"Here in Washington State things are about the same, although the governor extended the stay at home order until May 4th. I’m still working ..apparently working at a car dealership is essential"
I wondered about that. I pass a lot of car dealerships on my way to work, and was thinking this might be a really good time to properly test drive a few cars while the salesmen are not too busy. I sold my 2011 Yukon eight months ago after it behaved pitifully in the snow we had in Feb 2019 and I can't decide what to replace it with. Not too keen on replacing it with something brand new, since everything new is equipped with all that tracker-jacker technology, i.e., OnStar, etc.
Something more on the topic of this thread, I've been asking everyone I know all over this country and in other countries if anyone they know has come down with the coronavirus. So far, zilch! My brother's work team was all trapped in Italy during the worst of the "outbreak" there, but not one person came down with it. Is there a pandemic?
I keep thinking of Defoe's "Diary of a Plague Year" and how one of the men he talked about decided to isolate himself and his family only after he saw dead bodies in the street. If it weren't for the media, you'd never know a pandemic was happening. The trails near my house are just as busy with people walking, although they're not as friendly as they used to be.
