The "plan" here seems to be to stretch it out for as long as possible so we
don't have everyone descending on the hospitals at one time.
I'm resigned that I'm probably going to come down with it sooner rather than
later. I had to do my grocery shopping today, mainly because I'd run out of milk
and I can't get my meds down without it.
I was doing Ok until some delinquent, millennial *ASSHOLE* coughed on me; didn't
even try to cover his mouth. I managed to turn away before he could cough on me
a second time, but I'm afraid the damage is done.
I don't have a face mask, and I thought wearing my cartridge respirator was a
bit over the top, so I took a bandana to cover my nose & mouth in approved
western movie train-robber fashion & wore a pair of the disposable gloves I have
for handling the nasty jobs that go along with the home repairs I've been doing.
I hope that will be enough.
I've been doing all the hand washing & other protocols that are supposed to help
me to keep from being the source for someone else.
Now I'm all depressed because I think it's no longer a question of IF, but how
long before I'll get sick.

Currently we have approx 300 confirmed cases. Now, authorities published
some stats. Out of these 300, several dozen that were tested and confirmed
have no symptoms whatsoever...
So, at least here they say that they need all these measures only to keep
health system from total crash... They are probably saving lives as direct
side effect of these measures, and they say so, but the underlying reason
is more pragmatic...
Deep sigh... The world will never be the same again...

A six-county-wide mandate has put me under Covid-19 House Arrest
today. I'm not supposed to leave home for anything other than "living
essentials" like grocery shopping, particularly since I'm a "senior". Until
April 7th…
Make that seven counties, Santa Cruz County is going to shelter in
place. On the bright side, if I can get off my ass, I guess I have an
opportunity to make some progress on a few of the crisis around the house.
Meanwhile, unrelated to covid-19, I was woken this morning by a text
from my sister. Mom is declining, despite the home being on lockdown they
were working on procedures for her to be with Mom at the end, unless of
course Mom pulls through again. A 1700 mile drive, however, is out of the
question. I’ve pretty much said goodbye for the last time every time I’ve
seen her for just over three years, and she wouldn’t even know I was
there. I do wish I could be there for my sister though.
All things considered, Mom passing is the best thing for everyone
involved, especially her, or what’s left of her. She’s been my mom less
and less, and less and less of the time since she broke her hip. I just
wish that her passing could go better than it looks like it will, though I
honestly don’t think she’ll know the difference.

Sorry to hear about your mother Larry. I saw my Mom’s decline from afar
with just occasional visits. I saw Meg’s mother’s decline over the 7 years
we were with her after we moved to her house. No matter the circumstances,
it is hard on everyone during and after.
