I know you probably already started researching but had to share! I have had a stuffy nose for a month now but all else is fine so am not worried. Also, I noticed these days when I clean and sweep which activates dust, I will sneeze a lot now unlike when I was younger.
Added to that is living in a closed atmosphere now rather than with windows opened or fans going. I get congested & hoarse & runny nose about every other day - blame it on my "allergies".
Every time my husband coughs or sneezes I tense up. Every time I go into the grocery store I find myself holding my breath for as long as possible after passing another customer. It’s lurking around us, and the unmitigated evil of all these antics about overturning the election are like an endless display of fireworks that fizzle but occasionally cause pain to an innocent person. I just want to stand on top of the highest building and shout at those below me ‘Just stop this! Get over yourselves! Five people you know will die in the next year. Just settle down and knock this off!’
At the beginning of the pandemic, I was so absorbed with the political circus that I didn't mind staying at home, doing only necessary errands. However, with the election over and real catastrophe having been avoided (I understand that the pandemic, alone, is a catastrophe), I was elated for only a short time. Now I'm worried and distracted, and think that the combination of political and global health disasters are causing most of us severe angst. It's a difficult time, and hope of better days is all we can lean on for the present. To quote a famous Democrat, "I feel your pain." There are more of us than them, and we're stronger.
Cynthia, can you have groceries delivered or can you order them online and have them put into your car's trunk in the store's parking lot? That's what I've been doing since mid-March.
I will have to start doing that... There is a small grocery store about 45 minutes from here...they are exemplary with their operation...Limited number of people inside...everyone in masks, every cart is really cleaned thoroughly..no bags are to be brought in, the manager is outside of the store most of the time (or another employee) with masks and antibacterial wipes and liquids to give everyone a good clean ups before they enter! Whole Foods which is about that far away too..I almost feel that the virus is pumped in through the ventilation system..it just doesn't feel right...we can't get things delivered but believe me, anything I can order from Amazon is filling up my shelfs!
Awwww... thank you, Lynell. That’s very kind of you to post that for me. Not panicking, really, but it certainly runs through ones mind.

That’s why I avoid those tasks.
👏🏼👏🏼😆😆
LOL!

It’s time to get busy fighting the real fight!

I"m back to Instacart. Even the grocery store seems too risky.
