Out of curiosity, is she asking owners not to visit so people don't spread the virus to each other or can humans infect animals? Are there any animals with CV?
It’s about human to human spread and it’s mandated by the state.
Eta: there is some sketchy info about covid-19 in dogs. Very unclear
The meeting I was in yesterday stated that at this point dogs, and other animals, don't appear to contract the virus. However, they may be carriers of it. Dogs have shown to have the virus in their noses, and if they sneeze, could spread it to humans. It was highly suggested that pet owners, dog owners in particular, do not allow their animals to wander or come in proximity to other people. The physical distance rules should apply to them as well.
ugh I have heard there has been an increase of people surrendering their dogs in fear of getting it form them. But, most likely, your dog got it from you so thats an extreme reaction to that news. please dont start dumping your pets people!
If that is actually happening, those people should be barred from ever again being owned by a pet.
Your dog cannot get Coronavirus
Not everyone is handling this in the most rational manner unfortunately.3 -
Prolonged spring break, and yet my social studies teacher still feels the need to catch us up. Got a class notification 6:00 in the morning and the first thing I thought was what do you do with your life? Come ON

Some abandoned if they had children or elderly family after the 1st case of a dog having Coronovirus in another country. The dog may have drank or ate after people (fed scraps) or left alone with a dead body too long we don’t know the circumstances of its infection.So far other animals have not caught it. 2nd case with dog coronavirus Hong Kong German Shepard May have also been in a bad circumstance like the first one.
The German shepherd once removed was placed in a shelter with other dogs none have it or the human staff workers. Seen this before when I worked in a shelter infection usually from licking waste from a deceased body it has to be an illness that can jump from human to animal only. Abandonment ng isn’t not necessary folks are panicking. Rest their owners are in the hospital with the virus or died from it. The folks who shouldn’t be allowed pets are the ones who abandoned left the property knowing they won’t return. Ones who thought they could return left food y water neighbor to care for but they got locked out of their city is different.

My worry is children in abusive situation will have a very bad time through this. Nursing homes to adult care centers who don’t care to wash patients or feed them will be discovered after like any disaster. Homeless food kitchens are closing from no food to city ordnance which leaves them with no food (many lost their jobs due to rising home costs to loss of jobs. Older folks to young without family may not have food or anyone to check on them through this if their sick unable to get to a phone ☎️ that will be bad for them.

I think you missed my point. If people are actually surrendering/abandoning their dogs, they should be barred from having dogs.
No, No. I got it. I was pointing out the fact about dog because very few people about it and their ignorance is causing them emotional stress.1 -

Nobody as saying it but I just wanted to write it up straight in case anyone had a doubt and was reading this forum.

It has affected my mood. I deal with depression and I honestly feel like I'm just waiting for my next depression episode. It's hard not being able to deal with the emotions when you have your kids there 24/7. Trying to be strong is hard when you feel less tban.10

Apparently, the South runs on chicken and toilet paper. Who knew?
What is in your stores? Were all fresh meat products gone? Any produce?
To answer this question:
Surprisingly, booze. Lots of booze. Also, some produce and a crap-ton of coffee and tea. That's about it. Oh, and fresh flowers.
I've yet to venture out to the stores, since I'm not in desperate need & with asthma, would rather just stay away until I have no choice but to go out for food. But, since market shelves are bare, I was curious if anyone has visited Dollar Stores, if they're even still open?
I rarely visit & then it's just for cleaners or windshield wash fluid for my car, but they always have 2-4 isles of processed, canned & packaged food. Since they carry food, I was wondering if they can be considered essential?
I took a long walk yesterday. All biz's were closed, but the Home Depot's parking lot was filled with cars & people driving in & out. Odder still, the carwash was still open, too & they had customers... one bank, too, at least the drive-thru. The supermarkets are miles down that road, on the highway, so I've yet to see what's going on there.
Oh, & how are pet owners faring? Is there plenty of dog/cat food at stores, from what you've seen?
The parking lot of the family dollar near me is always full. They have as much food as any family dollar I’ve ever seen, so you could probably do a weekly family shopping trip there, except for limited fresh fruit, vegetables and no fresh meat.

It hasn't really.
I'm a Corrections Officer, so I don't have the option to stay home. The gym is closed, which is a huge bummer.
It just perplexes me that we need to close the gym down, where most people are SUPER health conscious and its required to wipe equipment down before/after use, not to mention there's hardly large crowds there and we all respect each other's space.
But yet, grocery stores have people mulling about like cattle, 50-100+ at a time in the same place, passing within inches of one another. Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose? I mean, I get it... just feels like a wasted effort. Maybe I'm just mad I can't go to the gym. Who knows.
I've still been running and hiking outdoors with my dogs. I don't touch any man made surfaces and my larger male dog is SUPER reactive and unpredictable with strangers, so its a force of habit to keep a lot of space between others and us. 6 feet is even too close, usually I aim for 20+. We will step completely off the trail or into the road (I'm always attentive of cars) to avoid contact with people. That's nothing new.
Besides not being able to go to the gym and grocery shopping suddenly becoming a lot harder, my life has not changed much. I did cancel our gender reveal in mid April, though, which I am extremely sad about. Fingers crossed we won't have to cancel our baby shower, or I have no idea how we will be able to prepare for this baby. He/She is not due until the end of August, so I'm praying this blows over before then.
I also made the heartbreaking decision to not go visit my sisters and parents this last weekend because my husband and I have had cold symptoms but no fever. I'm so family oriented, and it aches me to be away from them, but my one sister has asthma and gets pneumonia nearly every year, my dad is about to turn 50, and my mom smokes.
I wasn't taking this seriously before but I'm beginning to understand. I still think that everyone is overreacting a bit, but I'm still being cautious.4 -
Been working from home and the newt has been out of school since 3/11. It’s impressive how much work I can do from my phone. I don’t expect to be back in the office until mid-to-late summer. We’re working out a schedule for mandatory staff vacations (staycations really) so that we don’t end up back in the office after this with a year’s worth of vacation to take. Events that I have organized for 15 years have all been canceled. All business travel canceled. I am losing it watching all the super parents posting their daily schedules of events and home schooling and activities. I am lucky to not start drinking at noon. It’s *kitten* terrifying. My state, NY, is the vanguard. This is going to get so very, very ugly. I hope you all are safe. Stay in. Stay home. Stay safe. Flatten the *kitten* curve.5

People hoarding groceries. The shelves at our local walmart & Ingles is empty. Can't find nothing at the store.2

I just found out my sons ex-girlfriend has fully recovered from COVID19 😊
It’s made me realize that I’m nowhere near where I thought I would be at 48.8 -
It’s making me fat & cranky.6

I did not venture out except to drop off mail I promised I would mail. Everything is eerily sparse, despite it being a base with a lot of folks training and going here and there. Got in, exchanged my mail and went back home. Spent the day putting together a 3500+ Perler bead set and immediately regretted my life. Spent another 3 or 4 hours fixing that *kitten* when it didn't melt together properly like it was supposed to.
I am not a proud person, but I am stubborn.
Mostly, I am getting increasingly concerned about the overall lack of adhering to orders. We arent' in a city with "shelter in place" yet, but people aren't listening to the warnings, despite being told to stop hoard buying, stop dallying around in shopping centers for the sake of going and to stop gathering in LARGE groups of people in public spaces. At the rate this is going, our city is going to end up just like New Orleans, under lockdown. We don't live that far away.
Getting increasingly concerned about my parents and my in-laws. Most of them are immunocompromised in one way or another, so not great.6 -
Just came down the pipeline that the base I dwell on has had its third case of positive Covid-19 and yet they are still allowing the trainees to go to classes, gallavanting around in groups larger than ten and in general aren't really alerting people to any of the places these individuals might have been frequenting. Since everyone on base all share the same basic amenities (NEX, Commissary, bank, PO, gym, gas station, etc.) and since there are a LOT of retired and immunocompromised family members floating around on this base, you'd think they'd be more proactive, but nope. Business as usual. Not surprised.5

I'll be 62 in 2 days, live with 2 cats and recently have been hit with crying spells as I read of the advance of this *kitten* virus.
I've been doing yoga, meditation and calling friends I havent spoken with in awhile.
I fear our world is going through a reset, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but is still so painful.
I pray for our world.9 -
Just curious if anyone is seeing the same food shortages at the large warehouse stores, like Costco? I could call Costco tomorrow to ask if they are open (didn't find that info online), but would they tell me if they have any meat/poultry/fish available?
I also have a couple of returns (clothing items) & was wondering if their customer service dept would be available, or if most stores are operating on a skeleton crew?
They're an hour away from me, so I was just wondering if others have gone to the larger bulk stores before I venture out.0 -

Glad to hear she's recovered.
Realizing things such as you stated is good for reflection. But, at the same time some people don't do so well with it while others will thrive.3
