As a follow-up last week's post.... just a few days after we drove by the Proctor & Gamble plant in Mehoopany and I mentioned that it manufactures toilet paper & diapers, I saw an article in USA Today about its production of extra toilet paper to meet current demand: Toilet Paper "shortage" Pretty funny ! It has been kind of amazing to see empty shelves at local stores, and just hard to understand why toilet paper is one of the products people are hoarding.
In other news on coronavirus COVID-19, this week grocery and other stores (like DD) have put in transparent plexiglass/plastic sheeting to help protect cashiers. The official guidance on face masks seems to be changing - it would be best for everyone to wear them, although right now there isn't enough supply for health care workers and the general public. I ordered some a few weeks ago, which if they arrive will be very helpful especially for work at Gerrity's. In the meantime, we can cover up with scarves, etc.
The official news on the pandemic is so upsetting that we are trying to focus on it a bit less. We are hearing that travel and social distancing restrictions are likely continue another 4-6 weeks. I have a co-worker in New Jersey whose brothers have been diagnosed with it and talked to another one yesterday who has a terrible cough and is debating whether he should be tested. If that's even possible, since so far testing is being limited to suspected cases after a medical assessment. So far we have been very fortunate to stay healthy. Let's be very careful so it stays that way.
