Absolutely!

Clint Eastwood on Rawhide can't be beat.

Been feverishly, (pardon the pun) waiting for the cancellations to begin. Been watching Bahia Honda State Park for a cancellation for a while now and haven't seen any. Haven't these people heard? GO HOME!
Guess I'll have to keep trying.

We like Me TV. They play the old classics and it's available in nearly every location where we camp. Even if the crank-up antenna only gets two or three channels, the odds are good that one of them will be Me TV.

CNN is one of the news channels we watch but I'm a bit peeved at them for starting to call this a 'pandemic'. It just isn't, yet.

No RV trips are gonna get canceled yet. We don't cruise, so that's not an issue. We don't fly, so that's not an issue. We don't grocery shop in the big city, so that's not an issue.

We'll just go along normally, reminding ourselves to wash our hands and keep them away from our faces.

Seems like a lot of people WANT this to be more than it is and feast on the media blowing it out of proportion.

My personal feelings are that this whole virus thing is overblown. We had planned and went to the Plant City Strawberry Festival last weekend for the Reba concert. I guess we have another week to find out if we have been contaminated but then, was it the concert or stopping at Buckee's for fuel and relief both coming and going.
Unless our recent rubbing shoulders with the masses result in our demise we will be heading to Idaho via Chicago area from NOLA. If you fear the bug we may be carrying avoid all USACE parks along I55 north and I80 westbound.

Hence the inflated 3.4% death rate. As this goes on and testing becomes more available, that death rate will drop drastically.

The 3.4% is a worldwide number where testing has been much more aggressive than here. The death rate here will probably stay higher than that because testing here is so poor.
