COVID-19: March 24, 2020

Personal impact:

  • Ed usually does all the grocery shopping, but to save him exposure, I made our weekly trip by myself. He drew an excellent map of the store to help me find where everything was!

  • Wore mask, wiped down shopping cart.
    Came home, immediately undressed and took a shower while Ed wiped all the purchases down.
    The new normal.
