I went to Safeway today to pick up a few prescriptions and do my grocery run. Nearly all of the cashier's had masks and gloves, but only half of the customers. Worse, many of the customers were not following the one-way aisle markers nor were they following social distancing. When those were...

Make your own. There are several people in my small town making masks from leftover quilt scraps and selling them for $3 each, and are completely washable.

PA's control on liquor stores is baffling. When I lived there from 1975-1986, there were several attempts to turn the State run stores over to independent operators and lots of reports of severe corruption in the department. I remember my parents being shocked when we first moved there from...

Today, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Mineral County, NV. Perhaps the locals will begin to pay attention!

The Safeway here in Hawthorne, NV put up shields a few weeks ago. This week, they close off one one set of doors forcing customers to enter on one side and exit on the other closest to the registers. That forced them to move where shopping carts are stored, taking up space in the area previously...

Governor Sisolak finally changed his phrasing of the emergency order he put in place for Nevada on 3/17 as Stay at Home last night, and activated the National Guard to assist in transporting essential items to where they are needed. It's about time. He also said that, for the time being, anyone...

This is a tough time for food service, and with food options at many grocery stores being limited, I see this more as a gesture of good will by YUMM Brands of saying "We are here to help." Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts to medical workers. There is a restaurant in my town providing free...

Our local CBS affilliate was running an apology as a banner during the opening moments of each program last weekend, apologizing for running ads for local businesses that had been ordered to shut down late that Friday afternoon. They must have been getting a ton of phone calls about it, but this...

Our small community hospital says they still do not have access to test kits, despite the high number of citizens experiencing flu-like symptoms.

I read that the producers of Grey's Anatomy are donating many of the real medical props they use on the show to local hospitals in the LA area, such as exam gloves, masks, and "scrubs."

Figures, after I just purchased a large bottle of Tylenol (which I never do as it usually has no effect on me).

Sorry to hear that, Dave.

Got back from Safeway. Still no TP, bottled water, bread, and now no flour or yeast so I can't even make my own bread.

I'm going to head out to Safeway a bit later today (maybe I'll snap a few photos) to pick up some supplies to bake my own bread, provided our bread maker that has been in storage for over a decade still functions.

The announcement did not specify, but I think it is more of a courtesy type thing than a strict rule.

Safeway has begun a policy of setting aside special hours for senior citizens and other at-risk groups - 6am to 9am Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Someone on the Hawthorne NV community FB page thought it was funny to report that looting had begun in Fernley (90 miles from Hawthorne and 25 miles from Reno/Sparks) and to "grab your guns." Not one of the local news stations had reported it, in fact all were running currently scheduled...

Chewy is running about a week behind in shipments and out of stock on many items including cat litter (!), so plan your orders and auto-ships accordingly!

Panic has settled in here in Hawthorne, NV, especially after the governor's press conference last night, ordering the mandatory closures of all non-essential business, including casinos, and limiting restaurants to take-out, curbside pick-up, and delivery. Of course, the community Facebook page...

I had to make a trip out to Fallon today, nearly 75 miles from my home, to get my windshield replaced (it got cracked in the last bit of snow we had), and possibly some shopping, as our local Safeway, Family Dollar, and Dollar General have been out of toilet paper and limited stock on bread and...

Lots of sick people here in Mineral County, NV, but no idea if any of us has or had the corona virus because our small rural community hospital does not have access to test kits.

And per The Hollywood Reporter, Cineworld has now announced that they are closing all of their Regal Cinema locations in the US effective tomorrow until further notice.

All schools K-12 in Nevada are closed thru at least April 6.

Speaking of China..... Ingenious kids under coronavirus quarantine manage to 'defeat homework' Those kids are too smart for their own good!

If you normally drink bottled water, it makes sense, especially if you end up getting quarantined.

I am just getting over the flu, and it was a doozy - knocked my wife and I on our butts for over a week. not sure if it was COVID-19 My birthday is coming up in two weeks, and the other night my wife asked me to let her know what I wanted for and if I wanted to go anywhere, as she needs a...
