Don’t give up on the airfare or the hotel. They might be able to just pay a re-booking fee. They might get lucky with the hotel (or maybe you and Mike have a 2 day get away
)

I know what you mean. I don’t have to worry though, I don’t drink Corona beer!I had that same discussion just yesterday with a friend. It is the same thing that applies down here in the south, if they are forecasting a half inch of snow the bread and milk shelves are emptied in anticipation of being house bound for decades. That reason is because a lot of people are either stupid or by coincidence they all ran out of toilet paper at the same time. I am really leaning toward the first one and blaming our "leaders" for letting our educational system fail so badly. Let's face it we have a whole lot of the walking brain dead wandering about. At least the hand sanitizer can be rationalized to some extent. Another possibility we were able to feel might be possible is that people think that the coronavirus causes diarrhea.
CNN humiliated after firestorm claiming 38% of Americans wouldn’t drink Corona beer due to coronavirus.

I think we are a long way away from that scenario. None of them closed when the regular flu hits and that kills 25,000 people per year. About (just guessing) 85% of the population would have to be flat on their backs near death before merchants could afford to shut down. The advantage or disadvantage, depending on ones perspective, to being an alleged first world nation. I believe it was FDR that stated, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself."
As I was typing this, a notice came up on my phone stating that so far Florida has two confirmed deaths due to the virus. Florida is a haven for the elderly, I know I'm one, and I will bet that many die in Florida just standing up to quickly. It is cause for concern and should be incentive to make sure that everything is being done, properly, to protect as many of us as possible.

Auntie didn’t make the decision to cancel - her daughter did.
Aunt Jan is fearless. She is 7 years into a disease that traditionally has a 5-year mortality rate; she lived in Tanzania by herself on and off for 30+ years; she’s had malaria more times than you can count; she has cared for and held orphan infants as they died from AIDS back in the 80’s, when nobody really knew anything about the disease.
Fearless.
She knows that her time here on earth is wrapping up. She knows that this will probably be her last trip abroad. I just pray they are able to reschedule everything soon after this ugly COVID-19 peters out.

Of course we’re a long way and the liklihood of anything getting that apocalyptic is pretty slim - the problem is it crosses from ludicrous to likely in a blink of an eye and these doomsday preppers don’t want to be last to the Costco.

When I was younger, I used to worry about the Mad Cow disease, where it takes up to a decade or longer from catching it to start developing extreme delusions and false narratives in your mind. Luckily I've since moved on from that worry. It also helps that I'm Gandalf The Grey and can fly an X-Wing to Hogwarts if things ever get bad. Live long and prosper.

Apparently my ice skating days are over, so I told Ski to ask if Gen wanted my skates.
He informed me that that decision had been made quite some time ago.
In other news, I’m still not cleared to drive for at least another two weeks. I wonder who he’s giving my car to.

In light of the current coronavirus issues and my compromised immune system, we've decided to stop any and all home visits from the various health care organizations that have been coming this past week. Since DH is so helpful, I don't really need their assistance anyway, and I'm sure there are many who do.

Good call.
I’ve been out of the house four times in the past four weeks ... all connected to physio or seeing the surgeon.
I kind of feel like I’ve gone through two 14-day quarantines. Mike is still working 6 days/week ... so I remain housebound.
On the plus side, I cleaned out and reorganized the pantry today. Fun times.

That's kind of funny! I have a friend who sells Thirty-one gifts and she puts together gift bags for cancer patients with crossword puzzles, magazines, etc in a thirty-one bag. People can sponsor a bag. I think it's a great idea.

Awww...I just won a wellness day for two (spa day) in a monthly lottery thing here, but it's really not my thing, so I gave it away to someone in my choir. It's too bad you don't live over here! I could have passed it on to you!
I heard Amazon took down thousands of accounts because they were price gauging with hand sanitizer.

NY state has prisoners making our own brand of hand sanitizer. It sounds like a joke. It is not.
