Seriously, a very good plan. I started gathering yesterday. Dried beans and rice, flour and sugar. Extra meds and other essentials. At least the power should stay on. I do wonder though, if no one could go to work for a month, how many can manage that financially? I am also starting to wonder if this virus hasn’t already been among us for some time. At the very start of this, I saw a CDC report which stated the virus was already in 42 states. The report suddenly vanished…makes me wonder. > **[Oregon coronavirus patient is grade-school employee; school closed for deep...](https://www.foxnews.com/health/oregon-coronavirus-patient-is-grade-school-employee-school-closed-for-deep-cleaning-officials-say)** > > An elementary school in Oregon will remain closed through Wednesday after an employee became the first presumptive case of coronavirus in the state, the Lake Oswego School District confirmed on its website.  ---

The problem here in the states is that by now, 10’s of thousands should have been tested but ONLY 1500 have been tested…this is very alarming. (We are in the midst of one of the worst flu seasons. Many of those could actually be Covid-19) The CDC has stopped posting the number tested. Individual states FINALLY have their own test kits so it is very likely the number of cases will begin to grow dramatically. Churches and other orgs have directed people to sanitize commonly touched items every day. No hugging. No hand shaking.(church services and schools are shutting down in Washington state and in NY) People over 60 are being advised to avoid crowds and public places. If you have a fever or a cough seek medical help immediately and avoid other people. I went to Wal-Mart early (it was nearly empty of people) for one last big buy on food etc…the Lysol products have vanished from the shelves. Soap is running low ( hand sanitizers don’t really work well) Most people are ordering their groceries for curb-side pick up. We are no longer in a containment phase. We are in a mitigation phase. There are predictions that half the economy could collapse. Most businesses and most people, cannot survive a month long shutdown…scary times. > [@kliktrak](#): > > [buy stocks in hand sanitizer companies …and toilet paper. 😁 especially Scott tissue.
