i wont share it here, but i sent a picture to my niece of my hands. they are literally peeling from dry skin. LOL too much hand washing and hand sanitizer. I have obsessive tendencies, and my hands used to bleed from washing them too much, i controlled this over time by dialing down my obsessive washing slightly and using lotions, but this is sending my obsessiveness into high gear. lol
We use a roll of toilet paper per day for 3 people. We pee a lot. We definitely don't have 30 rolls in the house!There is no way people are going to use the amounts of toilet paper they are getting in 30 days.
I always wash my hands before & after I do anything. So this is nothing new for me.Just came across this, and can totally relate.
You have 24 cats? I didn't know that.24 cats after all!
Well that's amazing. No wonder you're so knowledgeable lol!Yeah, cats just happen to me, lol. There are a few others here with just as many. . .Norachan, JamesCalifornia. . .I think a few others. They're all indoors because I live on a highway, but I do have an old house on the property that half of them live in, with plans for an attached outdoor enclosure this summer. Anyway, you can see why I need to keep a decent amount of cat supplies on hand!
My vet posted something on Facebook saying the clinic won't close down because of the virus but she won't be able to hug anybody! Which is good because I have to get a few in for shots and make an appointment for Zeke's neuter this week. I won't try to hug her .
I'm also in the Philly suburbs.I'm in PA in the Philadelphia suburbs and everything around me is shutting down. The county right next to mine has the most cases in PA. The governor has asked all non-essential stores in four counties around me, including mine, to close.They are telling us to stay home. My church will have its sermon online; they do live streaming anyway so they're set up for it. All gyms and other public venues are closed. State parks are closed. Schools are closed. Offices are doing telecommuting if they can. The grocery store shelves are looking raided. The good thing is the supply chain is still fine, so if the grocery store is out of something today, they will probably have it tomorrow or the next day. I think once the initial shock of being told to have a couple of weeks of supplies dies down, the grocery stores won't look like a blizzard is on its way.
The way that South Korea was handling the virus was touted on cable news today. They said Korea's handling the situation was a good example of how to cope with it. It wouldn't work as well in other countries because we don't have the technology to track every single person.It's hard to see other places having such a terrible time, but it's also frustrating seeing everyone making the same mistakes because they didn't pay attention when it was just a Chinese problem. (And I mean, I don't really blame average people for this, but the governments should have taken more proactive measures as history has show these things spread) The stories out of Italy are almost word for word the same that came out of Wuhan a month or two ago.
It's also put me in a weird place because the stuff that I sometimes criticize Korean society for (groupthink, surveillance state, etc) has actually been the most effective tool in keeping virus numbers low despite the highly dense population. I mean, we can know which bus an infected person rode at what time...cannot imagine that happening anywhere outside of China, Korea, and Singapore, to be real!
