CDC and the government may be loosening the lockdown

News

The states still control this tho but I would expect a lot of states to follow the suggestions. Not the Plague Centers tho. So maybe we will be able to RV again.

We are going out to find some cotton material that can be used to make washable masks. They recommend the stuff like tee shirts are made of. 6 or 8 layers. It will not stop viruses but will stop spray from coughs and sneezes.

    That's a shame some areas are considering loosening the rules. This virus hasn't peaked yet. Those areas that decide to go against the professionals advice are playing with lives.

    Now that's a good idea. I thought about using some of that a/c or furnace filters that they sell.

  • Possible CDC recommendation to loosen the guidelines makes me nervous.
