Panic buying has set in here in rural north Nottinghamshire, even though covid-19 hasn't and schools are still open. I already had a stash due to my Brexit fears so haven't been to a shop in a week, but rather dreading tomorrow as we're starting to need some fresh stuff and nappies (diapers). It's not so much finding stuff, we'll manage, it's more dealing with PEOPLE!1

I went to Walmart at 6 am. I was able to get everything on my list except chicken breast. Had to settle for thighs. The store was VERY picked over.

It's as if they think kids arw aren't carriers. Although I get that it's hard to tell working parents of elementary age kids that you have to stay home with them for two weeks.0 -

I buy in bulk...
I don't have room to keep a ton of paper goods in my house. And that's okay with me.0 -

God bless you, Spam. People are getting awful, at least on this side of the pond.0 -
We are now limiting entry points at our hospitals so that all visitors can be screened for symptoms. No visitors under 18 will be allowed and only one visitor will be allowed per patient.
And as I was typing this, I got the call that my kid is going to be out of school until Match 30.2 -
A vent...
My dad is in ICU with flu and pneumonia worsened by significant emphysema. Has been there since the 11th. This hospital is 1:30 from my house. My mother is a total hypochondriac. My aunt and I had a bet as to how long it would be before she was in the ER. We missed our bet by 16 hours. She was on her way with chest pains then burped really big x3 and her chest pains miraculously ended immediately. Go figure. I can’t even make this stuff up.
This on top of the corona madness has about done me in.
Also - I picked March to quit drinking. Been dry for going on 15 days.
Ugh!!! Thanks for listening.
But.... here are a couple adorable baby pics. Silver lining, right???🥰🥰🥰🥰

He's adorable. I'm checking in safe from the corona mania. Lucy for me, I tend to over order from Amazon, so when the deliver time came for stuff that is sold out, I have plenty on hand. About two weeks before all this stuff happened, my daughter had a fever of 103 and was pretty punky for about a week. Can't really remember if she had a cough with it, but she tested negative for strep, flu and mono. Who knows?0

Adorable baby is better than a sliver lining.

That happened here in late December/early January. Our nurses and lab techs thought we had a bad lot of flu tests. Maybe not?1 -
Oh my gosh, @Beka3695!!! Freaking adorable!
Payton's out of school until the 30th, too. My grocery order Saturday, they were out of chicken, potatoes, rice, beans, peanut butter... We'll be having some interesting meals, but we won't starve. Thank goodness for venison.5 -
We got nappies!!6

Officially "telecommuting" starting today. We'll see how it goes. Too much access to food, I'm not excited about that part.5

I hope everyone is keeping safe.1

Thankfully I've never seen it quite that crazy up north @Lois_1988 however basics are getting hard to come by. Luck of the draw when you get to the supermarket. My online shop (which I booked three weeks ago) is due tonight. I don't reckon I'm going to get everything I asked for. 😬1

I feel ya on that. I think I have been stress eating, due to the unknown here. I think Things will start normalizing somewhat. I am still going in to work each day. Daycare is still open for now, so things seem to be good. Every one is healthy.1 -
My mom FINALLY understands how important it is to stay home... or at least she seems to.
I am working from home MWF and solo in my office Tu and TH. I am liking this arrangement so far.
I took my dad for a follow up at his pulmonologist yesterday. This doc said he felt like we had just started the first quarter of this game. This does scare me a bit. I am a numbers nerd and have watched the numbers go up daily and in rapid fashion. Just wondering what the next couple weeks will look like.1 -
I was meant to be working from home today while looking after a two year old and four year old. We had a power cut from 9am-4pm so we spent the rather sunny day playing in the garden instead. I've got a lot of hours to somehow make up but I regret NOTHING!4

Don't talk to me about milk. Milk may be the end of me!2 -
My local government enacted a lockdown. State still has not.
Everyone sane today??0 -

Sane? I am not sure what that word means.
Last Wednesday we had 1 case in my health system's service area. This week we have 20. Most of them are people who traveled somewhere else and people who live with them.
Actually, I trust our disaster plan (One of our 21 hospitals is empty in case we need it as an isolation facility and we are doing everything we can to limit admissions in all of them. We have done a handful of life-saving surgeries, but nothing even remotely elective.) and I think we implemented closing things down locally in time, but we have some fools who traveled for spring break last week and I am afraid that they may have brought back more of it.
They are trying to get as many non-clinical staff as possible working from home, but they can't move us all because of HIPAA, so we will see how that goes for me. I am definitely not in the first wave of work from home, even though my remote logins and all that works.
In other news, the rear brakes on our Honda died yesterday and today my car had a flat. That on a normal day would be insane.2 -
First day working from home with hubby home. Twenty-six minutes into it, and I'm already irritated at him. I had a little routine going, and he's throwing it off!2

I worked with mine yesterday... we did ok. BUT today - thank GOD I'm reporting on an alternating schedule!!! He woke up at 4 AM snipping!
I'm dreading tomorrow!1 -
Yikes. We have a stay home work safe madate here, not quite on lockdown yet. Had a brush yesterday, had to help with a patient that we thought was for pneumonia, but later was being tested for Covid-19. Haven't been sent home to quarantine because we don't know if the patient is positive yet.4
-
Yikes, stay safe! @crosbylee
Hubby still has to work as a first responder. I fully expect we'll be exposed at some point. It's not if, it's when, in our house.3 -
Same here. I am just grateful at this point that I am not losing hours at work.2
-
I'm getting paid to work from home. So thankful we aren't being impacted financially. So many people can't say the same.0
