Hey bob. “They” being the local or federal government? 2 months ago I thought it was silly to wear masks and was waiting for “they” to tell us what precautions to take. So I held off on a mask. Then they say masks are very helpful and it can be caused by just breathing near someone else.

Now I wear a mask and gloves to grocery stores. Now I have a system where (or were?) I take things I buy and disinfect all surfaces before I put it away. I take off my shoes at the front door and disinfect the soles. I try to keep my windows open. I avoid walking down the same aisle if someone is there. I wash my hands 25 times a day. I don’t let my dog sniff the trash/food on the streets when I walk her. I’m not meeting in person with clients. I stagger the days I work so that I am in there when as little co-workers are there.

These are just my rules. I live in a very condensed area.

I’m responsible for my own familiy’s safety and plan of attack.

I’m lucky, I still make good money, working at the same place for almost 15 years I can afford to work when I want to.

Others aren’t so fortunate to have resources at their disposal. My kids school up the street has a huge never ending line of families getting their free lunch. If you’re in a rural area, you’re fortunate but I would still be very meticulous when I go outside.

Stay safe, stay smart.
