Day 6 Of Coronavirus Shut Down

Hey everyone. I hope you all are doing well and hanging in there. We are on day 6 of the Coronavirus shut down.

Today when I woke up the first thing I did was go to the grocery store. I had a couple things I needed to pick up for dinners and what not. I do not go out unless I have to per the mandate in place. And today we needed stuff. So I went bright and early. At 7:45am - 8:am ish. The stores look a little better. (Stocked - wise) however I still had to go to two different stores to get everything I needed. And also, there still is no toilet paper to be see! NONE! anywhere! It's crazy. One cashier at Wegmans told me they still had a line of about 100 people waiting to get inside this morning when they opened their doors. I really figured things would have slowed down a bit by now. I guess I was wrong lol. Who knows when grocery stores will be back to normal again. Who knows when life will be back to normal again lol.

These are weird times we're living in as I have said many times before. Late night talk show hosts were doing their shows without an audience and a lot of shows now are working remotely. A lot of news channels are working remotely. I turned on the TV this morning after I got back from the store and saw something pretty interesting.
Live with Kelly and Ryan was doing their show live from their own homes using Skype! How surreal all this is. And how apocalyptic this all feels lol.

Kelly Ripa actually posted on Instagram letting everyone know that they were going to give the Skype show a shot yesterday. Check out the image below. 
You can see she said "So this IS happening. Tune in tomorrow for @livekellyandryan and watch us learn Live remotely. What could possibly go wrong?".

I gotta say It was actually kinda fun to watch. It showed the imperfections and showed how real this whole social distancing thing really is. How it's affecting everyone.
Ryan and his Wife? or girlfriend? I'm not sure which. But it was really cool to see the show completely in the raw! Ryan actually tripped over his own dog while shooting this part of the show. And that was fine. Because its raw and real. And that is actually really refreshing to see. It really make you feel like everyone (All of us) are in this together.

You can see his doggo in this picture below.
Also I wanted to remind you all that life outside of your four walls is still in fact going on lol. I still have my cameras going and I had a small family of deer drop by again last night. You can see them in this video below stopping by to have a snack. (The apples I left out for them).
Four little deer in total. 

Another thing I wanted to make everyone aware of is that the Red Cross is having a major blood shortage right now. Mostly due to this Covid-19 virus. People are held up inside and honestly most are afraid to donate blood. The American Red Cross now faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations during this coronavirus outbreak. Healthy individuals are needed to donate now to help patients counting on lifesaving blood.
Right now, eligible and healthy donors are strongly urged to make an appointment to give soon. But please postpone your donation for 28 days following travel to China and its special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Iran, Italy and South Korea, or if you’ve been diagnosed with or have had contact with anyone with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19.

This blood shortage could impact patients who need surgery, victims of car accidents and other emergencies, or patients fighting cancer. Please if you are healthy, Consider donating during this difficult time. I'm considering donating myself next week. If you want to donate and are not sure where you can, Here is a link to the American Red Cross below.



Until next time everyone. Stay safe out there. Stay healthy.

Thank you for stopping by.
