Hopefully Washington State won’t go to a “stay at home band” like California! I seriously need my walks during the day. Next week my plan is going to my daughters about 40 mins away, to watch my grandkids.
Stay safe everyone!0 -
Good morning Everyone. Thanks for the add back Dave.

Our town leaders made the decision across the board to pretty much ask people to close everything on Monday.
The school closed for a month. The teachers are sending out homework or activities that can be done online for the kids so that they aren't left behind. They also have done bagged cold meals for families to pick up in the mornings. The state has waived the requirements for graduation and mandatory education hours for this year.
All the dental and vision offices aren't seeing anyone for anything routine. If you need to go to the clinic, it is a huge process. When you get there, call from the parking lot, all staff is in protective gear and the doors are locked, ask your name and reason to be there. They take the temperature of everyone in the car, walk the person needing the appointment and one extra person to the reception desk to check in. Escort them directly to the nurse who then takes them to the exam room. After the appointment, they walk them out. You aren't ever left alone except for when you are in the exam room. If a person has a respiratory problem or fever, they have a different door than other patients and completely bypass the check-in process.
Our vet staff comes out to get your pet, you pay by credit card on the phone and are not allowed to go in with it, even if it is end of life.
All of restaurants are closed and offer carryout or pickup. All of the businesses are closed to the public and do their business over the telephone. All of the grocery stores have shortened their business hours to around 7a-8p with the first hour dedicated to the elderly or those with compromised immune systems.
I hope everyone is safe. My dad said it reminds him of when he was a child and the polio outbreak.

@DJMICHEALS - Welcome back, LIbi!
Yes, these are strange and surreal times. Sounds fairly typical of what I've been hearing most everywhere. They haven't "ordered" us to shelter-in-place here in Minnesota yet, but they're getting close. It's still strongly suggested and most people seem to be doing so...but you know there's always the few that have to disregard common sense protocols... 
Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe and healthy!

I work with a special needs high school student 3 days a week. So far they only send him home with one paper for 2 sentence journal entries for a 7 day period. The school district hasn't done a thing for any assignments or online school and they are closed until April 28. My student is a Senior in HS unless its only the IEP students that are being left behind. Either way this is a total train wreck.....

@djmichaels: We are pretty much the same here in Pittsburgh. Our teachers will officially start online Monday with online instruction. They have been attending online meetings all week and preparing lessons for this until the end of the year if necessary. My former colleagues have been providing lots of materials to any and all parents. I as a former PE teacher have been providing activities as well to share. Please do not let these times bring you down. We must all stand together. We will not be the first to go through such times as your father stated. The Spanish flu went through Pittsburgh in 1918 and we were one of the hardest hit. Someone came down with it every 70 seconds and someone died from it every 10 minutes leaving over 700 children orphaned. I have friends and family that lost people from it. Even Martin Luther went through a pandemic in the 1500’s and early Christians Went through the Plague of Cyprian where 5000 died daily. Our parents and grandparents and their parents have all experienced tough times and lived through them. I still have my polio vaccine scar on my thigh and remember standing in long lines in 1963 to get the oral polio additional vaccine. I also remember going home for School Air Raid Drills in 1960. It was scary having sleeping bags and gear sitting by our front door if we had to evacuate. Tough times reminds us to appreciate the good.

Yesterday I was lazy but I did go out for a 1 mile walk in the wind & cold! Today was 36* with bright sun & just a breeze so Georgie & I ran (with some walking) 4.6 miles! Shoes got wet & muddy but Georgie was a mess! Time for a bath & he hates those!!
Just to be safe, we postponed classes till the shutdown is over!
A lady who was tested positive in the next county has had herself quarantined for 2 weeks since her daughter became positive 3.5 weeks ago after they returned from Greece. The daughter lives where it has other cases too. The lady's only symptom has been a slight cough but the daughter ran the fever, weakness & the respiratory issues & that is why she went into self quarantine & got the test which took about a week to get the results back. She will now need to stay quarantined until her test comes back negative.
COVID is showing more on the western side of Montana with one in our northeast corner which is that lady who is not symptomatic!

3.4 miles walk/run. I was supposed to do a 5K today which was obviously canceled a few weeks ago. They asked that people run and upload the pics to them on social media. So I did. Currently rearranging my mini home gym, trying to make the room more user friendly since I'll be in it for at least another week. My gym is now doing online videos and one of my favorite instructors has several on there. It's weird working out on rug. I had those interlocking mats down, but just took them up since they're too thick and I'm so used to the gym's wood floors and mats.

Congrats to @anaconda469 on making goal!!
My goodness. I have had quite the week. I'm still sick - who knows with what. I have a cough and feel lousy, but I don't seem to be in any danger of dying. My neighbor the ER doc made a house call and told me to stay home and ride it out. I do feel a little better today so fingers crossed the worst is behind me. No miles to report.
In spite of being sick, I have a big volunteer job that has shifted in high gear as the organization copes with COVID-19. I've pretty much been on the phone anytime I'm not asleep. What a roller coaster!
My heart goes out to all of you whose lives have been disrupted. I keep telling myself how lucky I am to be sequestered in my comfortable house in Florida where it's warm and I have everything I need.
I passed a big milestone today. I've logged in for 3000 days. I'm so tired and my life is so crazy I really haven't had a chance to reflect on it. I guess it's pretty amazing that when I decided to get healthy back in 2012, I've more or less kept at it these 8 years. Sometimes better than others, and my weight has gone up and down, but I never went back to sitting on the couch and weighing as much as a cow. 15 marathons in the books is pretty good! Oh, they cancelled the Star Wars half marathon finally, but that was no surprise.
Be well my friends.2 -

Hope you, my on-line friends are all keeping safe and well in these difficult times. It looks like some of your local government are taking action earlier than has happened here. Our schools only closed on Friday - although that is a misnomer as schools are still open for the children of key workers (a huge list that will be a shock to the elite) and vulnerable young people (those on care plans, the at risk register).
There has been some shocking behaviour as the elderly and frontline staff have been unable to buy essentials as the shelves have been stripped by greedy, selfish people. GB£1bn estimated extra food in households - not mine I hasten to add.
Here it is Mother’s Day - so I’m sending love to you all, regardless of the biological status of your offspring - and I include your fur babies

@Janet - That’s amazing! 3000 days. I can’t put more than a string of 30 together. I’m still plugging along exercising but some days I just can’t remember to log in. 3000 is a Herculean effort. Way to go!1

It's not as big a deal as it sounds. This is one of the sites that loads automatically when I open my web browser. I check my email and top sites every day so logging in just kind of happens. Plus I had to reset my streak a couple of times - like when I was on an ocean liner in the north atlantic. The amazing thing to me is that I stayed at a relatively healthy weight and more or less exercised regularly for 8 years.1 -

2.5 miles yesterday, forgot to log it here. Also did one of the videos the gym has been putting on their website. I reorganized my mini gym, gave myself some more space to move, put up hooks to hang bands and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
