My wife and I have been planning for the worst for a couple of months. At first I thought she was overreacting but I gave in (gotta keep the pregnant happy). We have an emergency inventory of formula milk, canned food, pasta and water to last couple of months. ( we didn’t empty the shelves, Costco had plenty of inventory in January)
I left the house today for the first time in a week, we are fortunate to have local grocery stores that deliver. My wife and I sanitize the bags and groceries before I take it to my parents. It broke my heart to see my 3 year old cry because he wanted to go play with my father. We have my parents on lockdown to avoid risk. My niece was born 2 days ago, we haven’t seen her in person yet.
My wife and I are fortunate to work from home, I have several friends that have been impacted by the shut down of the auto plants.
My brother is in his 3rd year of medical school on his clinical rotations. His hospital has the highest number of cases in Michigan, they are understaffed and overworked but they are not complaining. My friend in his 50’s has tested positive but he’s doing “okay”, hoping for the best for him and his wife.
Be safe and smart.
