Comments (77)Being retired and having my pensions arriving, I'm fortunate to not have immediate financial concerns and having lived alone for years, I am used to that. Our church is providing daily inspirational messages and provides a partial Sunday service on their site and gatherings of several on various occasions on Zoom. I've been working on developing telephone trees with them and family and friends. Also wondering about taping a message on various stranger's storm doors in a local neighbourhood asking if they have become stir crazy yet ... and might be interested in talking to an old guy from the 1930s whose telephone in childhood on a farm nearby was a big box on the wall with a stem like a tulip sticking out of the front to take one's talk and a listening tube on a wire that hung on the side of the box. One rang a series of long and short rings to call local neighbours and there was a signal to call a central operator who would call people at a greater distance. A question for you gardenweb friends - have you thought that someday you'd like to develop some latent interest lying unpursued in your psyche? Maybe this would be a good time to rouse it from slumber. Also give some thought to evaluating your life: as you look at yourself in the mirror, are you reasonably, quietly and rather humbly pleased with the person that you see? Maybe to consider improving some errors or defects, putting things right with friends where you feel that you had done them some wrong? I hope that you can exit this period a better person than the one who entered it. Good wishes for your journey through this time and as you participate in the "new normal" after. ole joyfuelled...See Morestay at home matters
Comments (6)Iowa tops 1100 cases, with over 20% of the cases among health workers. Today the governor admitted the state has shortages of PPE, but she still won't issue a statewide stay at home order. No big deal, huh? No rush. Sickening and bordering on the criminal....See MoreCalifornia Stay at Home orders and Airbnb - WDYT?
Comments (33)My best friend's family is just coming out of a super spreader Thanksgiving event, where her asymtomatic niece infected all of her sister's extended family, her 82 year old mother and her other sister who cares for the mother. They supposedly were "being careful" but had some unmasked time inside due to it being so cold outside. So you can't be too careful. As for visiting, can you get tested and quarantine ahead of time? This is some new advice coming out of the CDC now due to more testing being available. So a visit involves quarantine and then testing before a visit, with quarantine and testing after. New guidelines on this are shorter than 14 asymptomatic days. I think seven is the new suggested quarantine time if testing is part of the regime. 7 days of quarantine after a negative test and you should be able to feel confident that AT THAT POINT IN TIME you are virus free. Any exposure to anyone changes that assumption. From CDC Web site: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html "If you are traveling, consider getting tested with a viral test 1-3 days before your trip. Also consider getting tested with a viral test 3-5 days after your trip and reduce non-essential activities for a full 7 days after travel, even if your test is negative. If you don’t get tested, consider reducing non-essential activities for 10 days after travel. Keep a copy of your test results with you during travel; you may be asked for them. Do not travel if you test positive; immediately isolate yourself, and follow public health recommendations....See Morenancyjane_gardener
