I don’t think it’s mandated, but it’s what many are choosing to do. One district in Rochester just closed. Apparently an infected woman was in one of the schools. It makes sense. The only way to slow this down other then washing your hands is social distancing. Social distancing should be stressed as much as hand washing is.

I took my kids to their morning activities today, but I think this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 If anyone has any toilet paper to spare, even a square, please PM me. I’m about to start using my early 90’s AFC championship t-shirts to wipe my back side. No TP within 30 miles of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facial tissues do not break down in water the same way toilet paper does. They should never be flushed down the toilet; flushed Kleenex can cause clogs and other serious plumbing issues.Jul 17, 2017 Edited March 14, 2020 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Schools, churches, public library all shut down here (north of Boston). If you want to see what is coming our way, look at Italy and some of Europe - they are 10-14 days ahead of us. Once people start to get sick and/or know others who are things are really going to close down rapidly. Sadly, Tuesday will see bars full of yahoos celebrating St. Patty's, a terrible decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Back in the old days before disposable diapers there was cotton cloth . Hold tight while flushing the toilet to semi clean them , then hot water and bleach in the washing machine. Not to wear but use like toilet paper (I'm old) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
