Tea bags can be stuffed into canning jars and put in a freezer, if you have one and have room.
They will keep a LONG time there.
Well, I’ve been to Texas and other places around the country, and people are friendly ALL THE TIME. That’s great!
I was trying to point out that the crisis has brought the hickory nuts out of their shells.
Prince Charles has tested positive for Covid-19.
Prince Charles is currently self isolating with Covid-19.
Prince Andrew, however, is self isolating with Emily-15.
“Remember in person?”
Kind of. I know I’m cynical to a degree. My neighbors and I wave at each other, say hello from a distance. We’d report suspicious activity around the each other’s houses to help keep each other safe. If someone said they were hungry, most would probably be willing to set a bag of food out for them to come to get.
I think it would pretty much stop at that, though.
As far as the regular stranger you meet while out and about, most people are looking at each other like they consider each other dangerous.

Buy a clue, dude.

“NYC is full of people you’ll never see again.”
I’ve been a few times. I did recognize that and thought that it would be strange to each morning walk out of my building and immediately start passing people that almost all of which I would probably never see again in my life.
Celebrities and royalty getting this is showing people that no one is immune in any way.
I’m curious: was the Spanish flu the first flu pandemic, or were there other versions before that. If there were previous flus, some folks might have had a partial immunity, making the virus’ ability to spread more difficult.
Perpetuating "Normalcy Bias"
Many grocery stores are offering 8 AM - 9 AM hours for the elderly,
and those with compromised immune system and cancer treatment.
Thus minimizing contact with the hoards of shoppers, and keeping 6 foot physical separation.
It’s probably a good thing that MEghan has Harry’s balls in a jar this time around.
*Groan*
I don’t think you saw my earlier post about senior hours.
In the rich suburbs around here they are the _worst_ times to shop.
The rich seniors all just came back from their world travels—fuggedaboutit!
Same as the hospital staff above, stage a walkout and see how fast Trader Joe’s manager changes his mind. Even faster if a tv crew were to show up at his office.
Wal-Mart has started offering seniors and other vulnerable people an hour from 6 to 7 am to shop. So no more going on a quick trip to Wal-Mart to get some needed item after a night shift; will have to wait until between breakfast/dinner and bed.
Part of me is not disappointed to find out this virus is no respecter of persons.
All their money and fame cannot always protect them from the stuff the rest of us have to face every day.
My sympathy meter for them is very broken right now.
MEghan is isolating Just Harry, the first.
My mom’s thoughts on the subject:
“Being rich won’t make you happy, but it is better than the alternative.”

FDA will allow doctors to treat critically ill coronavirus patients with blood from survivors
You probably have antibodies to H1N1.
That’s the Spanish flu.
Nice story though.
