MacReady Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hearing speculation of a national quarantine starting Monday. If it happens, I'll officially be living at work. I'm not complaining. I'm thanking my lucky stars to be in that situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Man.. the first half of my day was filled with optimism. people in the rural community are taking it seriously finally. People I saw last week who scoffed and rolled their eyes looked SCARED this week. the problem? It was a busy tourist weekend. People from Vancouver and Portland flooded our small town. People are tired of being cooped up and went hiking... GREAT! The problem? dont come into a grocery store in a community of 2k people, 12 hikers at a time to use the restroom while their friends just linger in the deli area GTFO!

Went to a boutique pop-up show he did in Hermosa Beach for my birthday year before last. Less than 50 people got into the whole show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Not sure how true this is, but I read yesterday that China reported that they had no new confirmed virus reports for 24 hours for the very first time in months. if this is true, then that's a good sign moving forward. Still worried that we may have to cancel our vacation entirely (set to start June 15th) and hope that airbnb refunds us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would cancel now, replan if things get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wants to wait until the first week of May to see if things get better in hopes that they understand that this is unusual circumstance and refund us (which is possible I guess). But I'm worried that if we wait that long and things do get better that they may just say no refund. In my head, this is only 3 months away and things are going to get worse before they get better. So by the time things do get better, it's going to take more than 3 months to get back to normal. (meaning the economy and all that) But, at the same time I get it from her POV too because it's a tough spot to be in too. We wouldn't be able to replan things because spots fill up so quickly, which is why we plan this every year in JAN or FEB. And because the kids start school so early and she has to go to work a week early (she's a school secretary ) this doesn't leave much more time to plan for anything.

This is unprecedented. We will likely not see something of this magnitude again and with the overwhelming uncertainty of everything, just be safe, fella.
