Worth a giggle

Hello All,
Thanks for sharing this, I signed up on their Facebook page. If there becomes a need here in Georgia I would happily volunteer our home on wheels.

Enjoy the journey, even this part of it.

Grill some steak, drink some wine and sleep in the trailer .... something to do.

Is the July date you posted an actual mandated date or an educated guess ? ( Just curious )
We have a fishing trip booked for early June in Manitoba
The Canadian resort owner says the trip is a go and that the border will be opened in May
Not sure if he knows something that has not been made public or he’s just trying to hold on to our money as long as possible and BSing us .

Steve, Yesterday, we watched BC Gov officials telling us to expect months of restrictions lasting until the summer. Based on what we see about the US virus news, I’d be utterly surprised if the Canadian/US border was opened by May for anything but essential crossings.

What I’m seeing now is BC small town mayors asking people from larger metro areas to stay away “for now” citing lack of medical facilities/resources. I’d say your May fishing trip will need to be rescheduled.

Global news ....
“On Tuesday, B.C. health officials warned that some version of harsh restrictions that have been put in place to curb the spread of the virus would likely remain until “at least” the summer.“

Can certainly understand that. We were supposed to head down to Gulf Shores in 2+ weeks, and even though knew it was not going to happen, could not bring myself to cancel until today.

[LarryandLiz]

Finish this sentence If the virus had not happened .....

We would be preparing to leave for Utah and a few other soured states

[padlin]

We would just be getting home from GA.

[GregandTeresa]

We would be loading up to spend a week at Gulf State Park in Gulf Coast AL.

[EdColorado]

Heading to Moab, UT then St George then Kanab for some trail driving.

That’s OK, they will be there next year.

[emers382]

Beth, daughter and family would be at Disneyworld for the last of four days, I would be relaxing at the campground or maybe having a beer with Carl.

[GregandTeresa]

Just cancelled our Gulf Shores reservations and booked the same week for next year.

[Bobbie54]

I'd be headed south to Humboldt County to visit my grandkids.

For those who need to follow the deadly progress of this pandemic virus here is a very good link.

I took particular notice of the column listing victims who have recovered. Compared to worldwide...not encouraging. Let us hope that stat will change for the better.

In China, it took about 2 weeks on average from admission for a patient to die, but 3 weeks to recover (and sometimes longer to no longer be shedding virus.) So we expect a lag in deaths but a bigger one in recoveries.

[padlin]

Looks like a number of states don't report serious or recovered numbers. NJ had 183 deaths today but has no serious cases.

I would be running the Boston Marathon in 18 days.

[brad2002]

I might be able to keep up with that pace.

[steve dunham]

We had plans to visit my sister in Madison Wisconsin
We have not had a face to face visit since our Mother passed away
Hopefully when this is over both of us will stiil be here and we can have a nice long visit
Family is very important in times like this .
