Dadburn virus

[Dave]

Just checking in to see if everyone is OK. DW and I are staying home except for grocery shopping and doing take-out from our local restaurants. We have several restaurants that have given up and closed permanently. I hate to see them go. Several servers have become good friends and they have no jobs. Our granddaughter has a degree in Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and she was working for a year to save up to finish her masters. No job, no income (the Florida unemployment system is overloaded and she hasn't been able to apply). This virus has a lot to answer for. Our DD and SIL are working at home and grandson is a chemical engineer and has to be on-sight at least two days a week. He works at home the rest of the week. DW and I are retired so we don't have to worry about jobs or income. We are very fortunate.

Please let us know if you're OK. Participation on the Magical Trips forum has dwindled down to just a few of us and I'd like to know that everyone is safe and well.

Hi Dave! Glad to hear you and your family are safe. I am still going into work but we have very strict disinfecting going on all day, everyone is wearing masks and gloves, etc. I'm doing a big grocery shop every 2-3 weeks to minimize time in a store and just going once a week for the few little things, like milk and fruit/veggies. We normally ate out once a week so we are sending Jared to go pick something up on Saturdays trying to still support our local restaurants. Ron is exclusively working from home now. Jared has been out of a job since the restaurant he worked at decided to close (not enough take out business) but at least he was able to file for unemployment. The owner was super nice and helped all the employees with that. He finishes Spring semester of college next week and wasn't going to do any summer classes because what he needs to finish up isn't offered in summer. Hopefully he is able to start working again soon. Taylor is on practical lockdown at his base in Florida. They are switching off who is working out of the office and who is working from home, but still have to respond to calls and go out on jobs- communications are apparently necessary! All our family in Texas are well so far. Blessings to everyone to stay safe and healthy!

Still here and doing okay. Hubby is still having to go into work everyday. As long as people fly TSA will be open so youngest isn’t still at it. With fewer people flying out of our airport they work seven on seven off. Oldest is a manager at at store that is deemed essential and daughter is doing teletherapy from home. She did lose some clients who decided they didn’t want to go that way. I have been out a few time but wear a mask and hand sanitizer before I get back into the Tahoe. Got flowers and veggies planted the other day. Stay ell
