[hocus pocus]

We're out of paper products, any kind of sanitizer (or things that can be used to make your own). Pet items, some foods (especially bread) are low in stock or gone, and detergents are low. We were low on it and found some. A lot of the stores around here (even our 24hour ones) are closing early to restock and sanitize. It seems like the bulk buying is slowing down, which is good because I know a lot of people need things they were unable to get.

The schools are shut down for two weeks but I am thinking they are going to re-evaluate after those two weeks. They've been talking about ending the school year now/finishing it off entirely online. We're in a rural area and not everyone here has internet access.

Some of our libraries are closed, as are some state buildings. No non-essential gatherings over 100 people.

I am nervous because I need to travel through several states to a hospital for additional surgical treatment. I'm not sure if it will be postponed. I don't want it to be but more surgery will put me at more risk and I'm already ill more than half of the time. I am supposed to cross state lines this coming weekend as well.

It seems like we're beginning to prevent spreading it more but I hope things begin to look up from here.
