Just answered an email from my sister in FL. Same thing, same worries as you.(bet you wish Rock Scott was still Governor) She’s already sick of canned goods and it looks like they’ll be eating more. Her husband is out this morning to see what stores have. You can grow salad greens in a small area pretty quickly. It’s not like they need the 50-60 days to get to full size and you can trim a salad every day from them for a while. They sell salad mix seed packs.

We talked to a friend in AZ and, apparently, they’re open and business as usual except for the schools and his dentist who closed Friday. Walmart there is still open 24/7.
Friend, who flew every week out of state, is now doing closer jobs that are within driving distance.

Due process? No wonder he was fired.

The remark had to have been about Trump. You can’t show disloyalty to the President, especially in a time like this.

We’re whistling past the cemetery hoping this monster will burn itself out anytime soon.

DETROIT – Kroger is taking steps to increase physical distancing at its stores, the company announced Tuesday.

It has started installing plexiglass partitions at cash registers. According to the company, every checkout lane, including pharmacy counters and Starbucks registers, should have a partition within the next few weeks.

Also, decals are being placed on floors near checkout lanes to promote physical distancing while waiting in line.

Yeah, without effective treatment we’ll be just like other countries.

Walmart and some of the nation’s largest grocery store chains – Kroger and Albertsons – are installing plexiglass barriers or partitions to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus and protect both shoppers and store employees.

And yes, many are whistling past the cemetery. I'm having a hard time with the numbers myself. Get yourself prepared mentally and materially for what's coming.

Amazon now has COVID-19 cases across 10 of its warehouses globally and faces growing pressure from unions and workers’ rights groups to shut down facilities.

Local media reported that there are now seven cases across Amazon’s US warehouses in New York, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, Michigan, Connecticut, and Oklahoma have had workers test positive for COVID-19.

Last week a delivery station in Queens, New York was temporarily shut down after becoming the first US facility to detect a case of the virus.

Workers In 8 Amazon Warehouses Test Positive For Coronavirus

In recent days, warehouse workers at two separate sites in New York City, in Staten Island and Queens, in addition to employees at warehouses in Jacksonville, Fla., Oklahoma City, Brownstown, Mich., Katy, Tex., Wallingford, Conn. and Shepherdsville, Ky., have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to media reports and Amazon officials.

Nevada may be stocking up on ropes and scouting out tall trees if the idiot governor doesn’t walk that back. Can’t see how he can ban doctors from giving any legal drug to patients.

Home Depot and Lowe’s actually have kits for the novice.

The rest of us know how to do this.

You can also container garden beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, etc.
