I wish you well, Dan, and will add you and your wife to my growing prayer list of those exposed and in quarantine. It becomes more real when people you've dealt with start being isolated.

I dont use ours because they tend to think news about cows and city back alleys and last weeks canasta tourny are headlines LOL. I kid ................. kinda.

It's getting closer to me as well. 5 confirmed cases in my home county, but now the county where I work and spend most of my "away-from-home" time has confirmed 2 cases (1 Friday and another Saturday). None of those people have been to places I frequent though. I really wish the hoarders would stop hitting the grocery store though! That's really the only thing about this outbreak that's affecting me negatively so far.

You are spot on regarding the hoarders. I only know of one COVID-19 case in my county.

Glad to be in rural NW WI but there are cases only 1 county away. I am able to work from home and we are only going to the store when we need something. I do have asthma though so it raises my concern a bit. We did order out food from our local sports bar the last 2 days trying to support the local business. I am hopeful we can get stocks of much needed medical supplies and find some drug to combat this quickly. It is really surreal. I have 11 rolls of toilet paper left so I am hoping the hoarding stops. If I get to 2 I may have to camp out in a parking lot to rush into the store when it opens.

I see that you have a Cal Ripken Jr. (namely 1995 Sportflix UC3) on your trade list I could send you a roll (or two) of the hard to find TP but I'm afraid that you just might "run-out" before it arrived...  Stay safe. (According to a recent "online calculator" which figures out your "requirement" for # of rolls depending on the size of your family they say 11 rolls should last a single person on average approx. 3 weeks but that's only a rough estimate.

120 in Dutchess County NY (where I live, and Dan as well) and 240 in Orange County, where Jerry lives and my brother works. Dutchess two days ago was around 30 confirmed. New York City- an hour and a half south- has more cases than some countries. The Javits Center and the Westchester County Center- which holds the card shows a few times a year- are being converted to makeshift hospitals.
-------------------------------
VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

My doctor just was chatting with me via text here in nowhere Canada and this was his words by quote .....
"Do not try to worry, I think we are doing the correct thing by shutting everything down. That is our best weapon, other than seeking the Lord in these very dangerous times."
This thing is EXTREMELY contagious. It is like the wild fires in Australia, we just can not catch up."
There is more of course but that is from my doctor, now imagine NYC, LA or Chicago. He alaso told me to firmly tell my daughter to not go to town anymore. I will heed his advice.
