The only problem I see with a mere dozens of people lying on beaches when it is upwards of 30 and higher outside is, it's harder to limit access to the beach to only a few people vs. just closing them for everybody.  I was going to go to the beach last week and we would have been the only ones there, but decided against it for unrelated reasons.

Sorry, but Uvah passed away last year.

... as for the cheques.. literal paper checks? that you have to pay in at the bank in person?

All well here still, all shops still open although some with reduced opening hours.  Still increase in cases, as most over the world, but seems to be less then most countries.  That's by going on the web site that Johns Hopkins University has made, there Sweden were somewhere at the top 10 at the beginning but now at 21st place.

In regards to all this, and the spreading of germs, I saw this video on another forum and found it quiet interesting.  So thought I post it here for you all to view it, it sure gives a few things to consider in regards to it all.

For those interested in statistics about the coronavirus, I think an excellent source is the John Hopkins Univerity.

Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU)

Looks like fatalities might be higher than initially reported in the UK. We're expecting a spike in reports soon

Hi everyone! Hope you are all OK. I have been stuck in the house with my two boys (15 and 10) for 2 weeks now. I am really worried about catching this thing as I have lots of health issues these days, and I'm pretty sure I won't survive it if it gets me. I have some friends and family to get things for me, but I doubt there will be anything to buy when they go.

Had to live without internet for 3 days when the modem broke down, (good timing modem!!) but all is fixed now. 

Might have to start skinning again if the boredom gets any worse, maybe some new cursors for the new CursorFX? We'll see......

Take care everyone, stay safe.

We are good in Florida. no symptoms. Me and my husband are both under 65 and healthy (knock on wood), We have no $$ issues so far, pantry stocked. Our trip to Alaska is put on hold, we cancelled our yearly BBQ and Jim is a World wide wrestling fan, his outing in Tampa was cancelled. all restaurants and bars are closed but most have take out or curbside service. Liqueur stores and grocery stores still open. We gather at friends homes and have meetings on Zoom. Together and united we do pretty good! 

Be good to each other!!  

The trip to Alaska doesn't bother me at all, unless it's a cruise ship--it's the trip back to Florida again that's the problem.

I have mixed feelings about going back to work tomorrow (in a nursing home), but so far so good. None of my patients or collegues are sick or showing symptomes from the Covid-19 virus (yet), so fingers crossed we can keep it that way as long as possible.

Spinach and black beans are loaded with it.  Found out about that while I was battling "old man cramps".
