Same here. A week ago, there weren’t any reported cases in Maryland, DC or Virginia. Now...plenty, including one reported in our County. We have plenty enough US gov employees & contractors that routinely travel to high impact areas, including China & Italy. A major Church in DC is now notifying folks that their rector & organist have it...500 ppl just like that possibly infected.....but at least exposed.

Happy Tuesday! 
Corona is just a new kind of flu, At the end the virus is know for years. We need to find a vaccine to beat it.

If they had one I wouldn't. If you contract the virus it's too late for a vaccine. They don't even have enough tests to find out who is carrying it. The antivirus meds I've read about have to be administered early or they won't work and they don't have any anyway. I'm with Tom on this one. The news is really blowing it all out of proportion. So why are they doing that?There is around 7 billion people on our planet. They are reporting a few hundred thousand have it. Dangerous viruses are a part of our lives everyday. They don't even know what viruses are going to be prevalent from year to year for this year's vaccine to protect us from the flue. God love them for trying though. The bottom line is you must be doing something right to have only gotten the sniffles. The best thing is wash your hands, don't touch your face with dirty hands, and stay out of close quarters with a large amount of people.
I worked outside today in the yard... 83F was actually pretty nice!!!! I expanded the little tortoise yard from 200 square ft to 400 square ft.. pickles is completely set up with yard and night box... now have to decide if I’m going to make toretto’s 4x8 night box a double and divide his yard ......or start completely over with another 4x4box and a whole new yard??? I was really hoping to have a same sex group of three so I could put them all together but I’m pretty sure that’s not what’s happening... :-(. Would y’all think me horrible if I admit that I have considered rehoming one of the little ones??? I could only do it if I knew it was going to have a great home but I honestly don’t know that anyone could do that to my satisfaction.... I’m just not looking forward to building a third yard... kicking myself in the butt!!! And even if I did find a perfect home, I couldn’t pick which one to let go.. they are both so different and I’m pretty attached to them... ok... I’ve answered my own thoughts and I’m through venting now... lol!!!
One of the things I love is that him and I are so in tune with each other. I know when he's going to be up earlier. The way the sun is shining and the air wakes me up earlier on certain days. He always greets me at the front door of his hut on those special days. If he's still lounging it's just a few moments and he's at his front door for breakfast. It's so cute.
You just reminded me to wash my phone and not pick my nose...??
I would never consider you wrong for rehomeing if it was best for the animal. I did have to wait several years for a good outcome for Daisy May. In the meantime...

Half week! Keep strong, weekend is coming! ?
Same with Michigan 2.
I agree, I am one of those people that don't trust who the government is putting in the flu vaccine. I am not a conspiracy theorist. But I guess I am on the flu shot. ?
My wife Rose thinks Opo knows the days I am not feeling well. She says he usually comes out to eat and then go back in his box.
Maybe its just because I don't greet him in the morning and feed him.
Goodmorning everyone, therapy is called off until I get my new arm and leg. Prosthesis comes today but it's for the final fitting. Probably 2 weeks more until they are finished. I have great design on them. I will take pics when I get them.
Enjoy your weds.

Sunny day today, soooooo good after more than one Week of clouds and rain...
Nice work. It’s also lots of work to set up three separate night boxes & pastures & indoor areas. If you have the time, energy, funds & space, sounds like you made up your mind. But, if you can create two really great spots for two, re-homing one might be best long term solution. I have my hands full with one.
I have thought exactly this... but it makes me feel so guilty.. I have never taken animal care lightly
