At this point, manufactured masks and gloves are unavailable around
here, having been donated to the hospitals or snapped up already....

 NB>> I suppose the mask at least reminds people to keep their

Masks have now become mandatory here... I gave in and asked my sister
who's been making masks for family and friends for a couple each for
us.... We might be more likely to socialize in the aisles, but for the
last months, haven't been running into people like that anyway... We've
been doing pretty good at keeping distance, as well....

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

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

I haven't seen much inflation of grocery prices yet... and haven't paid
that much attention to the prices on paper goods as we've not needed
them....  

 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... :)

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

That would make sense... were you to buy one now, it might not last till
then... ;)

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

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

That's very good... :)

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

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

One can but hope... :)
