Well, I'm "stuck" outside Palm Harbor, Fl. Sanibel and Captiva were great and all was well in Naples. Due to fly home Saturday and have been asked to do a 14 day self quarantine once I get back. One day at a time I guess.

Governmental work. Normal duties could be put to a halt and shifted to whatever else may need done.
However, in the evenings and weekends 20 miles away from city lights and COVID19.
Schools closed here until at least April 28th. Restaurants have closed unless they shifted to takeout. But many indicate it doesn’t pencil out. Lots of other business have shuttered. Grocery stores offer special hours and days for elderly or more at risk persons to shop.
I have a pretty good feeling let’s say, and by tomorrow evening Oregon’s Gov Brown will place a quarantine with guard activation and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a boarder closure or restriction to Washington at Portland / VanCouver. Look at California, just ordered all to stay home tonight. Please listen, and remember any order or quarantine will at some point be lifted / reduced. Don’t do anything foolish you might regret later please.
This is going to be a very rough patch. However, stay strong, be safe, have compassion and please please follow directives to save not only you but countless others. We will get through this and I believe it will unite our country even more once all is said and done.
Cherish your loved ones and pray to what greater power you may believe in because we all need it.

Senior officials that I know and talk to said it’s more likely 1st or 2nd quarter of 2021. Trump could easily attach tariffs to all imported oil, and then control domestic oil to be $5 less per barrel. That would maintain the industry, help energy investments and keep people employed. It would also stabilize the gas market, which isn’t as tied to oil cost as much as people think. There is some movement but not consistent
Wall St. Journal article:
"The Kids Are Home From College. And Parents Are Trying to Cope."
The adjustments are many. Parents, for instance, are grappling with the different schedules of their college-age kids, creating designated workspaces for everyone and allocating tasks to help out with household chores. Many have also been frustrated that their independent-minded children have returned home with childlike expectations of being served and pampered. And some are worried that their children might have been exposed to the coronavirus—and in turn are exposing the rest of the family to it.
“I was so frazzled with all the cooking, cleaning and laundry,” says Helene Wingens, of Livingston, N.J., whose sons Andrew and David have both returned home, one from Harvard Law School and the other from Tufts University. Another son, Jon, who works for Citibank, has also returned home.
“Our big worry now is if we have enough bandwidth on our Wi-Fi, and we have upgraded our speed on Optimum,” Ms. Seltzer says.
One thing parents don’t have to worry about: The rapidly evolving pandemic situation has halted almost all social interaction with people outside the family, so parents don’t have to set down rules about whom their children meet.
“There is no negotiation any longer on who children can meet or hang out with outside the house. At this time they cannot meet anyone.
Ms. Wingens’s sons have created a nightly meal plan for the family on Google docs. The family is also creating a collage called Corona2020 to record their memories of these times.
Dr. Ross, meanwhile, says she has instituted a candlelight dinner for the family every weekday night.
“My son’s eyeballs rolled the most when I suggested the dinner plan, but he has since been the most supportive family member,” she says.
