SHELTER-IN-PLACE

Well, my area now has a shelter-in-place for three weeks.  We are not supposed to go outside unless it is for a reason.  The only things that are open and working are:

• Banks
• gas stations
• food stores
• pharmacies (plus prescription delivery)
• restaurants to do home deliveries/curbside pick-up
• post office

We will still have:

• water
• sewage
• garbage pickup
• mail delivery
• transit (people sitting at a distance)
• ability to walk outside, walk dogs

We just can't go to work unless your job is a necessity.  All other businesses are closed down and everyone needs to stay inside.

 I have been doing this for weeks now with a few short trips to the supermarket, post office, bank and pharmacy.  I have plenty to eat and drink and to keep me busy for the next three weeks.

Women’s Month person: Florence Nightingale worked with a team of nurses improving. The unsanitary conditions at a British base hospital, reducing the death count by two-thirds during the Crimean War.  Her writings sparked worldwide health care reform. In 1860 she established St. Thomas’ Hospital and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses. She died August 13, 1910, in London.

Until tomorrow...
