Is anyone wearing protective gear against the Caronavirus? I keep my mask and gloves in my truck, especially for when I go to Wal-Mart, being in my sixties and with preexisting health problems. And what is your take on things as they stand?

Not as yet, we closed our borders to all but returning citizens a couple of days ago and any returning must self isolate for 14 days. Our total is now in the 30s and climbing (about 4.5 mil population)
Restrictions on indoor and outdoor events (100pp and 500pp respectively) Yesterday our bishops cancelled all masses and communion to house bound except in dire circumstance. I would expect other churches to do similar.
Other than that we are facing the same stupid hoarding as everyone else.

Les The English Language is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.
Speaking of hoarding, years ago when we started shopping at Sam's Club, I started buying things like TP, and paper towels in bulk. And, seeing some of the things people dealt with in catastrophic situations and since we had a basement, I just started keeping a bulk package or two in reserve of TP and paper towels and drinking water. My wife thought it was pretty funny and told all the family that when I died, she was going to stick a few rolls in my casket. But when the virus hit and the store shelves were bare, I just smiled.
I’m usually good for ten days or so. People in groups of three or more are crazy. I forgot milk, so I will be eating pancakes or scrambled eggs at breakfast for a few days. Things will be better when folks go back to work and annoy each other there.

Our government has just put a 4 level Alert System in place and as a country we are at Level 2. Therefore as an over 70 I am asked to remain at home as much as is possible. If you want to hear our PM here's what she says about it.
You know, I can hardly believe this pandemic is happening. Only one person had been reported ill in my little town ... They say. I wonder, especially since we are located with a major interstate. Les, my mother's church group has been directed to take communion at home. I personally will take thoughtful precautions on a daily basis. Like most folks I believe I'll stay away from groups and see if this monster will burn itself out. I wish all here a win. Last year this time I was in the hospital with flu and going through pneumonia at the same time and in quarenteen for 5 days. I believe I flat lucked out on that one. Well, hang tough you good group of LL readers.

Hi cowboys, yep still here, still kickin.. nope, no protective gear here except common sense.. only a couple cases in the whole county and none in my town, but then again, most everyone is doing what they're asked by city officials. It's not so hard for me as I hate being out in the cold damp weather in the winter anyway, but the other day it hit 63 so it was wonderful just getting outside with the doggies for a nice long walk. Naturally all my travel plans with my Greyhound group has been cancelled, bummer.. My grandson signed us up for all the bells and whistles for movies on comcast, which is great, but find myself graduating back to my reading.. it's my lifeblood.. the hubby goes into town about once a week just to check things out and will maybe hit the grocery store if we need anything So everybody out there stay safe and be good. Blessings and prayers to all of you :)
They were talking about you folks that live out west. Trump said you folks should rebound quicker. Quien(sp) sabe? Well, feel free to take at least a small precaution. Luck, P.

Got two trips planned, but I don't think its going to happen...Sad to see everything closed. I feel for all them people and the place of business. A lot of places may not be able to rebound. Went to a local park today and there must have been two hundred people there and no rest rooms, not even in the town....The small town of Harrison, Ohio looked like a ghost town...
