When I read the title, I was encouraged to think maybe there was an ethical reason behind this... only to read the article and find out it was due to a “sustained supply chain disruptions and product shortages”! The last purchase my dad made from the state store was 4 bottles of whiskey. He fell that evening (from drinking)and we didn't discover him for four days, which by then all his systems starting shutting down. We got him to the ICU, but he died a week later. I found the sales slip for the 4 bottles of whiskey from the state store in DuBois that he purchased that day before he fell. I went in and told them that I thought they should use more discretion when selling to an obvious alcoholic and what happened to my dad. Of course the response was they can't be responsible. Although, even if he wouldn't have been able to buy it there, he would have found it somewhere else :'(

After making sure everything is sorted properly, I just watched the person collecting the recycled bins throw everything together in the same bin of the collection truck!!! Where does it go next... into the same section of the landfill???

Just seeing this and you have another prayer warrier that will be lifting Faith in fervent prayer. She has defied odds before and God will see her through to do it again.

Just thinking... With as many the cases being reported, wouldn't you think everyone would know someone or have a personal connection to someone who knows someone that had coronavirus? Everyone has personal connections with people with cancer, people with heart disease, those with diabetes, alzheimers, and those families that have tragedies as suicide. I have many circles of people I know, professionally and friends in the area and outside of the area, urban and city. They say there is only so many degrees of separation between you and everyone else. Yet, with the exception of the one on the front page news (that I do not personally know), I do not know a single person that has been diagnosed, or even heard of people talk about knowing, i.e. my sister's aunt, my friend's uncle, my neighbor's grandfather, etc... Is anyone in this readership able to report they personally have connections with anyone diagnosed? I just find it strange. Also strange that the number of people that die from cigarettes, and a number of other things reported elsewhere, is significantly higher and they haven't shut the country down for any of those. Is there possibility that we may have more severity from emotional breakdowns that will be more tragic than what the coronavirus actually caused?
