COVID-19 has made its appearance in my county. It was a homeschooled student, however, all schools are out for the rest of the month. Needless to say, things have taken a turn for sure in my community. I'm set for the foreseeable future in the department of disposable paper products. I'm accustomed to buying Amazon …
