Since my earlier post I made a quick run to Walmart, just an easy mile from home. Turns out I know one of the gals that does this in-store shopping for others. I asked her the question about getting access to stuff not on the shelf and she just smiled. She quickly pointed out that Walmart doesn't keep much of anything in the back if it will fit on the shelf out front. It won't sell if it's in the back was the gist of her answer. So, I quickly learned that I'll need to continue to check nearly every morning if I'm on the verge of running out of anything. Aside here, I was rather surprised at how easy it was to navigate around the store. They weren't much busier than any normal weekday, from what I could tell. But the paper shelves were just as bare as they've been for days. Frozen food shelves were better, not good, stocked. There were several different brands of bread to choose from, which was very different from just yesterday. Maybe the worst is past?

Another reason to be be a dog person I suppose... Tiger at Bronx Zoo in New York City tests positive for coronavirus NEW YORK -- A tiger at New York City's Bronx Zoo has tested positive for COVID-19, the Wildlife Conservation Society said in a statement. The tiger, a 4-year-old female Malayan tiger named Nadia, developed a dry cough and a decrease in appetite. She was tested out of an abundance of caution, and the results were confirmed by the USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa, the society said. Her sister Azul, two Amur tigers and three African lions also showed coronavirus symptoms, but all of the cats, including Nadia, are expected to recover. The zoo said the cats were infected by a person caring for them who had COVID-19 but was asymptomatic or had not yet developed symptoms. "Appropriate preventive measures are now in place for all staff who are caring for them, and the other cats in our four WCS zoos, to prevent further exposure of any other of our zoo cats," the Wildlife Conservation Society, the parent company of the Bronx Zoo, said in a statement. It is unknown how the disease develops in big cats. There is also no evidence that animals can infect people with the virus. Nadia and Azul became visitor favorites after their appearance on Animal Planet's 2017 docu-series "The Zoo." abc7news.com
