Hmmm....  .  Being diabetic, you should be automatic for testing.  Of
course, to get this thing under control, as is being acknowledged now,
widespread testing with tracking of contacts and follow-up is needed.

Bonnie and I have just stayed home, except I go to the PO each Friday.  We
have rural mail delivery, but there have been mail thefts out here, so we
got a PO box.  We also ordered groceries and I picked up in parking lot.
People still were not wearing masks much from what I could tell on Monday
when I got the food.

Washington is said to be one of the states where early response was better
than most, and the epidemic is supposedly ebbing.  We'll see, I guess.

Your feet may have been a diabetic thing.  Blood sugar jumps up when sick,
right?  If Bonnie gets a cold, her sugar jumps.  Glad the feet are are
better.

Stay healthy folks, mcneely
