Illinois is still mostly shut down. Wisconsin and Indiana are open. I suspect lots of folks will be traveling to adjacent states over the holiday weekend. Guess we'll see what they bring home from their travels....

It's already falling apart. We have a a food truck arranged to come to a neighborhood in our HOA every Wednesday. There was a Chicago grub truck and I was craving an Italian beef, so I ordered. When I went I was the only person wearing a mask. Including the food truck workers which is a violation here. Last time I order from them.

"interesting" is a good choice of words. Hope the next weeks are not as bad as some have predicted.

Yes, I'm noticing a real split in how people are behaving. I really think we will see waves of infection from different areas. I've felt some 'pandemic fatigue'... I have to remind myself every morning to move with care - especially because I don't want to be a vector for transmission should it hit me.

I was born for a pandemic. I'm down like at least 13 lbs. Staying active. My house is so clean. cars are spotless. Indiana isn't wide open. People are staying in. Got a haircut appointment for tuesday evening. Although it's opening incrementally I personally think the wildcard is drinkers. Bars and alcohol and that whole macho mentality. Like that wisconsin bar that opened and the TV footage I was like "all yall need to go get your blood pressure checked" with all that pink skin. We'll see I guess. A bad respiratory virus swept through here from December to early Feb right before Corona, so bad by 2/1 that they closed all schools for a week. It was BAD and everyone had it. I still get bouts of shortness of breath now and then. But each time they come they are of shorter duration. No wheezing or anything. just can't catch my breath it's the wierdest thing. I have to vacuum more often too. But as I said my house has never been so clean!!!

The belligerently unmasked people. the ones who stare at everyone in masks. I'm like "you've never been in a neonatal care atmosphere have you?"

We had a water leak in the wall, and had to have a plumber out today. We asked him to wear a mask. He did so, without complaint. I asked him while we were walking around at one point how the virus is affecting him, and he said it was the first time today he'd put on a mask. | |||

We had to have a plumber in because of a stopped-up drain. It was just after the start of the shutdown. But no ill effects. Would have worsened terribly if problem hadn't been addressed.

Bob's Parkinson's Disease has made it very difficult for him to have a BM. It is so bad, despite his special diet and meds, it has caused an inguinal hernia which requires surgery. The surgeon uses a hospital that treats Covid patients. He says the PD has also slowed his brain functions, but that is no very evident. His depression may be causing some of that.

A good article on what is known NOW about managing virus risk: "A simple suggestion: Imagine people are smoking, or farting really bad, and try to avoid breathing it in" https://www.vox.com/2020/5/22/...ial-distancing-chart

Crappy example.  Seriously, though, smoke rises, droplets fall. And anyone who farts is 99.9% likely to be wearing a fart mask. | |||

My Mom has sold her house so June will be interesting..I will have to rent a van to drive down to do clean out and drive back (about a 800 mile round trip). Masks fine, but I may have to research rest stops and gas stations for the trip... I will stay at the house that has not been lived in since February but I have asked a friend to come by and help me move furniture.
