I have been gone, as surely I have been gone before, and surely gone again. We have been sheltering in place, only going to the grocery store for necessities, and even then masked and gloved with clorox wipes in a zip-loc baggie in my pocket. My mother was with us for two months. She talks incessantly when she's stressed or nervous. As soon as was allowed, I sent her home. Her county was/is very low risk for exposure to covid-19. Rural with a high rate of diabetes and other underlying issues, those people self isolated and masked up right away. But now, we are free again. Freed from quarantine, able to go to the liquor store and buy more than one bottle at a time. Interestingly, toilet paper is still being rationed, one package per customer. I don't need it. Before the pandemic hit, I was at Costco and bought enough tp to last a year. Why not? I was at Costco and that's what that place is for. Disaster prepping for the price conscious dwindling middle class.
