I guess it's been about 4 months now for the "lockdown" [View all]

It really hasn’t bothered me much. I’m staying cautious. I live right at the border of two states, one has opened up to phase 2, the other is maybe at phase 1 or maybe none. I’m not sure but it’s still pretty locked down. You can really tell the difference from one state to the other.

I’ve started to do a couple things; had my first in person doctor appointment today. Dentist last week. I took out $100 cash at the beginning and still have about $40 left. Been using my CC for most everything. I’ve now purchased three bottles of hand sanitizer. Paper products have been available for several weeks. So it’s gradually returning to more normal and the slow pace has been ok by me. But I’m retired so it hasn’t been much impact beyond staying home a lot. I try to get out for a walk every day and I’ve had to get a jump for my car twice due to low battery from not driving.

I can understand people who are out of work complaining but the people who want to pretend it’s all over offend me. I’ve got a friend who I know hates trump send me some fox crap about how the lockdown is overblown and unnecessary. It surprised me because he’s much more likely to have it real bad if he were to get the virus. So many people are willing to have that attitude because they don’t know anyone personally who is affected. I know casually 3 people who got sick and though no one died one was in the hospital for 3 weeks (he’s close to my age) and the others said they were the sickest they’d been in their lives. Stay safe folks.
