Virus getting worse

Worse, that's all they are telling us. they just extended the social distancing for another month till the end of April. Tonight President Trump announced that we need to do better and continue the social distancing for another month maybe more. He said that had we not done anything we may have lost 1.6 to 2 million people. This is the data the the models are showing based on Italy and Spain, those two countries are getting hammered right now with a death rate close to 10%. All we can do is our best, wash our hands avoid populated areas and stay home. I am the only one leaving our house, I do the grocery shopping only when we run out of milk and bread. I am trying to stock up on non perishables that we can use to stay home for a month if we have to if it gets really bad. I think we are about there I buy water and can goods every time I go shopping. I think we have enough to last a month it would be nothing glamorous but we would not starve to death.

Marie and Elli are doing great we are all spending a lot of time looking at tiktok videos on our phones and iPads. I hope that this time passes quickly and our country recovers quickly as well. Marie and I have put off looking for a house for a bit its just too hard to get out. wether its to the mountains or up home we think we need to put house hunting on the back burner for a bit. And our fall trip to Spain may have to be put off for a bit as well. Oh well enough for tonight I will talk more tomorrow...

Virus Continues

No idea what day we are on but the girls and I are going crazy. We are trying to spend quality time with each other but I think we are all felling the blues right about now. The news is so depressing lately the Virus is all they talk about and its getting pretty sad all the talk about loss and that we have not even hit the peak yet. Not much we can do really but try to stay positive and try to keep each other up. We have ben playing card almost every night and its been a lot of fun when this is over I will miss that for sure. Elli has been doing great with all of this she is such a great kid and she always has such a great attitude about everything.

Donald Trump is doing a great job and I am sure this will guarantee hie re-election for sure. Typical politics though no matter what he does it was a mistake and he should have done the opposite. But the left is giving him all the fuel he will need for his up coming re-election with all of their hypocritical talking points. New York seems to be our greatest Virus pandemic area in the US they are doing the best they can up there but the death toll keeps rising. I sometimes wish that Shirley was a logistics Officer like her brother. Robby, Karaline and the baby are home and don't have to go to work hopefully till this is over. Keeping our finger crossed for all the family to stay safe and out of harms way...

Corona Virus

Well we are still trying to stay put at the house. We opened the pool last week and the water is 72 degrees so won't be doing any of that for a while. Marie and I are trying to find things to do in the house to keep busy during the day to help once we are ready to list the house on Zillow and make the move to wherever.

Not exactly what I had in mind for our retirement but this too shall pass. We are looking forward to our first trip over seas once the virus has burned out or once they have a vaccine to fight it. We have watched so many videos on Spain and Portugal that I think we could be tour guides. This is going to be our first trip and we want to drop down to Morocco as well and do the camel trip out into the Sierra desert. I personally can wait for our move to be over and for this virus to be under control.

I will try to get on here tomorrow too, as for now Georgia has not implemented a state wide remain at home ban yet but I am sure its coming...

I have not been on here since jun of last year, lot has happened since then. Marie and I are both officially retired now and looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.

The reason that i am on here is we are facing huge challenges as a country right now with this Virus. most states have placed travel restrictions on people tryin to curb the spread of this Virus. most are remaining in there homes except to make grocery runs for critical supplies. Some of the biggest things that are no where to be found are toilet paper hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies. Marie Elli and I are doing fine under the circumstances we have gotten into a routine and we play cards/games every night. the order has not come to Georgia yet but we have stocked up on supplies to last 4 to 6 weeks with not having to leave the house.

The Virus started in China, it's a animal virus that jumped to humans some how and first spread all over China and then it jumped from country to country. Now its here and doing lots of damage. I think the biggest reason it's hitting so hard is that China underplayed its effects to save face and it spread much more quickly. The virus attacks the lungs and it hits the elderly and people with pre existing conditions much harder.

So far Robby and Karaline and our first grand daughter are doing fine out in Washington State, Shirley is also doing well in Texas. I worry more for Shirley though because she is a health care professional and that will put her in harms way a lot more with greater risk.

I will try to get on here more often now that Marie and I are retired and we start to do some traveling once this virus crap is over...
