Lots of bare shelves around here and it's started to get quieter. Less cars on the streets, fewer pedestrians. They may not have closed schools, but it's obvious that parents are keeping their kids home, because the school run was almost non-existent today.

I've got to go to Newport tomorrow for a medical procedure classified as urgent (or they wouldn't even have scheduled it). They moved it up a day as it is. I'm not happy to be heading to a hospital for an out-patient procedure...not only am I worrying about the results, but I worry about getting infected as well. It is what it is.
