Well, thought I'd write about this quarantine. Out here on the prairie it is quiet this morning. The fog is thick, making it difficult to see out into the fields. The sounds of the big rigs out on the highway is a distant hum of tires on asphalt.
Walked to the gate in the fog and mist, the sound of a mini rain storm falling to the ground from the branches of the Huisache and Mesquite trees. Unlocked the gate so that my father in law can get into the property. He is coming over this morning to plow a garden area for me...just in case this thing goes longer, I'd like food to be growing.
On the agenda today is working at the library for a bit to get last minute details of canceling the fundraiser completed, and take in some returned books.
Then back home to finish laundry, and hook up the HAM/CB radioes.
Also on the list this week is to find all the pieces to the meat grinder, get the loft ready for company, fill water containers, install water collection system, move the fridge to cover the front window, clean and organize kitchen/bedroom, plant garden, and care for livestock.
While, I am not worried about illness, I am worried about the government response, and the potential for economic collapse. Thankfully, we are pretty well situated and can be home probably until the end of the year. So thankful we are self sufficient enough and incoming funds can be kept at a minimum due to having limited bills.
Our county has no cases of the virus yet. San Antonio went on "mandatory" lock down at midnight last night. I do not know how mandatory it is with all the exceptions for work. I am of two minds. People should willing stay home to avoid any spread, and two it isn't the government's responsibility to violate liberties.
The talk on the news and online is all of new cases, and few deaths. No mention ever of the 100,000 that have recovered. They thrive on the doom and gloom it seems.
No N95 masks available, though I find it hard to believe. Neighbors are sewing cloth masks for healthcare workers to wear over the few available. These at least can be changed, washed and sterilized.
Since we homeschool, we aren't affected by the school closures like the majority of others. Maybe this will open the eyes of people and they will realize that public school is not necessary.
