I finally have most of my COVID-19 supplies.

My sanitizing wipes arrived today, while I received a ton of hand sanitizer at the beginning of the month to last me a long time. Also, I was finally able to order more Disinfectant Spray today, while I ordered N95 masks from China that arrived last week.

It's been pure hell trying to get this stuff though, especially the wipes and spray. Walmart's been re-stocking them frequently, but if you're not diligently refreshing their page ready to pounce, they sell out immediately.

Only thing I need to do now is replenish my supply of nitrile gloves.

BTW, when I do go out, I only do so when stores first open or when they're getting ready to close. I have zero time and patience for stupid.

For what it's worth, QuickTrips have been providing Hand Sanitizer at checkout... Well.. the lesser congested ones have atleast. That's where I've been getting mine. I basically had someone make me a mask for $8 per mask on NextDoor.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a lesser congested QuikTrip.

They're starting to build them in Austin and they're not as crowded as the ones in Atlanta yet.... It may be worth the 1,000 mile drive to drop by for some hand sanitizer

I'm heading back tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately my closing plans fell through but I'm hoping my client makes it through without dieing. Probably coming back in June.

He's on a ventilator right now.

This virus isnt a joke. I wish people would take this a bit more seriously.
Wow. I agree with the precautions. I understand people want to be out and about, but use some common sense. I don’t wear a mask outdoors, but indoors outside of my home I do. I went to a sporting good store and I was one of the few people with a mask. I estimate maybe 10 to 20% wore them.

Maybe look into a good uv light. I understand you can sanitize things with it. I saw a doctor on YouTube showing a box lined with foil to reflect the up light he put inside of it. He was using it to sterilize the masks. Be careful with it though, it can be hazardous if used improperly.

I went into Sprouts and most people in there were wearing them. I drove through Avalon (didnt get out my car) and also decided to chew some time away in Dahlonega and Helen, almost noone in those areas were wearing them and they were socially congregating like it was a normal day. Helen is beautiful though. I havent seen it in some time. I wanted to get out and do more than just drive through it but I didnt feel safe about doing that.

I use fabric masks, dish soap, and hot water... then hang it for a night to dry.

Because of reports of a second wave for COVID, I went ahead and took an antibodies test since I never experienced any COVID symptoms while sheltering in place. For anyone interested, it seems that a number of companies have a two-tiered process, which is just scheduling it a day in advance after confirming personal information. I went through LabCorp, and there was no wait and the $10 cost is covered by most insurances. I received my negative confirmation literally within 24 hours. With everything going on, I wanted to add social distancing activities to my day so I can have some sanity in friends's company and wanted to do so responsibly.

Default Someone broke into my car.

Came back to finally finish up some business after things reopened. Checked in my hotel then went out to finally eat after a 16 hour drive and came back out to find this...



They stuffed the window under the car hoping I wouldnt notice too.

Anyway I'm waiting on Gwinnett County PD now. Unfortunately businesses nearby had no cameras.

Now I'm also stuck here until I can get the glass repaired.
