Hello from Texas. Thank you for starting this thread. Houston has 12 confirmed cases so far from those who were on a cruise shop overseas and 1 case that was transferred in from a cruise shop How about those cruise ships. Eh?! We always were told how dirty the air systems were on planes. Now I'm rethinking about the air quality on cruises. We cruise a lot. Houston is a very big city, very spread out. We live in the suburbs, 25 miles away from the city.
Houston area stores are running low on hand sanitizers, bleach, and other soaps. People are hoarding water and toilet paper by the pallet full! Costco reports its sales are up.on these items. It's as crowded as Christmas here.
Fortunately, I had a nice long discussion with someone when the first threatsto US soil appeared. He had no official credentials but at the risk of being laughed at and we were ridiculed, we prepared a week before the population went crazy. Hurricane season starts in May. We've just prepped early. And we havent over prepared!
DH and I are happy homebodies (I really do despise shopping!) only leaving for our appointments and happy to be working in the yard since spring and warmer weather is finally here. I wear a mask because the spring pollen is so bad. But secretly, since Im outside my well-filtered house (many air purifiers due to oet allergies), a bit of a safe feeling does exist behind that mask. We take extra Vitamin C daily. And my hands have never been cleaner!
Stay healthy, Everyone!
