Plans are not flying, my customers (the airlines), are not paying their outstanding bills, no flying means less broke parts coming, no flying means the airlines don't have the money to pay their bills. We have already sent my part timers home. One full time employee due to age and health is staying home trying to avoid all this. I still have work but I'm not going warp speed to get it done. I'll be the last one walked out the door if this place shutters. I figure two more months of this, if my employer can survive for that long, we'll be out of the woods.

Since we are retired this hasn't had too big an effect on us. We are staying home more than usual but we take a bike ride most evenings when it cools down. Of corse, like other areas of the country there is no toilet paper or most other paper products available due to panic hoarding but we have enough for now. If we were still working this would have had a much bigger effect on us. Sadly, congress can't seem to pass a clean bill to help with this crises. They have to include their pet add ons and that slows things down and muddies the water. I've heard that the bill is over 800 pages. It should be simple to pass something for those in need in this time of crises, but nothing is simple when politicians are involved. Oh well. Back to reading, watching TV, bike riding and playing with trains. All in all, not so bad for us.

Here's a video my daughter sent me. Explains it fairly well. You'll have to excuse the few cusses.

That video....sobering as it may be is what happens. Take every precaution you can possibly take. The numbers the Doctor quoted are not pulled from thin air, they are accurate. There will be areas in the world that could start another wave. India was his example. Unfortunately this will not be a short term affair.

Being retired, I been doing my normal around the house to do list. The only thing changed is we no longer turn on the news, (only because of the constant 24/7 of nothing but talk on the Virus and having several dozen experts with their opinions, constantly). It has changed my 3 monthly shooting events including this years State Championship match which I won in 2017/18, all have been cancelled. We went shopping today and found everything we needed including toilet paper, water, etc. We spend our time playing board games and TCM movie channel. Train running hasn't changed. I do see panic in many people who we have contact with and constantly repeating what they heard on the news, TV and Radio.

We never leave the house. We did most our shopping before this started. I had to go to the ER the other day because I got an infection around the titanium rods in my neck. They have me on Morphine and Prednisone. I sucks because I can't get to the basement to run trains. Mary's started her summer work. No one has been there all winter,but she doesn't take any chances. When she cleans the Catholic church and school, she wears a mask and gloves.

You can only do so much TV and reading before you go stir crazy. Stay safe. This will pass, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Denny take care of yourself.
Paula is diabetic so we are being especially careful. Cancelled a fishing trip yesterday when I found out that the friend I was going with had his kids and grandchildren over last weekend for a birthday party. Uh, I would love to go but no thanks.
