I went to a farm and purchased fresh eggs and a nice package of different kinds of meats she had on a deal from animals she raised on her farm. I have one friend who told me I shouldn't worry, this was all a scam and another friend tell me 'hunker' down. I'm going to reschedule hubby's appts for later this spring and I think I will sit back and see what happens. My job is to take care of hubby. And that means making sure I don't get sick. So yes, going over to total isolation beginning tomorrow. There is still someone who thinks this a Dem scam? Even with people dying all over the world??

There is still someone who thinks this a Dem scam? Even with people dying all over the world?? Her words after we finished a nice hike together: 'This will be over in two weeks or less. China wanted to get rid of their old people so they developed this virus and let it out. And it will hurt our economy so they can take over.' I just didn't say a word but there you go, so many people have their own theories. Since I was face to face with her, I did not argue. So here is my take. If she'd have said that on a message board an I hadn't seen her holding and cuddling my dog while she said it? I would have probably argued. So it taught me something about how I react on the internet and how I react face to face. Interesting lesson for me.

Although if I came face to face with Trump I'd still tell him to f*ck off.

We just received a call from my husband's pulmonologists office. He was scheduled to have some pulmonary testing done this Friday and they are cancelling it.. He is rescheduled for May pending on where this crisis is going. So much for a simple Democratic scam to hurt Trump.

Our doctors' office hasn't closed yet but I suspect they will. I might go pick up another month's prescription.

We had a phone call from my hubby's oncologist yesterday. No office visit, which actually makes a lot of sense in that I would have to drive two hrs each way for a 15 minute discussion.
The news was not what we expected but that is another issue.

Yeah people are dying from this virus, but not nearly as many as are dying from other things. Your risk of dying from it is very very low, unless you are in a high risk group. Most of us either will not get it, or will get a very mild case of it. If I start seeing people getting very sick and dying I will change my opinion. Right now, all I see is fantasy run wild.

Young health people are also dying now - age group 20-50.

Scotland has 3 labs and is aiming for 3,000 tests per day. Our population is 5 million. So far 6 have died and 266 are positive. We are fortunate we have a sensible First Minister to deal with domestic issues, and not that idiot Boris Johnson. Scotland £££ plan

So this is a normal reaction for us to stay pretty isolated but we are practicing it much better right now. If I become ill, I can't care for him. IF I get the coronavirus I won't have to worry about him, it'll be passed on and he will die. So yep, I'm going to be ultra careful.
