Keeping the schools closed makes sense to me. If I had children, I wouldn't be in a rush to have them go back. Easy for me to say, I suppose.
I hadn't read/heard that the virus can live on surfaces like plastics for that long! Scary. Do you have any more information about that?
My main anxiety, other than worrying about my parents (who are older, one has MS requiring home-care, and they are on the other side of the country from me) is the availability of medication. I was on another forum this week and read that pharmacies are limiting refills on almost everything (including insulin) to 1 month rather than the regular 3. I don't take insulin but am on a medication that is as necessary; I cannot go without it.
On a completely different note, no baby yet for our nephew and his GF. He must be quite cozy in there!
I started my
tomato seeds for the upcoming season yesterday. My plan had been to wait until April, but I needed a pick-me-up yesterday.
