Re: [OM] self-isolating

[Mike Lazzari]

Our local market has geezer hours in the morning. My wife went and said 
the shelves were getting bare. Apparently a supply problem on the 
mainland as there wasn't excessive hoarding here. People were behaving 
safely and just going about their business quickly with little of the 
socializing that typically goes on. My wife said it was quite busy as we 
have a high geezer population. We had watched the video Tina referenced 
and followed the recommendations. We have two main grocery stores. One 
for locals and located on the outskirts of the village and the other is 
in town catering more to visitors, i.e. half booze. Same owner. (he has 
a store in Hailey, ID too) He is setting up remote shopping so you can 
call in your list and pick up in the parking lot.
Coming back from our walk last evening we noticed more "foreign" license 
plates and a group of tourist kids on bicycles NOT isolating. It seems 
we have become a joy ride destination and escape. Consequently the 
County shut down all transient lodging, camping and moorage. We really 
have no infrastructure to deal with a medical or supply crisis. The 
nearest ICU with a ventilator is a $15k flight away.  Can't keep the 
second (third, fourth) home owners out but we really aren't set up to 
deal with them too. Our EMT's are the best around and a helicopter ride 
directly  to a mainland hospital roof is faster than somebody in an 
ambulance stuck in traffic but they aren't equipped to deal with this.
We are really glad to live where we do. Can't say it was luck because we 
chose it on purpose (and took a substantial economic hit)
Stay safe
