I’ll be honest, I won’t believe that until I see it but I wouldn’t be surprised. We just put in our meat order, which will stock out freezer, just waiting for delivery, all best quality you can get. Water is free and I have plenty of ammo to fend off the hordes that won’t make it out this far in the country anyway. And if they do they have my Great Pyrenees to deal with first.
I’m just thankful I work for a company where I can work from home.

Pentagon Preparing Navy Hospital Ships Mercy, Comfort for Coronavirus Response
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3825555/posts
The Pentagon is starting the process of activating Navy hospital ships USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) and USNS Comfort (T-AH-20) as part of the Defense Department’s domestic response to the spreading COVID-19 virus, USNI News has learned. “We’ve already given orders to the Navy… to lean forward in terms of getting them ready to deploy,” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told reporters on Tuesday. The ships will now begin the several days-long process of bringing aboard medical staff and equipment ahead of deploying along the East and West coasts, a defense official confirmed to USNI News on Tuesday afternoon.
[NOTE - these ships were constructed from taking two large container cargo ships and attaching them together - they are YUGE!
Re working: My hubby is in irrigation. He’s outside all day- told him no going in houses just leave a note on the door or phone the customers, installs are all outside anyway. I’m hopeful that he can keep working. It’s been raining here for weeks . . . . finally have some decent weather. He asked his main builder what he was going to do and he said as long as people are buying he will keep building.
