    Disney World is closed, which is a blessing. The the I-4 freeway is actually usable. Unfortunately everything else is closed, so there is no where to go.

    Heard on the news this morning it might get down close to a buck. Not many places to go that are open, so I guess I won't be burning a lot of that cheap gas.  :/ Bob

    Finally taking the time to set up a will and getting my affairs in order.  Been putting it off a very long time and this little kick in the a** has put me to some serious soul searching.

    Everyone gets to work from home but me. So, I am on GB forums. LOL
    Actually though, my 50+ minute commute each way has been 35 minutes each way, running speed limit or above due to lack of traffic. Bad thing is gas stations are thinning out and my old truck doesn't run on the company's excuses of why I need to be here (I am in I.T., the most capable to work from home).

    Lack of traffic made the 445 miles I drove today for my job a lot easier, no school zones and no morons driving with a cranial anal inversions.

    I had the same conversation with myself last night. I have only been able to get about 3 hours sleep per night, due to sleep apnea and breathing issues. Couple that with a badly regurgitating Mitral valve, I doubt I would survive the virus as I would more than likey be one of the "serious" cases. Would be my worst fear. Slowly suffocating. Terrifying.


    If I disappear off the forums, you will know why.

    (And) I think by the time all is said and done - there is ZERO upside to this virus. I think once this thing takes off in the US (like in Italy) all the people that think this is overblown hype, will be singing a different tune. I hope not, but I am afraid this thing is going to get ugly. (For me especially. See my above post.) I am extremely concerned.

    In an incredibly bad stroke of luck, I took the last four months off, after being let go at work. (Before this virus was on anybody's radar.) Now I HAD to get back to work. Just in time to really need to take that 4 months off and stay at home. Can't win for losing.

    Station in our town usually runs a special on gas on Wednesday.  Yesterday they had gas for $1.50 a gallon.

    Haven't been out since Tuesday, but it was still $2.42 here in Ogden, Utah. I don't know if any of our refineries have cut production either due to less demand or staff cutback, but there's been no price change here for weeks.

    Living this virus every day as my son is a nurse and his finacee.   Enjoying their company as they are staying with me.

    For all you guys with breathing problems, take a look at Serrapeptase on Amazon.  It could help.  For those with trouble sleeping,
    I find that Bible reading helps a lot.  Hang in there.

    He lives near the place. That would be a blessing if you live there.

    The tourist will kill you driving in that area. They will drive along looking for something and at the last minute a kid in the back seat screams out..."THERE IT IS DAD" and dad takes a sudden right from the left lane and will take you out if need be to not miss whatever it is they're looking for.  :o

    The good thing about this virus is that it evidently kills the regular flu that comes through every year. I haven't hear about anybody catching the flu that wasn't the Coronavirus. What gives?? Where is the flu that everybody was getting a vaccination for back in the fall?
