I have a friend sending us each a reusable mask to go out in. I'm relieved. We only had bandanas to cover our faces when we went out Friday. I felt so exposed to this pandemic with my bandit mask. We have to go out again this coming week. I did my usual monthly grocery order for delivery but they are now almost 2 weeks out. So an order placed on the 3rd will be delivered the 16th. I need to get things to get me through until then. Hopefully we get the masks by about Friday or so. I don't want to go to the grocery store without one. Or the pharmacy for that matter. I hope the mask helps me not to freak out too badly about catching this thing. Friday when we got home, I was a mess. While out I bought some really expensive beer (accidentally). So I cracked one and tried to chill. I mean I washed up and sterilized everything last thing. We are both "at risk" individuals. And we stay in as much as possible. But We aren't elite enough to just buy 3 months worth of groceries and supplies at a pop. I'm convinced the Republicans are trying to exterminate the poor. Kill of those on the fixed incomes so that money can be used to pad their wallets and portfolios even more. It's disgusting. Being "sold out" by your own government for the all mighty dollar. Now I consider myself pretty open minded, but......how does one wrap their head around making states compete in a bidding war for medical supplies and PPE during a pandemic? Why are we taking supplies meant for other countries? I mean dirty pool is not how this should be played. This is Global. I don't think any one country by itself is going to solve this. I think we all need to put our best people on it and do this as a global team. But......how is the World going to come together when we can't even get our whole country to come together? I felt more US unity during 9/11 than I'm feeling now. Is it going to take the numbers skyrocketing before more people put down the kool aid and wake up?
