I have pulled in my wings as we now have 77 cases and 5 deaths meaning we are still having community transmission but nothing like what is happening your neck of the woods!<br /><br />I AM shocked at photos of people without masks in groups. Some are even my own family in various parts of the USA. I read that the USA is the only country that has "politicized" mask wearing..........the only country. <br /><br />I'm so glad you are being cautious and staying home! I do believe unfortunately, that is part of the "new" normal. I have heard from several friends in the USA whose offices are saying in the future they will continue to "work from home". I also read<br />that the commercial real estate market will be in major decline for many years to come.<br />I think, concerning the young people, that at the very beginning of this they said the only people who had to be concerned were those over 60. BUT, I have a friend's<br />won who is in his mid-50's who has been on a ventilator for almost a month in Houston after going out with a friend who was "asymptomatic" Yikes.......<br /><br />There needs to be more direct information in ads or something to get the attention of the young people and everyone about the dangers. It seems in the USA people are<br />tuning out.<br /><br />I did drive around San Miguel yesterday, with my mask on (ha) and only saw one person in my twenty minute drive who did not have a mask on. He was a young man whizzing by on his bike! There is a fine here if you don't wear a mask!!!<br /><br />Take care and keep writing. Love hearing what's going on up there. BTW, my brother and sister-in-law just left Houston and moved to Ft. Worth to be near my niece, her husband and their two grandchildren. BIG move as they had been in their house in Houston for 45 years! They say the lack of humidity is wonderful compared to Houston!<br />Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-6549398016481103332020-06-26T08:37:08.687-05:002020-06-26T08:37:08.687-05:00Here in Fort Worth/Tarrant County we are about to ...Here in Fort Worth/Tarrant County we are about to hit 10,000 cases and over 200 deaths. The number has been rising rapidly since "reopening" started in May and more so since Memorial Day. The mayor here finally signed an order requiring masks when out in public and in restaurants/bars. I go get groceries and now and then get food to-go to help restaurants survive. Other than that I'm staying at home and it now looks like it is going to continue for a much longer period. Young people are resisting wearing masks and what to go back to a normal routine. Understandable desire, but it doesn't help.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878896911999969010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-90596195052147763102020-06-19T22:45:32.702-05:002020-06-19T22:45:32.702-05:00Ahh, Phil, Sedona is a magnificent place to live. ...Ahh, Phil, Sedona is a magnificent place to live.

PT is the such a help. This is a stressful time and having been injured just added to the whole level of concern, I'm sure. <br />You have been out more then I! I'm glad you have been able to do so. What part of the country, USA? or Mexico? do you live in? <br />Take care and thanks for commenting.

So it has been a slow recovery. Two months with a cast, then a "boot." Since March I have been doing physical therapy twice a week. We have our temperatures checked, and must wear masks. But it does get me out of the house twice a week without guilt, for which I am grateful. I've finally got to the point where I can drive my car, although I am still using a walker. I have managed to get out for breakfast about 4 times, which is nice. Most restaurants have removed about 1/2 of their tables. In 3 weeks I'll be 92, so don't get out much anyway. No crowds, no dinners. Oh, I did get my hair cut once in May.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159288023048032948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-69865151349703528622020-06-18T13:00:14.935-05:002020-06-18T13:00:14.935-05:00Hi Bill.

CDMX has had a major issue with COVID. A dear friend of ours who has a house there and one here has come here because we have had few cases and only 3 deaths so far. Everyone here is wearing masks and very little has reopened. Hotels and B&Bs etc are scheduled to open in August, but who knows. What a mess! Thinking of you......and Alejandro!

I do not feel comfortable traveling on a plane. It's more than just the risk to myself; I fear bringing the virus to Alejandro's household where some of the family is very much at risk. Plus the numbers of cases keep climbing (even though they are undercounted). Things may not be too bad in San Miguel, but Mexico City is a whole different story. <br />Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-37602075410243816732020-06-18T11:05:13.124-05:002020-06-18T11:05:13.124-05:00Hi Bill.

I stayed once with a couple who have a house in Alameda (not sure of the spelling) and we spent time at the Marina as they had a sailboat! Loved the aarea and the funkiness of Berkeley!. Glad you are getting out a bit as well. I guess we are all learning to find the things that give us pleasure and are still safe!Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-25450735706200990622020-06-18T09:02:46.946-05:002020-06-18T09:02:46.946-05:00I've been keeping busy working in the garden. ...I've been keeping busy working in the garden. My social life is limited to occasional chats with the neighbors at a safe distance and frequent sessions on Skype with friends and family in Ohio, Mexico and Switzerland.

And then the past two Sundays we have driven to Berkeley Marina (about 5 miles) to exercise the car and have a nice walk while we were there to exercise our bodies. It's a place with very few people about and lovely views across the Bay to San Francisco. That's it! Sounds like you're getting out a tiny bit, but safely. Good to see people and "new" sights, isn't it?Dana Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875808599501168743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-42527926838436760522020-06-17T14:30:26.579-05:002020-06-17T14:30:26.579-05:00So great to hear from someone who has been staying...So great to hear from someone who has been staying home as well!

I'll be his first client of the day - and the only one at that time. I am so looking forward to it! Then I'll walk a bit - just to enjoy being out. As to the world - I think it's gone to hell in a hand basket - particularly the U.S. Mercy. I'm so very glad I live in Mexico!Barbara Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619511749548265127noreply@blogger.com
