“It’s either them or me and I reckon I’m more expendable.”

Very noble of you.

I was just getting out of the hospital when the whole MSM-induced-hoarding panic struck. I was too weak to shop for a week. Luckily my prepper supplies were heavy on sanitation stuff so I was able to restock bar soap, liquid hand soap, hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial wipes, etc. from that. I’d also just bought large packs of TP and paper towels before I got sick so I’ve been very fortunate.

I think if you wear a face mask and have/use hand sanitizer in your car you’ll be OK. That’s what I have. So far so good and I have a half dozen high-risk conditions. I think the trick is to get a low virus load to allow the body’s immune system the longest time to get an anti body solution worked up and deployed. When I got sick in Jan. my body temperature actually went down 1.6 degrees. Took 3 days on IV medicine drips before it was above 98 again so I don’t think I have Covid antibodies. Minimizing viral load is my strategy now.

Best of luck.

Not really noble, just necessary.

Until I get the “neck gaiters” done that I bought fabric for, I’m using a bandanna, gloves and a *lot* of spacing between me and them.

I’m using my left hand to touch things because, as someone said, it’s kind of hard to touch your face with your off-hand and for whatever reason, it does seem to work.

I really hope and pray you dodge this and I will include you in my prayers.
