Maybe this winter is over. Today will be in the fifties and I can finally bike without slipping on icy patches but last week we had yet another storm that closed the schools for two days and kept me inside for three while worrying about various family members sliding to their death on the roads. I did not plan a winter escape as usual so no reprieve from this tundra though this winter on record is considered mild. We did plan a trip this spring to do a river cruise. So far the countries we will visit are relatively free from corona virus but the trip could be easily be derailed even if we have symptoms of a cold. And Steve has a constant cough due to his digestive issues.
China's system of punishing truth tellers got us into this mess and our country is not much better. Putting Pence in charge of the crisis? He is notoriously anti-science. The CDC has been drastically defunded. The only bright side is that this virus finally might get rid of the Orange One though as he has said, he could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th avenue and people will still love him. Sadly he is right. Meanwhile no signs of the infection in our state though are they able to test for it with no kits. We have masks originally meant to keep grass particles from irritating Steve as he mows the grass.
Meanwhile people near and dear have been hospitalized for other reasons. My cousin-in-law's widow still lies semi-conscious with little sign of recovery. Another family member had a medical emergency though now seems fine. And a friend whose surgery was supposed to take 4 days to recover from is going on week 5 of hospitalization.
Little issues gnaw at me. Awaiting sunshine.

Sigh on the medical mayhem.
I have two family members seriously considering travel plans. Their ultimate destinations are ok for the moment but they have to transit through places which are not. Irritatingly we learn that travel insurance doesn't cover pandemics, so if they do have to cancel they will lose their money.
Fortunately the river cruise company we are using says we can cancel without penalty up to 24 hours in advance.
No virus so far where we live but my in-laws in Seattle Washington are impacted quite a bit. My SIL has to work from home. Steve's mother is confined to her room and can't have visitors in her nursing home though no one there has the disease yet. No more enrichment activities for her.
The usual traffic infested roads are empty there.
