Nobody likes to contemplate their impending mortality. But if you are in a high risk category, and I alas qualify on two counts, now is the time to make arrangements for the care of your pets should you succumb to the corona virus or require an extended hospitalization. Even those not at high risk of dying may still need a few weeks on a respirator (if any are even available in a few weeks). As it is, I fear a massive increase in stray animals, pets who have no knowledge of how to fend for themselves on their own . Don’t wait until you get sick. Make necessary plans now to ensure that your pets will have a home to go to, whether permanent or hopefully temporary
