..I'm there with you, fixed income here (SS) and no vehicle as well as a tiny flat (not much storage), so all my shopping is done on foot. Thankfully there's a supermart only three blocks away.
Fortunately people at the market tend to be a little less prone to fighting over things. Don't ever want to go to a Walmart from what I've seen.
They are saying ibuprofen and NSAIDs exacerbate Covid-19, so please take Tylenol instead.
I do have Tylenol. Thanks for the info. I'm not sick yet, but that is good to know for the future.
I looked into having groceries delivered from my local grocery store, but it turns out everyone had the same idea, and they aren't taking on new customers for their delivery program.
The comment about Ibuprofen: There are false stories circulating about non steroidal anti-inflammatories exacerbating the effects. Before promulgating this further please refer to trusted sources of information like this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/51929628 rather than untrustworthy sources of dis-information initiated by malicious people who wish to create harm and scare people.

My wife gets involved with the local homeless quite a bit through her church. Most of the homeless she deals with have difficulty finding enough food (though not Alchohol or drugs) even at the best of times.
My heart goes out to them because the twice a week hot food, hot drink & prayer sessions in the Church are being cancelled and replaced with an open door but no hot food/drink. My feeling is who needs the food & drink more than the homeless? And who is most likely to be vulnerable & need other people to be aware of their plight? Few of our local homeless survive to the age of 55, and by that age the toll on their bodies from their way of life makes them look as if they're in their late 80's. Not good, and I think the virus is going to take a disproportionate toll on them once it finally gets into their population.

Richard
Sainsburys supermarkets in the UK are now restricting customers to 3 of any food item, and 2 of any toiletries item. Evidently, if people won't behave reasonably, they have to be forced into it.
Mine preppers is for 90 days only. One week already gone. 83 days remaining. Though there is no report of infection within 450 km or 279 miles inside my country. Now I am thinking I preppered too early. Our psychology is based on cleaning with water from ancient times instead of wiping therefore toilet paper is not an issue. Only food and some daily requirement items toothpaste, soap etc. Though I will probably miss potato chips etc.
I lucked out again. I take ibuprofen and aspirin now and then for joint and muscle pain and blood thining, but when I have a headache (not infrequently these days), I take Tylenol which seems to manage my headaches better. But a while back I bought a resupply of everything but then discovered I already had an extra bottle of Tylenol that had gotten shoved to the back of a high shelf.
And my cats are volubly telling me that they need more than 3 boxes of food as there are 2 of them and their human only shops once a fortnight online
Mzzkiti: "I don't suppose you have another one of those suits, would you?"
Meh, the bit is (arguably) funnier when one realizes the fellow in the haz-mat suit (another character from my years comatose web comic) wears it all the time as he's something of a hypochondriac.
Sincerely,
Bill
We realize this is a difficult and stressful time for many around the world and we want to give you all a space in which you can find support and community. In order to help with that, we do request that you keep from posting things that could create panic, anger, frustration, or provoke disputes. There are a lot of facts out there but there are also a lot of questions still unanswered and the last thing we want to do is cause anyone additional stress or potential harm. Support each other as this community has always done, treat each other with respect and kindness, but please use care in what you share and how you speak with each other as you do not know what the person on the other side of the screen may be going through.
No fear, I know the drill.
Our three cats get through 160 pouches every 2 weeks. That's 4 boxes of 40. One of our cats can eat up to 15 off 100gram pouches in a day. He never puts weight on either... He's so busy, busy, busy. OK, he's a Maine Coon, is 3ft7" from nose to tip of tail and weighs about 14lb.
I watch fish videos instead and comment to myself how much they look like fish. Wait they are fish because it is a fish video.
I am bummed because I have no ride to work so income is just not there.
Mine are actually quite happy to live on the dry stuff I buy (we went through half a dozen different brands before they found one they really liked) and just have one of the small 50gm pouches morning and evening. Plus Dreamies of course, and human food scrounge, especially if it ham or bacon or chicken and ooh is that a king prawn you have there
they are indoor cats.
I would love to have a coony cat, but don't think these two little ladies would approve somehow.
My pets love goldfish flake food, but then they are very fishy.
" I a little spell that came my way , to help bring good thing your way.
May your troubles be less and your blessing be more
Our family send your love and blessing
Unlike the gone with the wind, some of us are ready for them.
Give our cats too many cruchy bits & one of them is sick. Usually on our bed. And we usually don't notice until it has largely soaked in. Urrgh.
We got our Maine Coon as a kitten, and it's still hard to see him as the size cat he really is, we still just see an oversized kitten instead. We had a Maine Coon who was rather bigger but he died just before he was 3, and he was a magnificent creature. If you're interested I wrote a little obituary for him here: http://www.chestnutpens.co.uk/misc/gryff.html

To lighten the mood up a bit, I watched a compilation of Facebook Q&A of the Police of the Slovak Republic (our neighbours). They have the patience of a saint and a good sense of humour.
This one is really hillarious:
Q: My boyfriend returned from the Netherlands and must go to 14 days quarantine. If he does not want to stay with his parents, can he stay with me?
A: Yes. You will spend 14 days together and then you will either split up, or we will provide an escort for you to the maternity hospital in December.
And to restore a little faith in humanity - hats off to our Vietnamese community.
They launched an initiative among their members who run small groceries - many have marked their shops with red hearts (often hand drawn by their kids), signalling that health workers, soldiers, and the members of the fire brigade and the police corps can come and get a free coffee, tea or even a snack, because the options to get such things are now very limited. They also make custom face masks and some were already handed over to the local health care facilities in the direst need of those.
Reminds me of what I woud tell people when they asked what preperations I was making for Y2K ( anyone rermember that?) When they were telling me what they were doing and asked what I was doing, I would tell them "I am collecting ammunition and addresses". That seemed to hush them up
I know one thing I am not doing is to go see a movie in a theater. (the movie theater near my home is not open is the main reason.)
Ya Y2K luckily turned out to be unfounded scare. But this pandemic has real potential to be come something this world has not experienced since the black plague.
What concerns us more is not people that are hungry & looking for help, our group prepared to take is some of those people willing to work with us. But if thing were to go on & last longer than they expect say a year. and the nations around the world start to go into to collapse . then our HUGE concern is the roving gangs preying on the weak & un-expecting people , stealing and looting resources. Think Mad Max.
Our group remembered what happen during hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. That's not going to happen in our area I guarantee it . we may been called crazy hill billy rednecks cling to our guns and bibles. . But we will definitely will show exactly how tactical we can be protecting the community. our group is a community is family , there will be no Katrina in this area or in our holler
It was a message from France's health minister, not some random tweet, but your point is well taken.
update....WHO has now issued a warning saying the same thing. I just don't want people getting hurt.
My six kitties (and my doggie) are all unfortunately on prescription food that I have to order from the vet and it's wicked expensive (thankfully my mom works there and gets a discount...she can't ever retire). Two have IBD and one has urinary crystals and this food covers them all. The other three just eat it because they're grazers and it's the only way we can ensure the ones who need it will eat the right stuff. We ordered ahead a bit, but we can't order too far out into the future because dry food does expire.
Like others have said, I'm going to have to curb my Daz spending for a while. I feel so very lucky and blessed that I work remotely for a huge p and c insurance company, and I'm thinking that industry will be one of the last to see a negative impact from all that is going on. We've already sent all people who were still working in offices home to work remotely, and for now, it's business as usual. Even so, it's only smart for me to try and save as much as I can while I can, just in case. I really, really feel for anybody who's job has been impacted by all this. I can't imagine how scary all that is, compounded with the overarching health fears.
I want to go singing loudly and off key "yesterday" with messed up lyrics.
Thank you Daz Moderators for giving us some leniency and tolerance so our art family can stay & remain together, some of us here have made close relationships and even some business partnerships and called The Daz forums home we appreciate that more than you will ever know . Your request shall be respected. Take care yourself Richard and the daz family
Honestly, a two week fast wouldn't hurt me a bit. I might come out of it the proper weight, Got two weeks worth of vitanins and water.
I just hope the economy picks up and people can keep their jobs
