With the borders shut down I wouldn't be able to drive through Canada to get her. Besides, she's young and healthy and the odds of her catching the China flu are virtually zero. Especially since she's in a very remote location and her camp is shut down, nobody in or out.
We're able to text a couple times a day. Plus I'm able to call her when I'm on top of a hill like now or from town. During our married life we've been separated due to work for over 50% of the time. I guess we're used to it. She's planing on retiring in a couple more years.
I think that's the way it is in most of the country outside of the highly populated areas. If I lived in NYC or LA then I might be a little more concerned. Unless I go to town I never see another person.
Hope you were that one weirdo in PPE..... seriously I can’t believe how many people still don’t see this as a real threat.
Agree 100%.
Not to mention divorce rates, domestic violence and sucide rates will go up too.
Yeah, just think of all those men out there offing themselves because their wives drove them crazy! ( my wife may take the shorter route and just shoot me now)....
I agree will all you said, and I'll raise you one:
Thank you.
It sounds like you have a good family that pulls together when needed. Wishing y'all the best.We are still self quarantined on the place. Spent the day trying to stay busy with yard work on the property. It was an absolutely beautiful spring day. The birds were singing. We were mowing grass and doing garden chores like every spring. It seems almost eerily quiet. No traffic noise in the distance. Like the world is just standing still holding it's breath to see when the bottom is going to drop out.
My oldest son texted this morning and I guess he is going to try to bug out. He lives in Central Florida and is going to try to make it back up here to a very isolated rural property that we own. On the way picking up his baby sister. Their plan is to spend 14 days at the rural property (cabin) and quarantine. Then possibly join up here and help us hold the fort down. I hate them on the road but atleast they are together. Both are single. My oldest daughter also checked in and my granddaughter (17) had ACL surgery today from a high school basketball injury. They could not postpone the damage was too bad. She has had such a hard time. She is a senior and now no prom, senior trip or graduation ceremony. My heart just breaks for her. Meanwhile my daughter is homeschooling the other 3 grands all under the age of 10. Lord I would not want that job. Grandma would just flunk them all and we would go fishing! National Fishing Day
Tn case total is up to 957 but no reported cases is the county. Don't know how they would know we don't have a hospital to test at.
Be careful and stay alert
Am glad to hear you have a space for them to self quarantine in for at least the 14 days. We have an unused cabin here as well that has been sitting idle for a while now but would be usable with some effort. Unfortunately my family are spread to the winds in Utah, NY and some in Fla. the fla ones could drive if need be but the others would be a flight. Can you even fly domestically still? Not to mention would you want to go through a major airport right now or even on a plane seat? I think right now traveling by car would be the only choice I would consider.We are still self quarantined on the place. Spent the day trying to stay busy with yard work on the property.

I have driven three days one-way on a business trip to avoid flying during "normal times" so...

You sound like me with teaching! Yet my oldest daughter has always homeschooled hers. Yep, no time off for them! She isn’t letting them have even a day off...while all the other kids in the neighborhood run around. Yesterday she was exasperated that she had to run kids off yet again. At least they have a large fenced yard and a garden as well as 10 fruit trees.
Generally I believe in minding my own business, but this is one case where I probably would have intervined too.
Hey Brent, I'm pretty sure that there are roads between Utah and your place. Just an fyi.
