I finally got my 3m respirator. I've had the filters for a week.
“The time to have properly prepare for this, was 6 weeks ago.”
We help out our elderly neighbors and I was trying to buy a little extra for them (their money) since Wuhan shut down. After a couple of weeks they said their monthly budget didn’t allow for too much extra. :(
I bought some things on my own dime and they are at our house. Plus, they know who to call if they need TP or paper towels or cleansers, etc.
She did ask for a large can of mixed nuts from Costco. I drove by earlier and the place was a zoo. I wasn’t going in just for her mixed nuts (and paper towels - but she can use ours.) I’ll try again later tonight. My wife is astounded at all the stores so crowded. I told her “With work and schools shut down - I guess folks figure they have free time to shop!” (That was earlier - now it is due to the President declaring an Emergency. Hmm - we live in a very liberal area - why are they believing the President now???)
What is really crazy, the last time I was in the local grocery store (early this week) only two out of 50 people had masks on other than me. And then they were just the doctor’s masks.
I wear a N95 mask and googles. Strip down in the garage, toss the clothing into decon and take a shower. I’m near Kirkland, Washington.

That is very good of you to look out for your elderly neighbors.
You’re great neighbors!
Sounds like you have a very kind heart and very good decon system.
