Are you getting cancer treatments during COVID-19?

My brother took me out today, I didn’t realize so many businesses were closed. 2 shopping centers with over 400 shops.
17 cases in my county, (550,000 people) no deaths.
I’ve been home for nearly a year so isolating myself is no big deal.
Instacart doesn’t let me order TP, paper towels etc.
People are going crazy hoarding stuff.
I was running low on candy today, now there’s cause to panic!!!
@lioness, Linda, I think I read a post earlier today where you said Instacart has free delivery if you spend $35. To qualify for the free delivery don’t you have to pay $99 a year? I usually pay $3.99 but occasionally the delivery fee is $7.99 and I don’t know why the difference, do you? Plus all the other fees plus tip . It is convenient but it gets quite expensive especially when you have to order from multiple stores to get the things you need. Last time I ordered from four different stores and still didn’t get everything I requested.
My dad, Aunts, Uncles & Grandparents lived through the 1918 epidemic, 50-100 million deaths. We don’t know what hardship is. We’re so spoiled.
Stay safe all,
Jake

@jakeduck1 No Instacart you have to by into this for delivery which is 99 dollars a year I pay 9.99 a month for this but Walmart.com is buy 35.00 or more and it is free delivery . My MOm was in the epidemic she had scarlet fever during that time. Stay save and I got 2 large bars of dark chocolate at Walgreens. yum
Hi Leonard. I was just reading thru posts and saw yours. I'm not sure where you are. I'm in rural CO. We have 22 positive cases and 1 death of an 80+ yr old woman with other health conditions....within ours and 2 other counties, total. Trying to self-isolate but it is difficult to get basic necessities and food items to hold over from just one source. Walmart did a $35 or above order for free except that they only filled less than half my order. I ended up going to 5 stores over 10 days (hard to self-isolate when you have to search all over town for what you need to isolate). Very frustrating. I laughed at your candy comment. In trying to get things I need I kept forgetting my comfort candy. I won't bring myself to go out just for that even though it's tempting. You take care.

@jakedduck1 , you mentioned 1918. A friend just told me about a book, "Minnesota 1918, When Flu, Fire, and War Ravaged the State." I have on reserved at library when it opens back up. In MN, their were political rally's going on to boaster support for war, but it resulted in spread of flu. A terrible time in history, which I was not even aware of. If they taught in school, I must of been sleeping that day.
