Here's more about the shortage crisis front page on CNN online. It's out of London. But still, expect this to start another wave of panic-buying here because it describes an international, broadly-applicable set of conditions.

Not my style, Signy, but lots of mulch looks good!

Be safe.
You too - be safe. Stay well.

I was out for a whole two hours today. Had to go somewhere on a bus, still in my city but not within walking distance for me. Anyways lady at this office said you have to stand on the red line. I said okay but you are going to have to speak up so I can hear you. She agreed and my business was handled in a matter of minutes.

How do you feel being out and about like that? Concerned? Or do you think the province has a good handle on testing and there's not too many undiagnosed carriers around?
I'm just being nosy.
Here in SoCal testing is abysmally behind the realities (especially since " ===> March 21, 2020 LACounty eliminates testing on most potential COVID-19 patients."). So I have no trust in the numbers of 'cases'. And being a person-at-risk, I definitely try to protect myself by staying at home as much as possible, and when I go out, by wearing a mask, and sanitizing my hands often, but always immediately on entering the house. If one can get past this without catching anything, I hope to be in that group.

Hi BRENDA.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I personally would not be out and about without at least a procedure mask 
the kind that doctors and surgeon wear when they don't want to infect you, if not a full-on N95 respirator 
the kind you want to wear when YOU don't want to breathe anything in!
Procedure masks provide about 65% protection, N95 respirators about 90%. If you don't have many,and must re-use
How to sanitize your mask: 175F in preheated oven for 30 minutes

r-masks-safely
If you don't have any, how to make your own mask
I personally don't even walk the dog without a surgical mask, and won't go shopping without a respirator. I have a few leftover at home from gardening and home renovation, which I keep santizing and re-using.

No worries Kiki. It was unnerving but I had to get to this office, so no choice. You can't get on a bus here by the front door near the driver. You get on and off at the rear doors. Seats are blocked off to maintain distance. They have signs on them not to sit. Very few people are taking the buses now because of all of this.
I think for the most my province has a good handle on testing and the Chief Medical officers for the province do briefings every couple of days on numbers as do the news outlets but they get the numbers from the government.
When I am out I am careful of my distancing. I touch nothing in the stores unless I am certain that it is something that I want to buy.
I am constantly washing my hands, very careful not to touch my face when I am out.

Sig, I have a couple of masks left over from when I was living at the crappy place. I bought them so when I was cleaning my allergies wouldn't get to aggravated by all the dust.
