Hi Folks,
I optimistically hope everyone in our community and their family and friends are healthy and safe. I know this is a difficult time, and unfortunately will be for many more months.
Here (in a Dallas suburb) the reported cases are still relatively low, but we aren't anywhere near having widespread testing yet. Local officials are encouraging social distancing, my son's university has switched to online classes for the rest of the semester (so he is back home), and my daughter has, at the very least, an extra week of spring break (I seriously doubt she'll go back at all this semester though). My wife works for a different school district and they've extended her spring break and I doubt too she will be going back to work this semester. Restaurants are open and still pretty busy; I suspect that will change soon. Finding toilet paper (actually any paper products) in local grocery stores / Costco has been difficult, and the meat and produce aisles have been wiped pretty bare at some stores (do people not realize that bananas will only keep for a week???). All just minor inconveniences. Our medical health care structure is still functioning okay right now. All in all, we are doing okay here but I realize we are further behind the infection curve compared to a lot of other countries.
How are you all doing?
