(((((Teppy))))) (And your friend, and his wife--what a day. What is wrong with this year?)
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Teppy, tons of ~ma for your friend and his wife. I'm so sorry.

Yikes. All this is making me v worried about what I will eat when I get home from this vacation!! I have some food but ate a bunch of it down since I'd be out of town.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
meara, I think it will be fine. when you get home, I'd look first at any small or locally owned grocery. Corner stores and even places like drug stores that have some food seem to be less wiped out. Also, getting take-out from places is not a bad idea for a while.

People on Twitter are also mentioning that their local Asian markets seem to have plenty of food left on the shelf because people are being racist about going there.

~ma to your friends, Tep. Horrible news.
For PiDay I went to a friend's house. We were 8, there was lots of pie, no hugs and we kept at least a meter from one another at all times, and with the plague outside I feel like it's the wildest thing I've done or will be doing in a while.
Another wild thing - I was given permission to take boxes from the archives to appraise, weed out, and process at home from one of the not-important-collections. It means that the boxes will have to go through disinfection again once they're back, but still. Taking archival material out of the archives... it's a big thing.

Our wings are not tired.
My local Publix just emailed that starting today they will close at 8 PM daily. To allow extra time to disinfect the store daily.
People on Twitter are also mentioning that their local Asian markets seem to have plenty of food left on the shelf because people are being racist about going there.
That is a good idea. I had already been thinking of going to the usually very well stocked Italian market just because it seemed less likely they would be hit like the chains. Hoping my favorite Indian grocery still has the yummy frozen meals. Of course really I will send my son or husband because I have zero desire to go shopping on a normal day.
Mostly I assume that the hoarders are all out this week and in a couple weeks it should be less insane for shopping.

Also separate post to send ~ma to Teppy's friends. That is just awful. May he have a swift and complete recovery.
