> Thirteen people joined the meeting to discuss concerns, share resources, and establish a Buddy Call Group.  Brad emphasized the importance of regularly contacting the person chosen as our “Buddy,” since circumstances can change from, moment-to-moment and day-to-day.  Each participant had the opportunity to share their thoughts, concerns, and strategies, for meeting daily living needs that contribute to peace of mind.  These comments are presented in the order of discussion, below, followed by general discussion topics and local and national resource contact information.  Please contact Brad at, (815) 501-1153, if you do not have your Buddy contact information.

> Brad Kuhn and Jordan called the meeting out of concern for members and friends.  Carrie Tailor has friends that provide support and ensure she has supplies, but we still need to keep in touch with her.  Already, Brad is experiencing “cabin fever,” so is interested in finding diversions to fill time, provide entertainment, and stay connected with people.  It is Brad’s hope that this first meeting will establish an organized way to share resources and solutions, in support of one another.

> In response to the current situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the National Federation of the Blind has decided to provide up-to-date information to all eligible subscribers of the service.
> 
>  
> 
> COVID-19 updates are available in the Breaking News Online category of NFB-NEWSLINE. This information is being obtained by the system searching the thirty-four publications in the Breaking News Online category for "coronavirus" and displaying the results. This information will also be available for those few states that are currently not sponsored for the next sixty days starting Monday, March 16th.

> Jordan expressed our common concern for finding ways for people to pay their bills, have the proper resources in a timely manner, and ensure that everyone has everything they need.
> 
>  
> 
>  
> 
>  
> 
>  
> 
> Colin encouraged participants with needs to reach out to family, friends, church community, and Chapter members, without hesitation--the sooner, the better.
> 
>  
> 
> Donna is still working, and has the supplies she needs, so far.
> 
>  
> 
> Vicki is self-quarantining, due to potential exposure, and is working with the local, Walgreens manager to set aside a list of supplies, for a friend to pick up and deliver.  The managers and employees of retail stores where we regularly shop may be willing to set aside certain products at the time of delivery, so we can arrange to purchase and pick them up.
> 
>  
> 
> Monica and her family regularly shop for diapers, to keep well stocked.  They are also keeping well ahead of their need for other basics, by shopping more often.
> 
>  
> 
> Tom is not doing well.  He has an appointment, later this week for prior issues, and will, hopefully, be tested for the Coronavirus, to determine the source of congestion in his lungs.  Many symptoms associated with the virus are similar with those of the common cold, allergies, etc.  Testing will identify the cause, so the appropriate medical treatment can be administered, immediately.
> 
>  
> 
> Jenny observed that it is easier to be calm, when around other people who are calm.  She also noticed that the air is cleaner, with fewer people traveling; and, communication with colleagues from work is better.  Jenny’s immediate concern is that her annual physical was canceled.  It was during this appointment that her PCP was to authorize more refills of a standard prescription, she has taken for years.  Some pharmacies will issue an emergency supply of a regular prescription, until the physician authorizes the refills.  If this is not an option for Jenny, she may have to arrange a virtual appointment, with her doctor’s office.
> 
>  
> 
> Nick stated that his grocery supply is good, and has no issues for which he needs assistant.
> 
>  
> 
> Kimberly has experienced difficulty with pharmacies’ willingness to issue an emergency supply of a prescription.  It is more likely that scheduling a virtual appointment with the PCP’s office through Tele-Help is necessary.  This service is widely being used by doctor’s offices.
> 
>  
> 
> Dan orders from Walmart every two days to keep well supplied.  Also, he has a good rapport with the store manager to help with shopping and delivery, or set aside for pick-up.  Dan stated that ordering through the Walmart App is not the same as ordering via online shopping.  Also, he reminded us that delivery services are bogged down, so delivery frequency is impacted.  Additionally, orders may not be completely filled, due to product shortages.
> 
>  
> 
> Betty and family are keeping well-supplied.  She has found that stores do not shelve the entire delivery of some products, such as water and paper supplies, but keep some in reserve.  Because the standard cleaning products are scarce, Betty recommended rubbing alcohol and white vinegar as effective sanitizing substitutes.  She has found that Home Depot sells water, paper products, and cleaning supplies, with a quantity limit.
> 
>  
> 
> Mike and his family are well-supplied, due to his mother shopping, daily.  Social distancing is difficult for Mike, but understands that he must self-quarantine, because he is among those with fragile immune systems after the kidney transplant.  Mike observed that the whole world is changing, but “this too will pass” and that there “is a light at the end of the tunnel.”  These are positive words by which to be encouraged.
