PHX, AZ, field report.
AZ is the 14th most populous state in the USA, with the 6th LARGEST land mass. PHX is the 6th LARGEST city in America.
Test question: Should every square inch of America, be treated the same during the COVID 19 outbreak?
To date: there are 108 COVID 19 attributed deaths. That’s it. AZ has a massive elderly population, with likely- multiple comorbidity factors- each! GOOD JOB ARIZONA!
AZ edict- Stay at home, except for essential work or necessities.
Me-
Reality: Come and go as I please but keeping it down to a dull roar.
Motto: Limit my trips and make it count.
Essentials: Beer, lottery, food. Beer, lottery, food. Beer, lottery, food.
Went to an elementary school earlier today to participate in a self funded / self help, weekly, group, food program- Bountiful Baskets.
6:45am - 7:45am volunteer basket build-up window

This is my second time in 8 days participating. I volunteered last week, helping build up the food baskets.
6 volunteers this week. 2 masked out of the 6.
Me- just a customer this time. No mask. spit
Approx. 100 participants involved to pick up the food baskets. A few wearing masks.
Both distribution days, I got my baskets before the herd arrived, and left almost immediately.
No more than 5 customers and 6 volunteers were on the premise at the same time, during my presence.
Me- purchased last week: $246 (very low exposure vs big box store population / interaction)
Me- purchased this week: $184 (very low exposure vs big box store population / interaction)
