Hey NN! I’ve upgraded my hurricane prep box;) I am keeping the chocolate at hand, however.
My hospital is ready and kind of resigned to the apparent inevitability of it all. It’s been amazing to me to discover how little real information the suits have. It’s been a “challenge” to get straight answers from the government agencies.
There’s a good bit of anxiety but I haven’t personally seen any panic to date. However, we haven’t any known cases in this part of Florida. Yet.

In a sign of just how seriously the restaurant industry is taking the spread of coronavirus in America, Seattle-based Starbucks said staff across its 14,000 U.S. sites are being told to wipe down busy areas of the store every eight minutes.
Everyone around here is cautious, wary, while still maintaining routines. We continue to attend Spring Training baseball, where Purell is strategically located throughout the stadium. MLB players have stopped signing autographs. We left a game early because someone nearby had a persistent cough. I was disgusted that someone would expose the public to that nasty cough. That evening, we learned about the first COVID-19 case locally.
Very much reminds me of watching a storm develop in the Atlantic, waiting and wondering whether it will grow into a nasty hurricane, and whether it will disrupt our lives here. Definitely stocked up on dark chocolate and the rest of storm supplies have been replenished a couple of months early this year. Fortunately, we have the annual preps down to a routine.
