(I know the answer) I cannot believe that people still fawn over the people in the White House who are basically trying to screw everyone over but themselves. I digress. <br /><br />Oh man that’s tough. I hope things improve where you are too but definitely sounds like it will get much worse first. The thing is- no one presented this as a serious issue until a week or 2 ago. People still have that mindset as they get their news from questionable sources. (And because they see that there hasn’t been many cases thanks to our government rejecting the WHO tests) L sees loads of families out on the lakefront each day when he runs. It’s just selfish of people to carryon the way they have. Hugs to you and your fam.

Ugh <br /><br />Our 401ks will survive. Just think of all the mutual funds and stocks being bought at much lower rates now, which will off set the ones that have tanked. (Until the next big crash) that is so interesting to compare the 2 states like that. I’ll have to look at that more to see how they are doing now. Friends from MRC Moscow have asked me what life is really like here because god only knows what’s on the news there. They are still able to congregate in groups of less than 50. I wonder how countries like India are handling it- densely populated and such. But hey! Let’s reopen by Easter because it’s beautiful.

Oh the gym is closed? Let's all meet at a park and work out on top of each other! And then let's post pictures for everyone else to freak out about!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-80860004297606816212020-03-24T07:58:18.508-05:002020-03-24T07:58:18.508-05:00Girl, YES, I hope everyone remembers all of this c...Girl, YES, I hope everyone remembers all of this come November at the ballot box. And to Anne's point, it's definitely interesting to compare how aggressive some states have been right out of the gate versus waiting for catastrophe to happen and then reacting. <br /><br />Santa Clara County has been hit pretty hard, as you probably already know. So many people here are fearful that we'll wake up one morning to learn that we're no longer allowed to go outside, that the SIP mandate suddenly got a whole lot more strict. The problem is people are being dummies and flocking to the beach, trails, etc. because they can still and fail to allow adequate social distancing. SIP doesn't really work if you go to the beach or the Embarcadero or whatever with 40 of your closest friends!! Plus a mom friend here got mad at me because I wouldn't let my kids have a playdate with hers. That's not how this works, guys. It's not hard... <br /><br />Anyway big hugs and nice job on your riding last week (and cooking, too)!

I'm with ...How is WFH going for you this week?<br /><br />I'm with you on supporting local businesses right now. We got delivery once last week and I grabbed carry-out a couple times too. Once was from a bar/restaurant that just opened in December - I feel so bad for them that this is happening just as they were getting off the ground!<br /><br />Ugh, yes, the "leaders" of our country sure are doing a piss poor job of keeping us all safe. But THANK GOODNESS their stock portfolios will survive (meanwhile I'm not even bothering to look at my 401(k) - I just don't want to know). That said, I feel very fortunate that we both live in states that ARE taking this seriously and putting the right precautions in place. I've already seen some data comparing Ohio and Louisiana's efforts, since both states reported their first case on the same day. Ohio was extremely aggressive while Louisiana wasn't, and the numbers suggest that it's been effective.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.com
