Participated in a webinar early this morning, then took the walk. Thought I'd check on some stores.
First hit the supermarket. Plenty of produce. Shortage of some dairy products, but adequate supply of milk. Good supply of eggs, decent supplies of meat and chicken, good supply of seafood.
Still no paper products. Shelves thin in a number of areas. Not much bread, except for one brand going for $4.04 a loaf. Either this store isn't getting all their deliveries, or everything's still flying off the shelves. Store not that busy, around 8:20 a.m.
Walked by the donut shop. They are closing as of tomorrow, until 8 April.
On the way home went by the discount grocery store. They are only letting a few customers in at a time. Went to the door, employee looked at me but didn't open the door. Nobody else waiting outside to get in, didn't see many customers in the store. Makes no sense to me, but I buy little there anyway. Looks like they were getting in a shipment of eggs since I saw the truck going around the back, to the delivery area.
Not that much traffic in town. More on the freeway.
Now the golf courses have been closed. There are a bunch of major golf courses here, including Pebble Beach's courses.
Still believe the lockdown of the entire state is unwarranted. Looking at the latest on YouTube, there are just over 50,000 cases and just over 600 dead for a nation of 335 million. Read somewhere this morning that 80,000 people died in the USA last year of the regular flu. 23,000 have died between 29 September 2019 and the present. Yet no draconian measures were taken.
It's to the point now where I just don't believe anything the "authorities" say. And from what I have been seeing lately, looks like a lot of other people are doing the same.
Time to confine lockdowns only to the "hot" areas. Remember, those who mandate all these overly restrictive measures never miss a paycheck, and they don't give flying fuck one about all the hourly workers and their families, who must pay for the politicians' and "civil servants"' arrogance and utter lack of common sense, much less compassion. Luckily, President Trump is standing up for the hourly workers.
I could be wrong in my conclusions, but the numbers seem to back up those conclusions.
Monday have a routine medical appointment in a nearby city. Doctor's office is co-located with the county hospital. Should be interesting to see how things go, assuming the appointment actually happens.
