Bare shelves


When L and I were out the other day we stopped by Walmart for a few things. This was where the thread is supposed to be. Yikes. I saw this on Facebook, originally posted Sunday:

So we don’t forget....
Today is Sunday, April 26, 2020
- We are at 40 days of social isolation.
- Schools have been closed since mid-March and are teaching remotely on-line. This will continue for the rest of the school year.
- There are lines/tapes inside the stores to keep people 6 feet apart.
- Bars and restaurants only for home delivery and pick-up.
- Parks, beaches and walk-in places are not accessible to the public.
- All sports competitions have been canceled.
- All festivals and entertainment events have been banned.
- Weddings, family celebrations and birthdays have been canceled. Funerals limited to 10 people.
- People are doing drive-by parades to celebrate birthdays!
- Young kids can’t understand why they can only see grandparents & other extended family and friends on a screen or thru a window if someone visits in person.
- Hugs and kisses are not given.
- The churches are closed or online.
- We have to stay 6 feet away from each other.
- Shortage of masks and gloves in hospitals.
- There are fewer ventilators than there should be.
- People are wearing masks, some places even require that you wear them to enter. People are making their own masks for sale or donation.
- Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes and anything Lysol or Clorox is in short supply and limited per person... IF you can even find them!
- Stores are closing early to disinfect everything.
- Store checkouts, pharmacies and even fast food drive-thru windows have added plexiglass between employee and customer.
- You can't find isopropyl alcohol easily.
- Australia, USA and Europe have closed their borders.
- No one is traveling for leisure. Airports empty. Tourism has the worst crisis in history.
