    My mom's a rn at local nursing home and they told her to take her ID everywhere so if she gets stopped can show she's goin to and from work.

    Nothing here, I'll be going to work this week and staying at home otherwise.

    In all honesty, I do not expect the stay at home order here in IL to have any impact. Hell, Game Stop declared them an essential business and will remain open. Didn't realize they could self declare.

    I'm half wondering if these half attempts at state issued self quarantines were not encouraged so it would be easier for the federal shut down due to high risk states not taking it upon themselves.

    I had a lingering sinus headache and knew that’s what it was but in the back of my mind I couldn’t help but wonder what if. 2 excedrine migraine and about 40 oz of water later and I’m all good

    None here. Wife and I came down with something about 3 weeks ago that match all the symptoms and she was tested for flu that came back negative. We are wondering if we've already had it or just some similar virus. Idk. I stayed home 5 days. Nobody around us caught it. We do pretty good keeping our distance from others when sick, but who knows. Lockdowns are beginning in counties near us. We are hunkering down, staying calm and scrubbing hands like Hawkeye and Hunnicut.

    Honest question... what the hell are we supposed to do to get TP around here? I’ve made trips to Walmart, coborns, Cub foods, and fleet farm numerous times. Every time 0 TP. Haven’t went when they first open yet tho. We have enough, but damn. Going to suck once we are out in a month or 2. Luckily we always bought it before when it was on sale and have a lot on stock.

    Nothing here yet. Had the first cases reported in my county, the county to the south and the next county to the west in KS just today.

    Glad I live in a town where it is made and know many people at the factory. Opps, this batch doesn't meet specs-can't well this batch.

    Cases in my county have not increased.

    Despite having two larger hospitals between Chicago and St. Louis, infected remains 4, 3 locals and 1 from elsewhere.

    Pending cases continue to go negative rather than positive which is good. Think there was 16 tests pending result as of this afternoon.

    I think they should shut things down for 2 weeks, stop the news channels as well, and just have everyone hunker down and watch whatever. 2 weeks with just solitude and family, no news and just see what happens. Bet the results would be better than 2 weeks from now will be.

    Yes it does suck and I am done getting up at 5 am with my hopes up. Not out but trying to secure stock. I have an online order on the way but do not trust it.

    Hopefully just pollen as the oaks are leafing out and red buds are still blooming - my indication it is likely allergies.

    Our county has at least 77 cases, roughly 1/3 of the state.

    My neighbors test came back negative. She met all requirements for the test. Our governor (J.B Prickster) said we can still go for walks and hikes. I’m headed out to scout and find some sheds.

    Good to hear folks showing no symptoms, my county still has 3. Look at Michigan the richest counties have the highest numbers(travel). We do not have a lot of international business here in our county.

    Hey 1 more week and I get to see my grandson, had my first FaceTime conversation ever. Talked to him yesterday, never thought hearing babbling on the phone would make me smile.
