    This is a great time to pick up insecure women. Stuck at home, they are bloated, lonely, have lost their tan and have hair growing out of everywhere. >:)

    Lucky... you 😁

    My heart goes out to each and every direct care provider, that doesn’t have proper PPE still providing care. I will say, after using the SAME disposable “standard mask”, inserted into a fabric mask for EVERY patients room, I could no longer place myself at risk. I couldn’t allow myself, to continue to take my inserted mask out, at the end of shift and placing it into a paper bag that hung up in our employee lounge. I couldn’t continue to wear that same mask, that before this pandemic would be thrown away MULTIPLE times, throughout a shift and especially changed after entering an isolation room.

    I have a child with an autoimmune disorder and a special needs son. I have a diabetic mother that I live with and elderly parents that no longer wanted to provide childcare.

    Why do you think, 24 residents with 3 employees at a Tucson nursing facility tested positive?! Every facility is on lockdown, only patients out are patients on dialysis. There are NO visitors. “WE” those giving direct care, are being used as Guinea pigs on how to stretch out supplies that wouldn’t even protect from COVID-19.

    I can’t protect you and neither can healthcare, if they’re not properly supplied.

    :heart: to you
    I wish you and your family good health
    Kudos to you for having stuck it out in such a situation as long as you did - take care💕

    This is a problem, nevermind TP hoarding...front line workers need to feel "safe", to be able to care for us.

    I'm in a veterinary field, we are open to business and down to 1 box of surgical masks we are re-using...
    I don't mean any comparison to human health care workers - but I sympathize with the lack of proper hygienic equipment.

    This also was a post shared from a Facebook friend, last night

    People need to be aware of the true crisis 😢 it’s a shame, as healthcare people feel silenced and forced to go to work. When I placed my resignation, I was threatened to be blacklisted if I didn’t carry out 2wks noticed, I was threatened with having my license reported.

    Thats *kitten*
    Here (Ontario, Canada) we are encouraged that if we feel "un safe" in our work environment (any job), to stay home - with no repercussions (ya right) but anyway...nice sentiment.

    The numbers being reported are days late, people need to realize too - I was talking to a human health pathologist the other day and the #'s reported are 4 days ago due to the lag in processing...

    You take care lady...peace and good health to you, and yours

    Me too. I'm not sure what you hate in particular, but I hate it for you. It could be nuts, it could be the weather or a situation...it could be a personal struggle or just the way the blanket is draping over you, or that your coffee is just too cold right now. Whatever it is, I'm feeling it for you.

    Edit - NVM, you don't care about my grammar mistakes

    I still have a dry cough and TBH, it's sorta freaking me out. Could be "the thing", could be allergies, how the *kitten* am I supposed to know?

    @KosmosKitten

    Are you running a fever ?

    I've been sneezing too; the pollen count is wicked high.
    Let's hope it's the same for you.

    Thankfully, no. I keep checking when I feel off, but so far, good to go.

    I was HOPING allergies would be done since I just went through a nasty bout a couple of weeks before everyone got put on lockdown (and it was definitely allergies with all the sneezing and not being able to breathe out of my nose and my nose constantly draining). Yuck. <3

    I had no issues with going until last Saturday I had to pick some things up - I kinda felt like was in a video game trying to dodge ppl - it’s a weird feeling as I usually don’t get paranoid about things. Strange times indeed

    I read this morning that WalMart employees will now be checking shopper's temps before they're allowed in. Unsure if that's local or everywhere? I've also heard there are 6' barriers we're supposed to keep around each other & some stores have enforced only letting a certain # into the store at a time.

    I'm confused how I do that in the market? My local markets have narrower than 6' aisles, so does that mean we all go in 1 direction, staying 6' behind the person in front of us & don't pass? I live in an area of mostly very, very, very old retirees, who take ages to walk down an aisle. As a kamikaze, don't-like-to-shop shopper who runs in to grab 4-5 things & leave, I normally sprint down an aisle like a pinball, weaving in & out of carts to reach the end. If I waited for the old folks to move in order, it would take me hours to just grab a few things.

    If someone's lingering too long in front of the potatoes, do I have to stand 6' behind them & glare 'til they move, lol? I just want some fresh produce & meat... I don't need to take a pass through the whole store... in & out. I'm unsure of the current Emily Post's Book of Lockdown Social Graces.

    Life is never the same.

    It constantly changes & that's okay.

    Will we recover from this? Absolutely.
    It might take a little while for the daily grind to return to normal & the economy will recover too.

    Like all thing, both good & bad: This Too Shall Pass


    Hang in there.

    I found this inspiring - and this inspired da hell outta of it

    “It feels unnatural to not be in motion, for the city built on four wheels(Detroit) to stand still.
    But these vacant streets, empty stadiums are not signs of our retreat, but of our resolve.
    This is not us sitting out the fight. This is us winning it.
    Our fist doesn’t need to move to have strength. If he were alive today, even Henry himself would have put it in park. So take this isolation as a sign of our togetherness as we take care of ourselves and the ones close.
    Because although it’s time for America’s motor to stop, we are coming back with all 8 cylinders.
    Because here, we don't stop in the name of fear. Here, we stop in the name of love.”

    I believe those who lose loved ones during this time, their lives change as this time is going to be a bitter memory. For those who are working through it such as healthcare workers, it may be like a soldier remembering back on war, a time where their job seemed impossible, and lives including their own, many times hung in the balance. For most others its scary, but its just a moment in time. There will be a time in the not so distant future where most are gonna sit back and say, what the hell just happened?!. And a few years later it will be like remember back in 2020 when that virus made us sit home for a month.....wow that was crazy. Life will go on, as it always does, it may be redundant, but basically its not comfortable to be uncomfortable. A couple of weeks, a couple of months of life outside the norm, it drives people crazy. This time next year i have a feeling the memory of it wont be terrible to most.

    You made me feel better, thanks. 😊

    Ours have taped out 6' spaces so you know. It's... interesting, but keeps everyone apart while they shop. They also (keep in mind this is on base), aren't allowing people to shop in groups anymore. Will sometimes make a concession for a parent with kids, but not a whole family and not a whole group of students.
