I spoke too soon, at the end of the day New York still has the highest rank in total new deaths, not New Jersey. And California ranks 8th in total new cases and total new deaths.

I’m not sure I’m going to get a Tylenol jar just in case I get CV.
I went out shopping for a hair cutter kit, got one and I also got a small bottle of Tylenol. I had to wear mask for the first time but while adjusting it, I tore it. I will need to make one myself. All these fly stations mask is not great.

I just made my first and very own face mask from an old face cloth, i used 2 strings from my garden hat to tie the end. I’ve read from TV that thick cotton is more effective. Plus I can breath through it and it’s washable.

I use baby #1 or #2 diapers. I slit the outer waterproof covering to allow air to flow thru. I am too lazy to use strings and currently use masking tape. I may use zip ties but my supply is limited.

I was thinking of using my old bra as a face mask like this.

Well, we gt a wake up call this week. A long term care center about a mile from me has 16 staff and 29 residents infected. And 90 percent of those who tested positive had no symptoms. Sure makes you feel nervous about being around anyone.

That is scary. I wouldn't even drive past that place.

It sure ought to. I had thought that surely older or compromised people who test positive would certainly have symptoms and I'm pretty well informed. I decided that, despite my strong caution and behavior here in SW Colorado, I had better assume that I'm infectious when I go out and about with my cloth mask on (groceries/takeout/post office).

It's everywhere. We all have to observe six-foot distance from anyone else not in our households and wear some sort of face covering if out and indoors especially.

This is going to be a long and rough haul for everyone. Take care.

That won't help, even if you're exaggerating. It's in your community and mine. Don't kid yourself.
