I think for us though this week is our worst yet -- they actually send out notifications (at least in our city) to avoid grocery shopping for the week.

Well, what was the point in this? Grocery stores have implemented safe practices just like everyone else. They are limiting the number of people that can come inside at one time, they can only enter one side and exit the other door, they put up plastic partitions in front of the cashers, and have you bag your own items if you bring in your own bags. Some of them also wipe down your buggy beforehand and provide wipes when you enter the store. It has got to be a pain wearing a mask all day long.

THANK YOU!!! I didn't understand this either because the few times I have gone to get groceries, they've done everything you've mentioned above. I can't speak for other places but the grocery store that's walking distance from my house also added an additional safe practice of not accepting cash for the time being. They're being extra careful so I just didn't understand it. Even when you look up any articles regarding this none of them mention a specific reason on why we need to be careful this week.

They are advising everyone to avoid going out (most commonly grocery stores) for the next 1-2 weeks because it appears the infection and death rate is peaking in the highest hit areas. This apex could go either way depending on our behavior. It could plateau now if we all isolate completely or it good increase exponentially if we slack. It's a critical time in the US outbreak.

Very true! I remember reading somewhere that both NY and CA started plateauing a few days ago. I guess this means that people are finally starting to listen. Although it's still too early to predict anything, let's hope people continue to stay in so that we can stomp this virus out, and get back to "regular" life sooner rather than later.

Back in September last year, Cookie told me I would be spending more time at home, and entertaining at home. To give some context, I HATE spending lots of time at home. I find it hard to work from home etc - I'm single, I like to be out and about...So, I asked her why, and she couldn't see.. The only thing I could think of was if I were ill.. but she didn't see that, she said I looked "relaxed" and would buy "a pot" and entertain at home. Anyway, All coming true now of course. The pot was a coffee pot :)
I spoke to her a few times recently. She sees the whole thing going on for 6-12 months. but when it first started, she told me she saw a bunch of bad things happening, not just this - ibut bad weather events also etc. In other words - it's bad for the whole year..

I think Kisha may have seen this pandemic in my last general email reading:
[In the next 6-12 months there is going to be a change to a contract or agreement that will bring a change you are not going to be prepared for. I am seeing the image of a tornado or cyclone that seems to pick up speed over time. This is going to be a situation that maybe brewing for a while, and the outcome is lingering and uncertain. Even though there is some warning because you will already know a change is possible you won’t know the magnitude or exactly when/if the change will occur. You will be made whole again after this unexpected change within a period of “4”. This could be 4 weeks after the news or possibly the month of April. It will be more of a brief blow, but not anything majorly devastating just disappointing more than anything. I do not know what this pertains to exactly other than a contractual change.
]
I'm not sure about the "contract" reference, but if you consider it in a more general term (as opposed to legal), the rest seems spot on. Considering this was from August 2019, even the timing (February to August 2020) is accurate. Kind of creepy. 😳
