Toilet Paper and Dungeness Crabs were Available at Food Maxx the Other Day

Toilet Paper, Paper Towel and Paper Napkins in Food Maxx Yesterday

For the first time in the last three weeks, Toilet Paper and Paper Towels were finally available at my favorite neighbor hood store ( Food Maxx) but purchase was limited to one per person.

In addition, Dungeness Crab was on Sale for only $4.98/lb ( regular price varies from $7.98 to $9.98 depending on availability and store) in our area. I purchased four 2.5lb-pound  freshly frozen whole crabs that Macrine and I enjoyed for dinner. With our dinner I cooked fresh okra sauteed in Shrimp Paste ( bagoong) with a tint of rice vinegar. It was yummy....

So in spite of of the Stay at Home Mandate ( except for essentials-grocery store, pharmacy and doctor appointments), I manage to escape from self quarantine yesterday. My cabin fever had been cured.

Macrine's caretaker ( Zapphire) insisted I wear a Face Mask and Gloves. We have plenty of gloves but no mask. However, Zapphire had an extra mask in her car and donated one to me.   

Posing with my mask on my way to the store. I took it off while driving and put it back inside the grocery store.

Here's the latest discussion/debate whether the public should wear mask or not:

"The question, then, isn’t whether the coronavirus is “airborne” in the tediously academic way the word has been defined. As the journalist Roxanne Khamsi puts it, the virus is “definitely borne by air.” The better questions are: How far does the virus move? And is it stable and concentrated enough at the end of its journey to harm someone’s health?"
