Popping back in to join the "compromised lung" group. I'm an asthmatic and so is one of my daughters. It's doesn't make us immunocompromised but it still makes this virus scary as heck. Thankfully, my daughter really only expresses the asthma as a really harsh cough when she gets sick (at this time) but I'm full-blown, everything makes me wheeze/short of breath - cold air, certain triggers like pine and smoke, exercise, getting sick, you name it.

I'm glad some of you were able to order what you need online. It seems like whatever I try to order (like bread mix because I thought it might be the perfect time to try out my bread machine - never had a chance because my parents gave it to me when the girls were like 4 months old) is out of stock. We just got word that all of the local stores that sell food - Stop & Shop, Price Chopper, even Walmart, for example) are reducing their hours to allow for more time for the workers to restock the shelves. It's a good move, and, honestly, I wasn't planning to go out at like 10pm to shop anyway.

I took a look at the official CDC map yesterday and it seems like my state is still (thankfully) on the very low side of confirmed cases - only 6 or 7 (can't remember which off hand). I just wish it could tell us which towns. The first 2 cases were a solid one hour drive away from where we are but I did hear of an 82 year old woman a few towns over with a case. Now, she could be an 82 year old practical shut-in who is of little danger of spreading the virus or she could be a vibrant, active, goes everywhere and does everything kind of lady.

Oh well. I did get a few rooms cleaned/disinfected/dusted since the quasi-quarantine hit (we can still leave our houses to shop and the like). Now I have to get the kids motivated to help in the other rooms because it looks like Toys R Us threw up in here.
