I’ve been stocking up for weeks: dried beans and rice and pasta in the pantry. Vegetables, chicken and some meat in the freezer. Constant re-stocking of perishables just in case.
I wash my hands more than ever before, and for longer.
But today it got real. All those articles (and especially this one) about flattening the curve convinced me that “cancel everything” has to be on the table. I stayed home tonight instead of going to a wine dinner I was looking forward to, and for which I had tickets. It just wasn’t necessary.
It’s a compromise. This morning I went to the dentist and chances are that tomorrow I will keep my appointment for a haircut.
What are you doing about the coronavirus and how are you feeling about it?
I’ve pulled together basic cold/ flu meds and pantry items for three households. Canceling everything and staying home makes the most sense to me.
Thanks, Jane. Three households? Congratulations!! I only have to be concerned with one household, but ours includes a 4 1/2 year old grandchild with somewhat fickle tastes. How to explain that choices may be a bit more limited on some days.
