My bad!
I misread the story. It is the State of Emergency that is extended through May 13, the Shelter in Place is through April 30.
Thanks for catching that!

Last night I went into work 5 minutes before the store closed to see a few coworkers and customers wearing face mask, maybe a 1/3. Other than me and the MIC and maybe a couple others, we are by our selves until about 10-11 when a few others trickle in and then the next people at mid night. Think I was the only one in the overnight shifts that actually wore a mask. My boss texted me a couple days ago that said she put some mask back for me, in a file only I use but I guess another worker saw because they were not there last night when I went in. I hoping to add another but whatever. Still getting wiped out on toilet paper and paper towels along with canned goods, freezer items, milk, butter and eggs. Only getting a 'selection' of meat products but the deli market as in prepackaged meats and cheeses look good. Our fresh area still has yet to get a truck in prepackaged and only fet a very limited number of deli fresh cut meat and cheeses. Those are sliced into a case now to limit interactions and not ordered.
This morning I came home to a greeting from a couple dogs and a couple of my goats. Doing some chores inside while listening to the morning news and then outside when daylight came to feed and start hoeing the garden. Seeds are poping up like crazy and apparently the rains that came at midnight thirty wasnt as bad as expected with hails. Everything still looked good and after I dumped the feed troughs it only lookied like we got a half inch rain since I feed yesterday at 5. I did eventually take a couple hours nap this afternoon. . . hunny said I needed one.
I was sitting on the back porch watching the sun go down. . . all the pretty baby blues and pinks. Had I not gone into work last night or turned on the news or internet today, I would never know the world was amiss.

Storms came through last 2 days with lots of wind and a few sprinkles. Only problem is that the temperatures are dropping with a freeze warning tonight. Most of the exposed crops are cool weather crops so hoping they will survive if not I will just replant. Husband continues to work on Chicken coop extension. Other than that everything is pretty quiet today. We have somewhat gotten into a routine I guess with this quarantine and settled in for the long haul. Since we are both retired and higher risk it is just smart even if they lift it to stay put. Stay safe

Sorry - I understand. I wasn't trying to pry, just confused why they would suddenly decide something is a controlled substance. I was mostly wondering if it might have anything to do with the current situation because I heard a story (don't know if it's true) that someone with lupus who had a hydroxychloroquine prescription was appparently denied access to her medications, supposedly because the drugs are being retasked to people with COVID-19.
The change happened at the beginning of the year. The prescription just now needed to be renewed.

Oh, okay. Still sucks though. Keep government out of healthcare.

We have a damn winter storm warning for tomorrow...! The wood supply was getting low, so I cut and split about 2 cords today. Even got the wifey and daughters in the act. Good day. Time for a couple beers and a bonfire and a great nights sleep!

I've started working on my artistic side from being housebound. I like photography and writing (I had my first book published), and I've had some of my pictures mounted on canvas. Below is a photo that I took of a sunset at Lake Tahoe during a recent trip to visit relatives in California:
It was beautiful in California, as everything looked like a postcard. Below is another photo of same sunset from a different perspective:
And above is the Golden Gate Bridge.
I plan on trying to sell some of my canvas-mounted photos at an outdoor art show once the pandemic eases up enough to allow people to gather again.

I'm sorry you're in the situation, but remember:
1) The vast majority of the people with this thing recover from it.
2) Take vitamins, drink lots of fluids, and engage in moderate exercise.
3) Understand that constant worry and anxiety does beat up your immune system, so try to avoid worrying about things that are already a done deal.
4) Try to rest as much as you can
5) Abstain from excessive alcohol, any tobacco, and recreational drugs (if that's your thing).
If you follow these suggestions, you will stack the odds much better in your favor.
Good luck.
P.S. I forgot to mention that if you do come down with it, it's very important to walk frequently when you're sick . . . even if you don't want to and you're running a high fever. Walking short distances frequently actually helps you recover, as walking and movement keeps fluid from building up in your lungs. The added circulation from walking helps with inflammation, and can help prevent heart failure.

#5 is not an issue I don't use any of them,,,,I nap when needed and I drink plenty of my favorite drink,,,sweat tea that leaves worry,,,,,,,,,well I can't do nothing about this all I can do is ride it out
I believe there is a hotline here in Arkansas I need to look it up and call to see if I do need to be concerned about this situation

Ok. Private message me if I can provide moral support in any way.
Try not to worry, as it doesn't help the situation.
I looked it up and was right,,they are not taking calls right now but will come 8:00 am,,,,
I will see what I can find out come morning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks
my biggest concern is at what point does a person become contagious

Assume you're contagious now. Many people are asymptomatic. Wear a mask, distance yourself from loved ones (or, conversely, cozy up to people that you don't like), wash your hands, and try to stay upbeat.
yeah I do have a few I don't like,,,,it might be a good way to get rid of the turds
