Don't be tempted to "open." Stick to the safety precautions.

Wear your mask, stay at home, and practice social distancing.

Let the MAGAts exercise their "freedom and liberty." Stand well back and let them infect each other. Don't interfere with their self-destruction.

Really.
Think about it...

Rhode Island is basically open. New York on May 16 but at least only counties. Michigan has lifted some restrictions. It’s like we won the virus war. We haven’t.

The Local Newsies are going Gaga over all these places opening up. Each Station has a so called Reporter doing a live stand up at some Barber shop or Nail Salon as well as some Restaurant. After reading the Story out of Madison Wisconsin and the 1900 idiots whom swarmed the Capital on April 24,we are staying home for the next two weeks.

100 degrees and going in and out of Buildings with A/C blowing in your face. Recipe for a face full of virus.

Watching for the ones in Ely to be the first. White Pine County has zero cases so far. So the Ely joints most likely will be first and followed by Wendover or Mesquite.

I’ll watch the carnage from the comfort and safety of my home. At this point, fuck ‘em.

I was slightly tempted to go to Trader Joes, so cruised by during their pre-opening hours. Line around the barking lot, so nope.

I do miss the nuts and almond butter.

I buy groceries. I pick up meds. Otherwise I stay home and enjoy the company of my wife. Repeat for as long as needed.

We stay home, lay low and my husband picks up groceries or makes an in store run if we run out of something we really need. (His risk factor list is shorter than mine.) We have plenty to keep us occupied at home, more than enough food and we can just wait this thing out. I have a doctor’s appointment at the end of the month that I have already rescheduled once. I am thinking of getting them to switch it to a telemedicine visit since they offer that and it is just a follow up on labs. I will have to go out to Quest to get the lab test done. Too bad they don’t offer in home testing!

Actually, it isn’t really THAT hard especially when you consider the risk. Covid-19 is nothing to get casual about. Especially when you are 71. 😳
