Canned goods and MRE's for the win!
So, that was you! No worries. I'll just have to act faster when the next pandemic hits.And don't worry about the screaming. It helps keep the lungs clear.
Good perspective, Galaxy.
Nah, I perer to be shot climing bout of a mistress's wndow by a jealous husband, when I am 138 years old. That will give me another 80 years or so
No MRE's Nasty to much salt. freeze dried, dehydrated, smoked or Canned. we been planting our garden all week finely got everything in after the cold weather broke. traded a couple dozen fresh eggs for some milk and cream which i made some homemade churned Pumpkin Pie Ice cream with it
Stay safe and live like you mean it
...believe me you don't.
As I mentioned people from neighbouring states are likely heading there to have a little "fun which is still prohibited in their states. Michigan and Illinois are still in the thick of things with the virus with Illinois having it's largest increase in infections only a couple days ago. They will be moving to "stage 3" of their reopening policy around the 29th. Stage 4, which includes restaurants, bars, and gatherings of 50 or less people, will not take effect for 28 days after that. so Wisconsin will be an enticing destination for a at least another month..
...one of my favourite composers, Louis Vierne passed away at the console of the Notre Dame Organ in Paris after completing a recital (his 1,750th). On another occasion a member of the kite flying community I admired and met on a couple occasions passed on while performing a sport kite routine at a festival in Michigan. I figured one of those two would be the way to go.
More likely it will be because of some idiot who is texting while at the wheel of a pointless "luxury" SUV (like a Mercedes, Lexus, or Cadillac) that jumps the curb where I am standing waiting for a bus.
I'd like to pass away in my sleep peacefully, like my uncle did...
..not screaming and panicked, like the passengers in the bus he steered.
...and, now for something completely silly.

...we'll see what happens in 4 - 10 days there.
If you are diabetic, that makes you more vulnerable. I know its hard, but after reading and watching/hearing accounts of people who suffered through the virus and managed to recover, you really don't want to experience what they did.
Apparently, low vitamin D levels makes you more vulnerable to the worst effects (the Cytokine Storm). My Dr. had advised me to take a supplement anyway, as mine was low, before any of this started. So I make sure I take more now.

...hmmm, I tend to have a fair number foods rich with vitamin D in my diet ,like fish (cod, rockfish light tuna, herring) and diary (milk, cheese, sour creme, ice creme). Not big on salads but I do a lot of Asian cuisine that is rather plant based and also like mushrooms (white, crimini., and portabella). The two I don't do are eggs (particularly the yolks) and salmon (what kind of person lives in the Northwest and doesn't eat salmon?) because of food allergies/sensitivities. Really not into taking a fistful of pills every morning if I can avoid it.
When things calm down a bit more so I can make a non emergency appointment for a general exam and BC test, I'm going to get checked out.
The one downside, I live in western Oregon so not a lot of sun until about mid - late June through September (the whole next week until Saturday will be gloomy and wet). Unfortunately the places that get more sun in this country are either undesirable (like the desert southwest, Florida, or southern Texas), or expensive (Hawai'i, southern half of California, Austin) Also like being able to get my CBD for my arthritis without having to jump through a bunch of hoops (or possibly not at all).
I can't eat seafood of any kind so I do supplement my diet with 5,000 IU's of D3 every day!
I am the same way as you. I have a low vitamin D Level and was told to take supplements back a couple of years ago. though i don't understand why my vitamin d is so low, i spend a lot of time out doors I eat lots of leafy greens veggies I guess my body does not take it in like it use to or something., But yea I read that same article about low d levels cause higher morbidities with patients with covid-19 they also have reports about how children are being effected not so much by the flu part of it but the side effects causing kidney and liver damage big red swollen toes etc. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-what-happens-to-the-body-after-contracting-the-coronavirus#Other-organs-affected-by-COVID-19
scary to think if the flu does not get you the side effects will. all the more reason to avoid getting this horrible,horrible virus
...one of the other articles in that link also mention Vitamin K as helping metabolise Vitamin D better, however that's how to get started on the "fistful of supplements" thing.
OTC supplements are also not cheap and not usually covered by most medical insurance since they are not regarded as "medications".
I tend to trust nutritionists as much as I trust psychiatrists. Because there are so many of them who think they're right and have written books nullifying everything their compatriots say.
Oh good lord yes...I take what I would consider "basic" supplements and I literally have a pile on my desk when all is said and done. Probably about 20 pills (6 of which is my omega 3 supplement by itself). I can only take a couple pills in one swallow and it's a bit daunting to get through the whole pile every day. I don't even want to know how much I spend altogether.
I'm a big fan of Jarrow products. Also yes, I take Vitamin K every day. You can get D from the sun but I don't spend allot of time in the sun so that's not good enough!

...I actually have osteoarthritis.
I would like to hope I have enough of those foods in my diet though having to watch cholesterol (as well as having certain allergies/sensitivities) some of those are not on my list.

My wife went for a walk round the cemetery yesterday. It was a lot less busy than the park, so she felt happier with that. It was telling that there were 5 graves dug for use today. Never once before this pandemic have we seen more than one.
Another render about 2020

I’m already taking like 20 herbs and supplements and just ordered more on Amazon. I eat really healthy and organic, vegetarian except for fish and seafood and stay away from processed foods, too much sugar and empty carbohydrates but if these things can boost immunity even more and prevent cancer and premature aging, why not? It’s a pain to take them all but worth it. I’ve always been into good nutrition and supplements and I see I’m so much healthier than most of my friends. Many already have liver, cholesterol, and even heart problems! Good nutrition is so important and I spend a lot of time on Healthline.com researching all the supplements. Ginger and curcumin are two good ones that have little to no side effects and have a multitude of benefits. NAC, astragalus and green tea extract are also some good ones.
Here is a something to think about, why do they call it social distancing instead of physical distancing? Being social does not require close proximity to occur, this thread is proof that you can be social from multiple time zones and countries away. Everything they are advocating would be indicative of physical distancing in staying 6 feet apart and all that.
Only the old people think that way (i.e. logically).
"Social" is a new buzz-word. I suspect that to the young, "social" has more impact than "physical".
In a few years, I believe that the word "social" will be on a list of overused, outmoded words.
Well I am in the "Over 50" crowd.
