I wonder if/how the hospitals in the area have prepared for the Pandemic; since we bought time during those months we spent in lock-down so they could stock up and get ready for this?? I wonder how local hospitals spent that time? How many Ventilators around here? Just how ready are Hospitals for this in a community, specially built for Seniors, which this virus targets? I hope forward-thinking is being applied. This might need to be another thread?

I do not want to get who-knows-how sick even if it doesn’t kill me.
Hmm, I wonder what happened to the mobile hospital units that were installed when this started? I think that since there was no use for them, they were taken down but I am not sure. They didn't even use them in NYC. We had some in FL also but I have not heard that they were utilized. I guess it is nice to be over prepared and not need it, rather than under prepared and need it.
