I was out today and found a big container of bleach for Carol, but she doesn’t
need it. If anyone does, it is here. However, I read that bleach is a
derivative of dioxin, a known carcinogen, and that people/women shouldn’t
breathe it.
Let’s do find a web way to gather. I’ve heard that Skype has a group
component.
Our son in LA seems to have symptoms after a flight to and from NY.
fever subsided in one day to normal, so we hope it’s a mild case. Plenty of
fatigue. Apparently respiratory symptoms arrive day 8. He’s moved out since his
wife is pregnant. It’s hard being so far away. Your good vibes would be
appreciated and for all of us.
NextDoor Watertown has some people volunteering to help out.

Hello Dear Neighbors!
I’m glad Carol has started this sort of thread as I hope we can find ways to
support each other during these uncertain times. I’m sure other neighbors
will have creative ideas too. Here are some ideas:
1. Share supplies we may be getting low on. Reach out on this list if you are
low on whatever and are hesitant to go out or the stores are out. For
example, we have plenty of rolled oats! We have many spices, aluminum foil
and probably much more that we can spare. However, like Carol, we don’t have
bleach. It is unclear what will happen with supplies as time goes on and
those who have excess can share with those in need.
2. Are there those who live alone and aside from being in touch with friends
and family by phone/Skype etc who might want to be aware of neighbors who can
check in and drop things off as needed? Do you live near someone who lives
alone and may not be on this list?
There is a great Boston area resource list on google doc that I will send out
later (unless someone else does it first).
3. Use Zoom Meetings for neighborhood support and fun.
4. Dan could help with computer problems remotely by using Team Viewer
software that he could help you download for free.
5. Your ideas?
Hoping for continued health in our wonderful neighborhood!
Sarah and Dan
