Not good!

Second try to post this!

1. I knew by Thursday

that coronavirus would be the main topic, after all the results of Super Tuesday were pretty much sorted out. We're retired, and we can sit this out at home for a couple of months, if need be.

2. You are lucky

I cannot stay home and "wait it out".

I am caring for an 84-year old person.

I'm in crummy shape myself and over 60.

I had to go pick-up my RX's for the month.

Got a lot of strange looks as I was wearing and N95 mask.

Sorry if "they" do not like this as I do not like this either!

3. Yes, we are

Can you get meds by mail? Or through a drive-in window at a pharmacy?

4. No I cannot

Thanks to this B.S. War on Drugs I must sign for each RX.

I had to wait 30 mins. for the pharmacist to return from his lunch break before I could pick them all up!

5. At my pharmacy

they send out a little clipboard with a place to sign, through the window. My pharmacy is in a section of the strip mall building that used to be a bank. They took out the second lane (the one that operates on pneumatic tubes) and just use the drawer to get you your stuff.

It's not perfect, but it does keep you away from contact with other customers of the pharmacy, at least. I wish you all the best.

6. No point in posting these.

In another 1-2 weeks, it will be everywhere. Despite event cancellations and large tech companies telling people to work from home (ok, white collar workers... the "lower level" employees will just have to take their chances), and other precautions, there is no containing this bug at this point. Act as if it's in your community right now. Because it is.

7. Excuse me

I am from San Francisco.

I'd want to know this information even if I no longer live in The City.

8. My daughter's high school in SF closed early today because a student's relative is being treated for

the virus. School and all school-related activities are cancelled for today and tomorrow while they assess the situation before Monday.

9. These are just the ones that met that high bar for testing.

Who knows how many others have it in SF at this point?
