I've been ordering groceries from Walmart for about a year now. Since the virus happened they have very little in stock. HEB had about everything I ordered. Great store. I ordered yesterday to pick up on Tues.

We had our 3rd case of the virus yesterday, the second one that is a client at this special needs facility here. I'd be willing to bet that most if not all of the clients there were exposed. Both are in their 40's.

My wife works at Sam's and she is able to get groceries. Thursday she was told that there is an employee with symptoms that has taken the test. Due to HIPAA they won't even say who it is. So my wife thinks some about 3 workers she hasn't seen in awhile.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Texas-to-enforce-quarantine-orders-to-Louisiana-15164996.php

Gov. Greg Abbott is tightening travel to Texas by ordering some motorists from Louisiana to self-quarantine for two weeks.

The new travel restrictions come as Louisiana's status as a novel coronavirus hotspot grew Sunday to more than 3,500 positive cases statewide. Abbott said drivers with commercial, medical, emergency response, military or critical infrastructure purposes for entering Texas would be exempted.

State troopers will enforce the order at checkpoints at major roadways along the border. Those asked to quarantine will be asked to provide an address for where they plan to hold up in Texas, either for two weeks or until their return to Louisiana, whichever is comes first.

I went to the local Fiesta grocery store this morning during the Seniors Only 7-8AM time. I didn't go down every isle as I only needed a few things. I did notice that ginger was almost completely gone. I didn't go down the bread or water isles. It appeared, for what I saw, except for the ginger, that the store was fully stocked. There were only about a half dozen customers.

Some moron traveled to a funeral and got the Wuhan virus, came back to Kerrville, and went to Peterson Regional. They were sent home to isolate. First case in Kerr County, where I go to shop.

San Antonio, Texas, officials report that 66 of 84 residents of a local nursing home are infected with the Coronavirus (COVID-19). On Wednesday, the total in the facility sat at 14. One elderly man died earlier this week.

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg broke the news on Thursday that 66 residents of the Southeast Nursing and Rehabilitation Center tested positive for COVID-19.

In addition to the 66 infected patients, 11 others received negative test results and two tests were inconclusive. One man in his 80s died earlier this week.

Officials reported that at least six employees also tested positive.

There are a total of 196 people hospitalized for the wuhan in the entire state of Texas. And for this, we cancel all medical screening, elective procedures, dental appointments and close all the gyms for soon-to-be-formerly healthy people. And as a bonus, destroy the economy.

My job was to cover the coronavirus pandemic, until I became part of it
Lola Gomez
Posted Apr 3, 2020 at 5:01 AM Updated at 3:34 PM

I know how to prepare for a disaster.

My first job as a photojournalist was in Florida, where on top of weathering hurricanes, I covered them. When the coronavirus began to get close to the United States, I thought I was ready. I had food, medicine and first-aid kits to get me through.

But nothing could have prepared me for the pandemic weâ€™re now experiencing, including my own positive COVID-19 test. ...

That night I developed a fever of nearly 102 degrees, but in the morning it was gone. The next night, the fever came again, and suddenly the pain in my body was unbearable, as if a truck had hit me. Twice. ...

My chest was completely shut down, my body going numb from low oxygen levels. I felt as if an elephant were sitting on my chest. That moment was absolutely terrifying. I truly believed I was about to die. ...

She wrote, "Iâ€™m normally a healthy 42-year-old. I run at least 6 miles every day, take good care of myself and donâ€™t smoke," but did acknowledge she has a history of asthma.

And that is why this isn't "just the flu"... And if only 1 in 50 who get this virus respond this badly it is still playing the lottery going out in the presence of other people. None of us know how our bodies will respond until it happens. And if the hospital where this person lives was totally overrun at the time she got this she would probably be dead now. That is why it is so important that infections be spread out enough to keep beds open for those who need them.

The massive economic damage would have come regardless of the government shutting things down. People would be staying home to avoid this fate either way. When people stay home many businesses go out of business.

We just have to do the best we can and live with the consequences.

I think that to be a wholly emotional response.
