Shopping in the time of Covid.

Conversation with hubby tonight after watching the news of new Covid strains.

Me: I don’t ever want to leave the house again.

Him: I can do some of the shopping if you want.

Me: No, you’re a higher risk than me. But we’re out of rice.

Him: Rice. Um, okay. That shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe you can order it on Amazon or one of those delivery services. Costco delivers I think.

Me: I suppose I should try that.

Him: You figured out how to order wine online, you can do rice.

I don't know what this new strain means, are masks useless? Just what does more contagious mean?

Moving next Wednesday means I've depleted a lot in the freezer and cupboard. Will have to do a major shop at the grocery store within a couple of days of moving. After that, I might resort to on-line ordering once/week. One of my sons has been doing that since last March.

I've been getting there right after 9 when it opens for my age group. Huge store, limited people, hopefully safe.
