More serious than I may have thought

Again ... this is a bit off topic. Just an update on what's happening here.

The local nursing home went into lockdown a few days ago. Nobody in or out except employees.



Wal-Mart & Hannaford's disinfecting products are out of stock w/ no set time for a re-stock. Our store has a pallet of cleaning products on order.

First confirmed case of Corona virus here in Maine today.

Apparently, there's some kind of quarantine at one of the nearby schools over on the mainland. ( unconfirmed )

University of Maine, Colby, and Bowdoin colleges have instructed all students not to return from spring break.

More on topic:

Metals shouldn't be a problem but it might be wise to refrain from curb shopping for awhile.

I been curb shopping all week .... I figured, no people-to-people interaction.... so low risk... but I guess it can live on hard surfaces for a while so maybe I should reconsider for next week.... I got enough stuff to sort and take apart anyways
