The Great Toliet Paper Hoarding of 2020

My friend Mary C took me to Edge Water Park, in Mukilteo Washington. I overheard a couple of people say, "some people buy toliet paper every other day. And store 300 rolls of toliet paper. " I interrupted them and said," storing 300 rolls of toilet paper is not storing. It is hoarding." "You are right it is hoarding and some people have 300 rolls of toilet paper." My friend Sherlyn Z told Mary C. and me," At Cosco some people buy toilet paper, and want to take some back. Cosco is not accepting any returns right now. There is a long line waiting outside waiting to get in. They only allow people two hours inside before they kick people out." Mayor Cassie Franklin, Everett Washington has ordered a lock down in our fair city. Our Snohomish County executive has closed all of the parks. My friend Mary C. won't be taking me to either parks, or community meals. Essential services and activities are allowed. Citizens' are being requested to purchase necessary items for them to stay in their homes. Walking and exercising outdoors is still recommended and allowed. Evictions are placed on hold during our Washington State's COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers' are working together around the clock to provide feasible vaccines for this latest Angel of Death. There is a furniture company in Mukilteo having its work force sewing masks. Recruiting tailors from other business to come and work for them. Stay home as much as possible and keep living spaces aired out by opening doors and windows. Is what I recommend. "Now is the time to come to the aid of our country" and our communities. This COVID-19 is a global angel of death. Say your prayers to God Almighty! To have this angel of death pass over the rest of us. Love in Christ Jesus!

Homeless people are not restricted, but being recommend to seek shelter. Our mayor is issuing white paper to people involved in providing essential services.

Hi Roxanne. :-) I was raised in Washington, on the south end of the Puget Sound. I still have a lot of family there. Take good care. Hugs, Catie :-)
