8. More and better options now for staying home?
Wed Mar 4, 2020, 02:04 PM
Mar 2020

Better TVs & Blu-ray handling those higher resolutions quite well!, gaming, internet, add delivery and pickups at stores available, a recipe for solitude?

Add to the mix the fear after multiple shootings in public places.

Economy not working well for some, if the $ is not there, you NEED to be home?

Just off the top of my head, I am still blah from waking up and allergies have us trapped at home, another valid reason?
