We now have 31 in our small county in South Carolina.  The state has 660
with 15 deaths.  It's scary stuff!!

I decided I don't need anything from the grocery store any time soon.
We'll eat from the basement and freezer.  I need to clean some of the old
stock out anyway!

Stay home and wash your hands!
