Hallo Nancy!

 NB> The mask might protect others from you... the hand washing
 NB> protects you from others...

I've heard that but am in serious doubt that any mask that I can manufacture 
mysef will protect anybody.  For sure there are absolutely zero manufactured 
ones available for purchase.  Same with rubber gloves which is probably a 
better purchace for these troubled times.

 NB> I suppose the mask at least reminds people to keep their
 NB> distance, if it doesn't make them overconfident....

Sure.  I'll wait until masks become mandatory and then piece something together 
for going shopping when I need to.  At the best of times I have a 'hit and run' 
mentality of shopping and seldom do any socializing in the aisles.  Nod and 
smile is more my style when aknowledging others in stores.

 MK> the ones in shortest supply are nowhere to be found,

My little sister tells me that rubber gloves are impossible to find.  Those are 
probably the best protection from picking up the virus from handled objects.

 MK> but just getting the minimum needed leaves some for others to
 MK> also obtain... :)

Understood.  Also saves money given the inflated prices these days.  I've heard 
gardening is on the increase this year.

 NB> I'll most likely still have the same bottle I used for the last
 NB> few toasts, as that's about the only time I have any of it... :)

I'll have to purchase a new one but will likely wait until then.

 NB> I trust you are also staying well...

So far so good.  I haven't heard of anyone on this part of the island getting 
the virus.

 NB> So far, we are doing ok still..

Excellent.  Hopefully the powers that be have learned from this experience and 
make the proper investments for the future so that the next one is handled 
better.

Stay well my friend.  :-)

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
