I was rather proud of my neighborhood POA (HOA) at the meeting tonight. Unprompted the board announced they were organizing volunteers to grocery shop for neighbors who have to self-isolate due to the coronavirus. They are planning ahead. POA’s get a lot of guff on social networks, but mine has always come through for neighbors in a time of crisis.
Indiana Gov. announces steps to protect public from Covid-19. It looks like the States are not waiting around for the Federal Gov’t.
I take it that besides the travel ban from Europe and talk about aid to Wall Street types, Trump didn’t say much about concrete health and medical measures for the people of the US? Am I right?

These were the people with years of experience planning for a pandemic. No wonder the Federal response is so pathetic.

Electrolux Silverado Vacuum Cleaner
Before I can tell you about the Silverado, we need to clear up the confusion about the Electrolux name. Here is the sho...This is weird from just reading the news: in the US the private sector seems to be doing more to try to contain the spread of coronavirus by cancelling events, flights, travel, warnings and work from home restrictions, than the government. It’s very fragmented but it’s there.
Pantry full. Freezer full. I just got done sorting excess canned goods into boxes and I’m having trouble finding room for the boxes. I think I’ll stop buying food for awhile. Especially canned goods.

A couple of weeks ago I read a book on prepping for voluntary self-isolation called “The Wuhan Coronavirus Surviv...The sun is right at an angle where it hits my eyes and makes me sneeze. Damn sun.

If they were inventing Daylight Savings Time changes today, The Man would require you buy some “Lightning Connector” type propriatary dingus that you had to buy before you could change your clocks. So they could cash in.

I forgot to buy oatmeal.
Grocery Store shopping today. My hoarding:
- 4 cans of Bean with Bacon soup
- 2 cans of SPAM. (But it’s reduced sodium SPAM so it may not count.)

Coronavirus and Our Medical Capacity: Some Numbers Yes I know it’s a Twitter thread but it’s worth reading. Don’t panic, but take it seriously.
It’s hard to blame people for trying to stockpile needed goods. People are only trying to make up for the failures of our leaders who should have been more prepared but were not.
Who’s in charge of this pandemic, anyway?
Ebay has recently started trying to show me a CAPTCHA after I login to confirm it’s me. Except the CAPTCHA never appears. Probably all my ad and cookie blockers. But, hey I really didn’t want to buy on Ebay that bad anyway. I’ll find it elsewhere or do without.
