Hmmm.... . Being diabetic, you should be automatic for testing. Of course, to get this thing under control, as is being acknowledged now, widespread testing with tracking of contacts and follow-up is needed.

Bonnie and I have just stayed home, except I go to the PO each Friday. We have rural mail delivery, but there have been mail thefts out here, so we got a PO box. We also ordered groceries and I picked up in parking lot. People still were not wearing masks much from what I could tell on Monday when I got the food.

Washington is said to be one of the states where early response was better than most, and the epidemic is supposedly ebbing. We'll see, I guess.

Your feet may have been a diabetic thing. Blood sugar jumps up when sick, right? If Bonnie gets a cold, her sugar jumps. Glad the feet are are better.

Stay healthy folks, mcneely
