These pictures were taken a week and a half before

These pictures were taken a week and a half before the lockdown in my state was put in place. I went to the @wholefoods near me, and at the time nobody was really wearing any masks or gloves. I didn’t know what to expect when I walked in there but as you see items were mostly gone. I was lucky to pick up a few essentials. I haven’t been there since and have opted to order online instead. My family has stopped going to the stores for awhile, as our area has been impacted (though fruits and veggies are better to get in person mabye). One grocery store was shut down near me due to a worker contracting the virus. Before walking into the store though, I didn’t put my mask on. I actually had it in my purse. Those of you following me, know all to well that sometimes we opt out of doing things for not wanting to deal with looks or people’s remarks. However, within the first few minutes I saw a couple others wearing masks. Mind you at this time, there were only some cases announced but nothing near me yet. I typically don’t care about what others think, not as much as I use to that is, especially random strangers. But this time I was nervous. Mabye because I was alone and it was scary. Sometimes we get in our own way. Anyways, I came to my senses and already made the effort to bring it with. So I said screw it and put it on. I got several looks as expected, especially in line. People were fighting in the self-check out area. It was a mad house, and it only had just begun. Many would give anything to have an extra mask right now. So if you have one, wear it. Do what you have to do to protect yourself, those you care about and strangers.
We all have a moral responsibility to #flattenthecurve. I recommend listening to Dr. Fauci’s interviews if you haven’t already. Tagging a random fan account @faucifanclub because people are looking up to this guy more than our own president for the facts. It’s also #nationaldoctorsday so let’s also continue to help medical workers that risk their lives on the front lines AND all service workers by following the rules to stay home.. it’s not boring, you’re safe. Do something to take your mind off of worry or fear. ❤️
