May 2020

Once in February, and once in May. I'm a 61 year old widow still raising kids , ages 17& 21. They get my meds thru drive thru and pick up groceries curbside. They've been very good about staying home and not hanging with their friends. I'm worried about school opening in August. It is my 17 year old's senior year. I wish there was an option for e learning. We've only had 9 reported cases in our county but that can change as this area is the Truman lake area with many visitors and trump supporting lowly educated idiots.
