Do something positive, but only if you are negative

From the looks of store shelves, there are a lot of people that are frightened of this virus.

I have reached out to my more senior friends and family, and let them know that if they have any concerns about going out to a store or pharmacy, that I will be happy to be their delivery service for as long a necessary.  No doubt there are other things we can do for folks, and any recommendations would be welcome.

Right or wrong, there is panic being generated by the reporting of this virus.  Easing this burden on those most at risk is something positive we can do as individuals.

    I have always helped my senior neighbors and see no reason to quit.  One acquaintance is among the most positive and cheerful people I have ever met......he avoids TV, radio, and newspapers.

    Willing to help you with your efforts Don.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Appreciate it, Randy, but we are covered.

    This was just a reminder to folks that the most important thing we can do as individuals is to take care of those around us.

    You're a good man, Mr. McManus.  
    We should all strive to do as much.

    Agree but dang hard to complete a shopping list for the elderly when the shelves are bare. Sooner rather than later I figure people are going to run out of money, reach their credit limit, or have no place else to stash the TP and hopefully it will calm down some.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Our schools are closed. I volunteered to deliver meals to children two days a week.

    We have a Feeding America Coming up Thursday. We have   passed out  a 20-30lb box of  food to the  needy in the  County every month.
    Last time it  was  300 or so Car loads. I anticipate there will be at least 600 waiting to  have a box.  Some will need it  but  a lot will not.   But  It's free.  Just have to be a  resident of the County.

    I helped an elderly lady across the street one day and then she beat me up with her handbag. Turns out she wasn't wanting to cross the street.
