Please check in and post how you are doing through these difficult times. I find myself thinking and wondering about my fellow Bums and concerned about you all. Are you still working? How is Covid19 affecting your area? Are you being as safe as possible, staying home, washing hands, social distancing etc?

My wife and I are both retired and have been staying home for the last 21 days. We have make quick specific grocery runs 3 times and then head home and clean up as best we can. I told kids and grandkids to stay away, but to please call and visit often. Emotionally we are doing well. On nice days I get outside and do yard work and am getting close to having the garden ready to plant. Love doing stuff like that. I also get in a cigar once in a while.

They have not tested very many people for Covid around here (SWMO) but have had some positives. I figure there are likely more cases, but we just try our best to remain safe. Our next door neighbor is making us masks that we will use in future trips for necessities.

Please post here so we know how you all are doing.
The wifey and I are still good. The kids, grandkids and great grandkids are well also. Mom and dad are both 83 and have bad hips. Two weeks ago Saturday, dad fell and broke his femur at the hip and was taken to he hospital. Last Saturday, mom fell and wopped her head and was took to the hospital. I couldn't go and see either with the virus crap. Mom seems ok, but they want her to come back in next week for more tests. They still have dad in the hospital as he's ready for some sort of rehab, but nobody will take him in. Hopefully, he'll be released around the 20th and can start some kind of rehab. He just got over a dose of the Pmonia's during Christmas, right after he got over a dose of having his colon re-repaired after having his colon punctured. That poor guy has been through hell. Anyhow, we're all still kicking but running around to take care of all of their needs. Just simple things like mail, mowing and feeding pets. Just adds up and the day is gone. I have snuck in a bit of fishing. Although the fishing has been slow, it's just nice to get out and try not to get a dose of the virus....
