Escaping the Contagion of Mass Panic

[MateoBeach]

Left town to escape the contagious panic. Now in Death Valley where the craziness holds no sway. Headed to southern Arizona and New Mexico. Riding my ADV bike, my wife and dog in the RV behind me. Motorhome is well stocked but restaurants have all been open and friendly. Happy and feeling free.

All the citizens stampeding out to the desert to scape the virus has caused all those ground squirrels to stampede back towards the city.

Sadly right into the hands of all the people holed up in their house ...with grocery stores with empty shelves .... can you say deep dish hasenpfeffer ..... I have 5 tasty looking fox squirrels right in my back yard .....

All local restaurants ,bars , pubs .. Clubs ... casinos , theaters ... schools ... everything but grocery stores ,ordered closed to public. gas stations and pharmacies and a few others still open too. Local Tower District totally empty tonight for st. Patrick’s Day feast ...usually 10s of 1000s of party goers there. Streets empty lights off ... never happened before in my 40 year history here. Food deliveries from businesses still ok. I went to Kaiser today for Lupron shot .... Kaiser nearly empty, asking most people to stay away, set up for emergency triage. normally crowded streets and shopping centers nearly empty ... never saw anything like it before .... there are millions of people here, 1.2 mil in the local metro alone ...... someplace. People older than 65 “ ordered “ ( whatever that means ) to stay home and not go out.

Tv saying virus could last until July or August now .... or longer. Dunno how this is going to play out .... seems incomprehensible. 4 new cases of the virus in the next county this evening on the news. Only a few cases around here in town so far but very little to zero testing taking place , likely many more. This is messy and only looking like it’ll get worse ...

Yikes 😱

All the mustangs in the corral at mustang ranch have 8 legs. My favorite is named “ penicillin “ but “ ole yellow “ is a favorite too. Saw a piece on TV in last couple days said the management at the ranch is requiring visitors to wear N95 rated face masks due to coronavirus and all. ... very complimentary and stylish with the trademark “ lone ranger “ eyewear they already use. 😂

Thanks for the info.... I'm going to wear Trojan masks....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

That’s a good brand ... I use the more affordable “ rub-ber rite “ brand... Or even more affordable “ head-lite “ brand ... they come in “ high “ beams and “ low “ beams ... the high beams are the masks .

😁😁😁😁
