That whole incident really opened my eyes as to how fast something like that can sweep through a group of people. It was just a matter of hours. Almost instant, when compared to the way this coronavirus can sit for days and days before symptoms show up, if they show up at all.
On that note, many years ago my in-laws were on a cruise along Alaska. Several hundred people got norovirus. My mother-in-law had to spend a few days in the ship's infirmary. My father-in-law didn't get it.
Anyhow, as to what we're doing to wait it out, not much. My job put us on some restrictions... we can't work in pairs, we all had to move out of our central workshop and set up individual work stations (drill chargers, walkei talkie chargers, iPad chargers, mini-fridge, etc...) in separate buildings. Have to try to keep 6' distance from each other and contractors if we have to do a joint job. Unnecessary maintenance has to be postponed. My wife's work is trying to get laptops for as many of their office workers as possible. The ones that they can't get them for have to come in, but they're spacing them out to put empty cubicles between them.
I canned 25# of dry white rice yesterday evening. Was planning on doing that anyway. Made 6 jars of corn relish today.
We're planning on putting a 24x24 addition onto the back of our garage this summer, so I hurried up and drew up site plan to scale, gathered all the info needed, and stopped by the county building department yesterday at lunch to get the permit. I was worried they'd close/curtail county government office hours in the near future, so I got that done so we can start in April hopefully.
