  1.  @deplorablemecoptera3024  Yes, we'll make it through this. It's being made more difficult by the hoarders and "worried well" now, bu that will drop off in time as we get more retailers limiting purchases of some items and more testing available to those who are symptomatic. The best advice from what I learned from my ten years as a respiratory therapist is self-isolate to the degree possible, maintain social distance when you can't, and avoid anyone coughing or sneezing. Wash your hands, but it doesn't need to be obsessive. If you can't get hand sanitize, you can make your own. There are a bunch of recipes online, mostly consisting of 99% isopropyl alcohol and a little aloe vera. If you can't get isopropyl, buy some straight Everclear from the liquor store. It's 200 proof, or 100% ethanol alcohol. Works just as good, and you can always use it in mixed drinks to calm you down as well. :-)

  2. I was also planning on being in Mobile, but it looks like we'll have to postpone that. Too bad, but it will come off in good time. Now that I'm spending all my time at home, the upside is I have time to dig into the pile of naval history. books I haven't gotten around to yet.

  3. I can't imagine that you'd have a good trip, Drach, even if you can make it here. Now that travel from the UK is suspended, you'd have to spend fourteen days in quarantine if even you did get here, many of the ships/museum are closing, and more and more hotels, restaurants, and any places of public accommodation are also closing. I'd like to think we will regain our sanity in three weeks, but I doubt it. If it was me, I'd just cancel and reschedule for maybe the summer, when there's a better chance this thing will have blown over.
