Haha great minds and in my case only have my cell phone to type makes me the early bird with far too many site glitches and a slow phone!  But yes, vodka as a hand sanitizer is hilariously expensive too.

Buying bottles of booze anywhere and telling everyone...its for medicinal purposes. No wonder it was trending.

So many threads so many posts no one can keep up with all of them anymore much less sleep deprived me .My info is being reposted too sometimes even by myself ?

Hi Michele!

I brought up the Tito's announcement too, but in the other virus preparation thread.  My friend noticed people at Costco buying Vodka and rubbing  alcohol and then she put two and two together.  ( Not any hand sanitizer left).  Tito's has a good sense of humor in how they have worded there announcements to the public. .  Imagine people buying vodka for health protection.  

 

I buy vodka for mental health!! Just as important. Also tequila - which has prebiotics reportedly.

Sometimes the only time I see something is if it is mentioned a second time.  I love that you found the same thing too Michele, especially since it is such an odd thing to find trending.

The border between the West Bank and Israel was closed by mutual agreement between Israel and the Palestinian authority after 7 people in Bethlehem contracted the virus.( Israel is dealing with it's own 17 person spread ).    Nobody is allowed to cross into or out of the city.  This closure happened without warning trapping a group of Americans (and likely others)  in a Hotel in Bethlehem until further notice. They are pretty afraid.

Two schools in my town just closed due to a parent who tested positive. The parent had attended a conference where 4 people tested positive. This is a Boston suburb.

"They're here."

This doesn't 't surprise me, but to see it in big bold letters as a headline on CNN is a bit jarring.

Older Americans are advised to stay home.

Amid a coronavirus outbreak in the United States, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is encouraging older people and people with severe chronic medical conditions to "stay at home as much as possible."

This advice is on a CDC website that was posted Thursday, according to a CDC spokeswoman.
Early data suggests older people are twice as likely to have serious illness from the novel coronavirus, according to the CDC.
 
The CDC guidance comes as two top infectious disease experts with ties to the federal government have advised people over 60 and those with underlying health problems to strongly consider avoiding activities that involve large crowds, such as traveling by airplane, going to movie theaters or concerts, attending family events, shopping at crowded malls, and going to religious services.

i am in Suffolk county. A little scary and yet not surprised with the jump of 44 to 76 now infected. With the subways and mass transit we have between Long Island and the boroughs.
