Provisions and Lockdown

Going to the departmental store may be an everyday affair for many, but it may not be so in the present day circumstances.
Loved the fresh greens and so was the fruits which made the store look colourful. 



This store is well stocked but being new in the neighbourhood, people may not be aware of its existence and hence may seem deserted. 


At the entrance  all were checked for temperature and hand sanitiser was offered if required. A good way of making people aware of the seriousness of what the world is facing today. 



I was just thinking, the safest place in the world right now is to be with the Jarawas  in the Andamans. Social distancing at its best.  


Coming back to the store, apart from the veggies we bought some fish. 
Rohu is a fresh water fish and hence supposed to be very low on the mercury content scale.


Saw some red crab too and I was sure that it would have been delicious but I find eating crabs takes a lot of effort especially when it comes to separating the shell. 


Now to prepare the Rohu fish curry as per the recipe.

Actually checking temperature is a significant step. It sure is not happening here.

They are only taking temps at places of employment here, not stores. However, special morning hours now for seniors.

This lockdown is crazy.. I hope there is an end in sight. Be careful and stay home if you can. :)

We aren't checking temperatures here but stores had to start limiting how many people can go in the store at once and limit the quantities of what they can buy.

Nice seeing not all parts of the world have gone shopping crazy. And nice to see you have sanitizers everywhere, in my country, here in Central Europe, we can't even find it in drugstores LOL Masks also. So we stay put in our homes and don't venture out too much.

Stay safe.

no one is taking temperatures in Michigan at the store. I think it is a great idea!

We're starting to have some shortages at some of the groceries here, although people can still find plenty to eat. I think produce might get tricky in a few weeks, though. We have sanitizing wipes at the grocery but not checking temps. Wish they would! But I'm sheltering at home and in for awhile.

The temperature thing is a good idea. Glad to see your store well stocked.

I would like to see them start taking temps here too. Be well.
