I have had to spend time in a hospital, at a funeral home, and still must do a few more trips for things that have no online option. I have made the painful choice to delay his funeral, likely by MONTHS, in order to make sure that I don't put a single person at risk.

I hate being out. I worry about my own lungs as I'm asthmatic. I worry about getting my wife and children sick. So, please, be considerate. If you can, and most of you seem able to do so, order online as much as possible. Get what you need, but be responsible. Love one another. Enjoy what you have for now and let the rest go. Don't go out. Even if the risk to your own person is low, the harm you may inadvertently do... just think about it. And for what?

Everyone should act as if they have the virus themselves and want to protect anyone they might see or run into. Don't post the store sightings. Online sightings, however, go for it.

Be kind and love one another. Thanks for listening. Hug your loved ones.
