Again, just a reminder that groceries, prepared food, and meds are available via delivery. I know that even here, the first state affected, social distancing and hand hygiene are not always being observed, so even if you are careful in and around stores, others can compromise your safety. So it's hard to hear of anyone who is, lives with or visits a PALS, venturing out unnecessarily.
I realize that some PALS wouldn't try to reach the other side, but it's no picnic for anyone, and a fifth of the cases who are hospitalized, many of whom were previously healthy, are 20-44.
Even if you're not in a "locked-down" area, there is no area to which the laws of viral transmission do not apply. We are all heading the same direction, without aggressive containment.
Please, everyone, consider this, and let us know if you need pointers to get what you need.
Best,
Laurie
