First, when the Governor of Pennsylvania put out the "Industry Operation Guidance" list it was worrisome. Today his "Business Closure Order" has been changed. The enforcement has been delayed and the list shortened. It will change again, I'm sure.
These are rough times for so many in multiple ways but we are taking it seriously and living our lives quite carefully, with so many thoughts of others and their distress.
Personally, we are thankful that we don't have kids home needing schooling. That must be very difficult for many. We are thankful that our jobs aren't in jeopardy. We have always practiced frugality because we had to and there is no change in our lifestyle or kitchen activities.
I have only hope that waiting it out in a safe manner will be the best thing, considering what a mess it is. Dealing with facts, not fear is the main issue here.
Interesting fact: The PA Fish and Boat Commission announced this week that it is delaying the start of trout season in Southeastern Pennsylvania, but they have to stock the streams anyway! This is so if hatchery personnel or field personnel get sick, the fish will be out to the public. Fishing can be a safe activity because people can move around in streams and find their own spots away from others. Statewide opening day is now April 18.
We had our first reported case here. He self quarantined...but, was it too late? Did he infect others?
