Take a deep breath and wait two weeks.

I do not know the vast majority of our members who post, but have learned so much over the past years from your advice and comments. I value your lives even though we have never met. Whatever your opinions, I fear that we will loose many of our posting and personal friends.

I hope very much that that I am wrong. April 15th will tell some truth.

I suspect if this thing is even half of what they say it is it’ll take a bit longer then 4/15/20 probably more like 8/15/20 .

I’m not so much worried about myself . But rather my almost 85 year old father who stays home but has therapists that visit several times a week . And I’m more worried about my wife , daughter , grandson and 87 year old mother in law in the Philippines . The state of health care there is a bit less than here , however I’m not sure that matters since they say they have no cure etc if this crap grabs you in a bad way .

Some hope here. This guy David Katz suggests the vulnerable remain quarantined, while those not at risk go back to some level of normalcy.

I worry about everyone as far as this virus is concerned, particularly my 93year old mother-in-law who's in the county nursing home , they've restricted visitors but recently reported that a food worker has the virus. At work we've been put on a staggered schedule and I hear more restrictions are on the horizon. My oldest son is a biologist in San Francisco who works for a biotech company, they produce products that support vaccine development they've upped production since this thing started. We were going to go visit him this June but that's not going to happen now. We've prepared as much as possible at home and will wait for this to pass as best we can. I've been going through all my shooting gear and guns and doing an inventory, as suggested in another thread, and maintenance.

Craig, my daughter in law is from the Phillipines and I just asked her yesterday at dinner how her family is doing over there, she said her mother is at the farm that's kind of isolated and her siblings are in town practicing social distancing.

Take care everyone,
Tim

Here is a good source of information without the fear-mongering of the major news networks.
