I do not think that this person would have deliberately left - they were very articulate and engaging. Perhaps they had a technical malfunction?

That must feel very difficult for you. Do you have anyone around who can support you, even if just by leaving groceries outside of your door?

the number of unkowns with this virus is stressful and makes it even more baffling that people wont follow what we do know we are well stocked, i did that over the summer, thanksfor asking

I think that some people simply do not have much in the way of current sense. Is it true to say that this is making things worse for you? common sense, sorry.
