How is the corona virus affecting you?

The bars were apparently closed in Florida yesterday via a "tweet" :facepalm: effective immediately, i.e. no notice whatsoever.

Closed here, too. You can still buy alcohol, you just have to drink it at home. Sounds reasonable, to me.

The Government is considering imposing the first local lockdown "within days" following a surge in Covid-19 cases in Leicester, the Home Secretary has confirmed.

The Health Secretary Matt Hancock is reportedly examining the legislation required for the shutdown after it was revealed that there have been 658 cases of the coronavirus in the Leicester area in the fortnight to June 16.

This is your neck of the woods Lullabelle and The Velvet Curtain...

It is, it is centred around the Spinney Hills area in the Muslim community and follows Eid. They have put in mobile test stations and the thing appears to be dampening down. The Leicester Mayor is talking of reversing some of the openings in the affected parts of the city, not across the whole area.

The stupidity of relaxing the regulations.

It is symptomatic of these times when a day that involves taking out some recycling and sending off a couple of things at the post office feels like a fulfilling one.

This can prove to be a full day, depending on how things are going. The lines at the newly reopened recycling centers in Michigan can be very long, with limited entry. We pay 10 cents a bottle or can when purchased, and we get that money back when we return them. There has been a 3 month stack up of returnables that I am slowly dipping into. We are limited to $25 per visit when returning cans and bottles...this is seriously only a fraction of what I have piling up in my basement from the past 3 months: everyone in my house drinks beverages in returnables, and everyone's been home the entire time. Math!

My local post office periodically shuts down with signs that suggest that someone in the office has contracted the virus. Or, maybe it's just that they have to give the place a deep cleaning? The upshot is that I need to go to a post office further away, and that office of course now has the customers of two offices (or more). My wife has started selling her clothes online, and she's doing quite well, which means I need to run packages to the post office several times a week. Most recently, my local office was closed, and the next one had their bins so full I had to cram everything into a mailbox outside the office.

Clearly, a lot more people are leaning on the post office these days. Aside from healthcare workers, they face more potential exposure than anyone.
 
l ate a restaurant for the first time since mid March, yesterday. I enjoyed it. I did eat outside, and had breakfast. I was the only person eating outside - I wore a sweater and I do not mind 60 degrees F in the slightest. Omelet (sausage, onion, mushroom, Swiss cheese) with English muffin and coffee. And some undistinguished home fries.
 
I have to travel again for work departing on July 5th. This time I chose to fly on Delta out of Detroit as their site says they are keeping middle seats empty. Fingers crossed as it's a long flight to California.

I am not excited about doing this as the uptick in cases has me concerned.
