I own and live in an adult family home (a private home that houses 6 elderly and vulnerable adult residents). I mass shopped since mid January seeing this thing as a possibility of reaching Washington state where I live because tons of people and Asians fly into Seattle from China daily. Since there were no serious measures to prevent the illness from coming where I live, I have supplies for our home to last us possibly 6 plus months withh b out having to leave the house.
As soon as our local Whatcom County health Dept declares there is a confirmed case in my county, (which probably will be in the next day or two because there are 10 plus pending cases) we will not have anyone coming or going. Already all our residents have cancelled their appointments for the month of March. Our activities leaders have been let go until further notice. We have three live in staff counting me who can work round the clock without leaving the premises so I plan to let my one hourly pay caregiver go due to possible exposure to our residents since she will be working at a large skilled nursing facility.
I hope this will keep us all safe under my roof.
