Corona - what does help you? Your fears, thoughts, everything

LOL, a group of men gathered at a Steamboat Springs house and refused to leave, so the female roommate called the police. They were arrested for violating the stay-at-home order, hauled in to the pokey and had to spend the night in jail. Hopefully in a small cell, haha.

Cracks are appearing...they're honking, congregating and protesting in Michigan even though there are 25K cases there and 1,600 deaths.

I took a walk around my neighborhood this afternoon because I hadn't been out of my building since, I think it was, Friday. It's quite eerie how few people are around. Even eerier is how businesses have their windows boarded up. I'm sure it's because the owners are afraid of looters (frightening that they're afraid of looters), but it makes the neighborhood look abandoned.

Our PM just gave the regular 1pm briefing and it has made me more miserable.
While numbers are continuing to decline, just 15 new cases today, she outlined level 3 which we may go down to next Thursday, they will make the decision on Monday.
It will hardly make a difference to me. Cafes etc will remain closed, cooked food deliveries may be allowed, not sure about my local fish 'n chips shop as they do not deliver, I have to collect. Retail shops other than supermarkets will remain closed, I was hoping I may be able to go to the garden/hardware store. I may be able to get a delivery of an online order.
Schools will reopen for younger children (under 15) whose parents cannot stay home, but keeping them home is preferable.
I may be able to get my lawn mowed as long as I keep away from the guy when he comes. It just needs one more tidy up before winter really sets in. It has been cold with inland snow over the last few days.
Exercise is still not to involve driving anywhere
I can open up my bubble to a visit by one or two relatives, but my only relatives live in Australia.
She acknowledged it was hard for older people living alone.
Funerals and weddings can have up to 10 people, at the moment weddings banned and no-one except priest and undertaker at funeral. However only a service, no food .

When I spoke to my father last evening, he told me that whenever he goes to the supermarket where he shops (and uses the pharmacy for his meds), the store is out of toilet paper. As much as I hate to think of him running around to stores, I told him he is going to have to start checking other places (pharmacies and supermarkets).
So jokes about people hoarding toilet paper are no longer funny when a 90-year-old man can't find any and has to risk his health and safety traveling from store to store to look for some.
(He's down to three rolls. I'd be hunting for it, too, if that was all I had.)
