It's official, PEOPLE gone crazy!


 The people of Ottawa have lost their minds! The federal and provincial governments, did suggest that people should have supplies on hand in case they had to stay home for a week or two. However what people heard was that, a zombie apocalypse is eminent and they must hoard supplies to last them for at least five years!!!! Aaaaaah!

 There is definitely a little panic setting in, I can understand that. The news keeps saying to remain calm and yet before every news cast, there is dangerous sounding music thundering out and a deep voice saying Covit 19 emergency coverage... remain calm? Really?  Ottawa had two more cases yesterday, one of them was Prime Minister Trudeau's wife Sophie. Canada also had its first death. The schools are going to be shut down until April, people are going to be working from home when possible, events like the St Patrick's day parade, hockey games etc, etc have been cancelled. The province of Quebec is thinking about closing shopping malls. There was going to be a St Patrick's day dance on Saturday for the LGBTQ community, featuring 70s and 80s music, I was excited about that but now decided not to go, I think it's going to be cancelled anyway.

 Last night I went to get groceries, this was my first experience with people panic, until now things were calm. I like to shop for groceries around 8:00 p.m. because the store is empty. Last night the parking lot was full! Many of the shelves were empty, especially toilet paper, I don't get the toilet paper panic. A couple of small packs last me a year. A lot of the prices have been raised, no sales happening unless it's something people don't normally buy. I realized panic has set in. This morning the radio host was saying to stay away from areas with Costco stores, the traffic into the stores, are blocking the main through traffic flow. It's like black Friday Christmas shopping out there now!

 Even my own situation, Mr X decided to go ahead with his plans and he went to California. Things are changing by the hour, I think that could potentially be a huge mistake. Now they are suggesting to stay away from anyone who traveled outside of the country for two weeks. He is not going to like this, he doesn't feel threatened by the virus. He gets in Saturday afternoon and was hoping to see me Saturday evening. I want to wait, I don't want airport germs!!! This could be our first argument, I do however really really really miss him.

I am always stocked with food and other provision at the Casa...especially gin. Late last night, I found out from my boss, our store is closed indefinitely until further notice. I plan to relax, take walks with Buster and take in nature. Daddy Warbucks was trying to come here for business and is having a hell of a time getting out of Europe. I will plan to see my mother for her birthday this weekend, but other than that...just pure relaxation. And go back into hibernation.

It's what I do.

Well, we'll see if Mr X respects your feelings or selfishly expects you to go against what you feel are your best interests. Good luck, I hope it turns out okay.

Like most of the population of South Florida, I fall into the range where there could be no happy ending. But WTF, you gotta live while you can.

I hope Mr.X returns to your arms in good health and horny.

We've got food, both animal and human, and necessities, AKA tequila and fresh limes, so I wouldn't mind staying home for a spell.

Mr. X may have to get used to the idea that if he wants to ravel there might be consequences. Stand your ground, Steven, and do what you think best.

I don't panic over this kind of stuff, really. Earthquake supplies are my friend and I rarely venture out of my hole. People are acting like it's bubonic plague or ebola or SHINGLES! Okay, maybe not that last one. There was no line when I picked up my meds yesterday, so, bonus! Hang in there, kiddo.

It's is rather Twilight Zone-ish, isn't it? I will probably stop in tomorrow and pick up another big bag of dog food, just in case. It's not for me... it's for the dogs... just in case.

I agree. I’ve got stuff in the freezer. Gotta pick up one more bag of dog food. My company has canceled all non-essential travel, including a couple of large gatherings for software testing and sales force recognition (they’re overpaid anyway). I’m going to try Costco this morning when they open and see what happens. We have our primary election this week. I was expecting a large turnout, but I think that’s been shot down.

But life goes on.

I think the media is adding the to hysteria. I don't get the toilet paper hoarding. It's a respiratory illness. There is no abdominal distress. People are not experiencing severe pooping. You need cold/flu medication along with Advil/Tylenol.

Mess. I wish this would all just go away already. Ugh...
