Leaving in a bit to go to school so kids can turn in instruments and Chromebooks. We've been there all week for 4 hours each day and we've only collect 125 Chromebooks out of about 650. I've only receive 23 instruments out of my 175 that I gave out this year. Tomorrow I turn in my keys and I am done! Well until August when I have to go back and unpack all the boxes in my former room, looking for my own personal stuff. They had transportation come in and pack our rooms. They unpacked boxes and repacked them, mixing up all of my stuff with school stuff. We're still not allowed into our rooms so this will have to wait. |
Our LRS puts on many events during the year and is waiting to figure out whether the July 4th race is a go. I know they are also trying to come up with a plan to make it "safe" if we get to the stage where groups of more than 10 are allowed to gather or if the GOvernor decides regardless of what he has put out as max group size, sporting events/races are ok. I will not be racing regardless.| 2020-05-21 12:21 PM in reply to: fortissimo |

Probably not the answer for the competitive and the data-centric. But if it comes down to that, it will work fine for me. Yep...I don't need to pay for something that I can live without. I would rather save my money for more bike gear than more run data. I like to run the hand calculations on a lot of the data anyways. |

So...Should I go to Dallas on Monday to see my parents. I missed my brother's 40th Birthday Part in March and my mom's 65 birthday part in April due to our precautions for Corona Virus. I was hoping that phase 1 of reopening would be safe to see immediate family. I didn't read the article what are they recommending? |

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center said last week that cases in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area could spike this summer, with a tripling of daily active cases of covid-19, the disease the novel coronavirus causes, if there is a significant easing of mitigation efforts. And PolicyLab projects that in the next month, Harris County, which includes Houston, will go from a couple hundred cases a day to more than 2,000. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED My guess is it would depend on what you have been doing as far as social contacts/distancing, what your parents have been doing, whether there's any big possibility for exposure during travel (i.e. dining in crowded restaurants or staying in hotels), and whether you/your parents have underlying medical conditions that might increase risk. If you haven't really been in any situations where you had a good chance of being exposed, and neither have your parents, then it *should be* relatively safe. I'd probably trust family more than random friends (except really close ones, maybe) or colleagues from work where you don't really know what their exposure (or their family members' exposure) in the community has been. Just thinking at this point if I had good friends or relatives that I knew (as families) had been following guidelines at least to the degree of strictness that I have, I'd be comfortable with meeting them in a small-group situation, preferably outdoors and maintaining 6 feet of distance. I would NOT be comfortable with something like a crowded restaurant, athletic event, or church service, where you don't personally know everyone and have no idea what steps, if any, they have taken to control their exposure to disease, or what their current health and hygiene habits are like. Our local transmission rates have consistently been very low and steady (we currently have only 5 or 6 active cases, only 66 total out of more than 8,000 tests and over 350,000 people). I think this is mainly due to low density, relatively little use of public transport, few college students on campus, and a general preference for outdoor over indoor activities, regardless of the pandemic. New cases haven't stopped for more than about a week at a time, but over the past 2+ months we have averaged 1-5 new cases a week, with most of those being traced to family members, contact with other known cases, or travel from cities with more widespread outbreaks. My thoughts might be different if I (or family/friends) lived somewhere where there was a lot more community spread. |

The hotels and campgrounds are still closed, so I don't know where they are staying. We decided to enforce the rule. Make sure they have individual groups under 10, they are 6+ feet apart, employees where masks, and not to issue a citation unless someone acts like a . Please say a prayer for me to make it through this weekend. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED No joke. I pray for you. I have lived in/visited a lot of countries in my life, and really have trouble envisioning people elsewhere getting violent or pulling out a weapon when told to do something to protect their health. Maybe some places like Afghanistan or the Congo where people have been through constant warfare and may be traumatized and trigger-happy. I know in Africa there were attacks on health workers during Ebola and such. But not a single other so-called "developed" country. We are really "special". |

Like Michigan, NC has a lot of rules but there has been a lot of push back on enforcement. The thing is, the people who are clamoring to "reopen" seem to be the least likely to follow the rules and the most likely to cause another flare up. You want to reopen? Then wear the damn mask. You want to reopen? Stand apart from those outside your household. Have you seen this Covid Crush model? It's interesting to play with. What if half the people did the social distancing thing? What if most people socially distanced but some people saw their 5 closest friends? What if I only see one friend? edited to make link clickable Edited by jmkizer 2020-05-22 6:55 AM |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Originally posted by JBacarella My kids came up with new entertainment with their time social distancing for COVID. They mapped out and walked a marathon today. It was low key with snacks and breaks. They had a good time together. I ran 7 miles to catch them and finished the walk with them. Michelle and the dog joined us for a couple of miles. I think they had enough of staying in. Plus both of them were at Michigan State, which is a walking campus. It's 2.5 miles wide and every thing is referenced by how long it takes to walk to it. I think after being so active, then limited for two months they needed to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Wow, that's great! How nice for the whole family (and dog, too!) to be involved. It must make you proud your kids chose to do this. |

Master 4118 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Have an awesome long weekend. Our over here in Canada (not all that far from Jim) we had ours last weekend. I have not been running or biking but just about to finish a Beach Body strength program - 21 Day Fix. Mulling over what's next but i think i am going to keep up with the strength a bit longer - it feels like the thing I always mean to do but there's is always the next race to train for. I keep reading about it's benefits for all but especially for aging women so spending some dedicated time doesn't hurt too much, i hope. This is the time with my HIM deferred to next year - i don't think i would choose to race the rest of the year even if it were possible. We brought my parents in to help out with the kids two weeks ago. They are now in our 'circle' and coming 4 days a week- this has made life nicer - it's busy having 6 people in our house but also trying to be grateful for this - since this situation is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future. under our 'emergency orders' we can bring in babysitters ... which is kind of funny so my parents are here as 'babysitters' - which is immensely helpful to us!
