We do not normally shop at Whole Foods. But they set up "seniors only" shopping at 8am-9am this morning. For safety they say. Presumably so old folks can shop without being knocked over by agitated hoarders. Anyway my wife went there today. The store was extremely busy, she says, but she got everything she needed and the only notable out of stock item was toilet paper. There were a few of the "me-me-me" generations who worked themselves in, no surprise, but for the most part was just seniors and well organized. The logic of 8am I think is that the store has been restocked overnight and seniors get first crack at the full shelves before the hoarders get going.

With all this eating at home, this is a good opportunity to get the 2018 produce out of my freezer used up. Normally we ate out a couple of times a week.

I took chloroquine with clarithromycin for two months for Lyme. Hard to tell what made me feel worse, the medicine or the illness. After two months the Dr. Said I was sicker than when I started so I stopped the treatment.

Safeway did that here on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Good idea.

Oh yes Duck . . . I've already delved into both freezers and have found several things!

Coronavirus: Asian nations face second wave of imported cases

I wonder if we are going to another wave of active cases after getting so many back home from Europe recently in the short window we gave them to get back to the USA?

Most of the chains are doing the same here for seniors. They are also all asking to try to refrain from using online grocery deliveries to enable servicing seniors and shut ins.
