[AT] The list is really quiet

[Mogrits]

We have 2 cases in our county, and my and my wifes business are deemed
essential so our lives go on except for shortages in the grocery store. We
are already sort of "preppers" so we can go a few weeks without most things.

When this is over and done with there are going to be a lot of questions
that need answering. I think curiosity to find the truth will depend on who
wins in the November election.

Meanwhile, I think most members of this list already practice "social
distancing", most of us even do that online. Be at least as vigilant as you
would be in flu season and we should be fine.
