I’m back from the Post Office to send my certified/return- receipt-requested back tax forms. The past two days went to the bank to pay property taxes, Harris Teeter grocery, and Post Office. Now I can stay inside for a week. Bank employees protected by inch thick plexiglass counter to ceiling, Harris Teeter had new 2 foot square plastic screens set in front of the scale and cash register area, but no barrier between the pack your groceries area and the cashier (need a much wider screen), post office had no screening, no face masks, but one worker had rubber gloves. I mentioned the plastic screen at HT, the worker said PO is doing NOTHING to help us.

Just saw report that President Trump has removed the emergency funding for POST OFFICES from the Emergency Bill he just signed. How does he expect to get the income tax money sent in? I know some can be sent on computer, but some of us, especially elderly are not computer savvy and going to library may not be an option. Of course we are all going to die anyway!

Why would post offices need emergency funding? They are not closing. Their employees are not being laid off.
