules as far as I can see. They have distances of 6 feet marked and we are supposed to keep that distance. My daughter in law went into Walmart and she said the store was crowded and many people were not wearing masks.

@RubyHawk Are things opening up in your area? Here they are starting to open things up and watching to make sure that that is the right move to do and then can open up more.

It's been that long or longer since we've seen anyone. We do talk on the phone though and keep up with family.

@nela13 Sounds good, I only have a cheapie cell phone and do most of my calling on the land line.

@RubyHawk we also contact each other through video calls, it is a great way to keep in touch.

It's really a different life than it was six months ago and we don't know when or if everything will ever be normal again. We can only hope and stay as safe as possible.

@amitkokiladitya I hear that even if the virus slows this summer it will get worse in the fall. We can't win for losing.

@RubyHawk yes..but now I wonder till when can you be safe

@RubyHawk I appreciate many of the stores are quite systemized now - thank goodness. I heard from our back neighbors that they loved our local Aldi's. Yah, we were wondering where you were. Glad to hear your husband is doing much better now - I hope you both continue to stay safe and well out there. Nice to see you back!

We did order groceries online and pick them up at the store but since they are getting more organized in the grocery stores I'm going in wearing my mask and gloves.They do a good job of keeping everyone separated at Aldi. My better half had cancer and was sick for a long time and recovering in a nursing home that I dropped everything for awhile. He's much better now and getting about.so I'm picking up some of my old habits.

@much2say Thank you, Leo was disabled for several weeks and I was too worn out to think about getting on line. He is much improved now and I'm not so depressed . I'm glad to finally be back.It's good to be communicating with all of you again.

@RubyHawk I'm sorry to hear that. Take care stay safe

You are so lucky. We have dozens sick in our county and thousands in our state. I don't believe the numbers are getting lower but we are opening up anyway. We stay in too, and only go out when we must and we wear masks and gloves. My better half doesn't go into the grocery store at all. He has too many health problems. Good luck to you, your family and everyone..

@averygirl72 The same to you. Our parks opened today so we'll check ours out tomorrow. If it looks safe I'll begin walking again, but if not I'll still do my exercise inside.

@RubyHawk that is so true.

@rakski it's better not to take chances. We might save lives by staying home.

Staying inside is our best resource, and if we must go out wear a mask and gloves. I wipe everything with Lysol and clean the door knobs every time we go out and in. I've washed my hands so much they are chapped. But we want to be as safe as possible.

@RubyHawk yikes stay safe!

It's good to see you too, everything has changed here. grocery store shelves emptied and many shops closed. The governor gave permission for more stores to open up last week but many are still closed and people aren't as careful as they should b e.

@Courtlynn You too, Wear your mask outside.

I can understand that. I'm retired but it scares me for everyone who has to get back to work. JUst be careful as possible and wear a mask and gloves.My granddaughter has worked through the whole time and I worry for her but so far she's okay.

@RubyHawk Thank you for understanding. And I'm glad she's doing okay.

@yoalldudes I still worry about her but so far so good.I hope you will be okay.

We opened up last week also, although not everyone did. We still have many stores and businesses closed. We get out in the car often but we don't get out unless I run into a grocery store. Our county parks will open on Monday and I'll be glad to get outside and walk again. Now I run around the apartment swing my weights and roll on my exercise ball for exercise.

@CarolDM I hope our parks don't decide it's still too early. I'm really ready to walk in the woods on my old trail..

@RubyHawk I visit the park here when I can and walk around the neighborhood when the weather allows.
