corona lockdown day 26

In a weird twist I woke up at 5am today. It was too dark to go for a jog so I took a day off as I don't like to jog after I have eaten so I had a bite to eat and did some reading. Revelation 18 was fitting

“The traders will cry and carry on because the bottom dropped out of business, no more market for their goods: gold, silver, precious gems, pearls; fabrics of fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet; perfumed wood and vessels of ivory, precious woods, bronze, iron, and marble; cinnamon and spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine and oil, flour and wheat; cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots. And slaves—their terrible traffic in human lives.
Everything you’ve lived for, gone!
    All delicate and delectable luxury, lost!
    Not a scrap, not a thread to be found!
I took my shower and headed out to FB before work. There weren't a lot of people there. There were still a lot of shortages. So despite saying that the supply chain is strong, it is not strong here. Maybe Toronto is better. There was not much meat so they were putting limits on that. Baking supplies, toilet paper, Kleenex still with empty shelves. I tied to buy enough juice for the week (10 cans) and was told that there was a limit of 4. I think the lady made it up on the spot. But whatever, their store their rules. It does mean more trips to the store but I understand they want to keep enough for everyone. Just the juice shelves were full not like other things that they were limiting. I don't mind making more trips at all, just I thought they weren't wanting to encourage that.

However, Kingston is doing better than other areas in COVID cases. Around the 43 mark we were neck and neck with Niagara. Now we are at 54 and they are at 143. Maybe the lack of food keeps our numbers low.

Though there is someone in our Rustle community who is being tested now as they are testing for community transmission. It is probably not likely as it started with an ear infection but I guess they are being careful.

It was still pretty chilly but there was some sun so I hung the laundry out. As I was taking it in, the bunny hopped into the lawn. Nice to see it again.
