Wondering what issues we are all experiencing. Being a snow bird in Az. and wanting to return back to home in Tn. We decided to stay in place for the time being. Being retired from the military, we unusually stay on military Rv parks, how ever several have locked down, were not taking in new arrivals. Has any one feeling the pinch on traveling where private RV parks are doing the same.What are any other issues you are experiencing other than grocery stores out of a lot of escentuals.

When we head from FL to MA in 10 days we’ve decided to add a day to the trip and go the long (but scenic) way home through the mountains, avoiding an many population centers as we can. People from home asked us to bring toilet paper if we find it because our Island supermarket keeps getting wiped out. :RDave

We're leaving Florida March 29th for Western NY and we've booked stays along the way, taking 11 days to get home. We aren't doing anything differently other than being more vigilant with our hand washing and distance from others. What worries me is if the Government shuts down the Country and issues a shelter in place order. If they do that, I'll just keep heading toward home taking the quickest route. I'll lose some deposit money but I'm not getting stranded for weeks/months someplace.

Then there are those of us who have to stay home for various reasons and head for Florida mid April. This year maybe not if the virus situation extends into July and August as HE stated recently.

My destination is NM, but it's too cold there for me. Waiting it out in a very nice CA state park hoping they'll have the good sense not to close it. If they do, it's Quartzsite next. Our worst nightmare would be closing fuel stations and/or stopping all discretionary travel, but I can't imagine why that would be effective, or enforceable.Haven't had any problem finding escentuals.

For now we are staying put in our Arizona park model. The park has shutdown all indoor activities. I had to turn in my monitor keys to the wood shop. We ventured out over the weekend and bought a Xbox One system, a second controller and some games. So far we like "The Golf Game 2" and some racing ones. DW says the golf game is helping her understand club selection.

How are others facing issues with the Coronavirus?

We have N95 masks from several years ago in our emergency supplies that we use whenever going into stores. The data sheet for the masks clearly shows they filter the 125 nm covid-19 virus.

Right now we have some dry camp trips a couple months out that we still plan on going on.

Mod's edit: Per the site Admin's request, I am closing all COVID-19 threads and directing future comments to one thread in Around the Campfire.

My suggestion WAS to see a doctor if you cough. Please refrain from cherry picking words out of a posting. This self test worked flawlessly when I failed it multiple times

BEFORE
BEFORE

Any symptoms of my late Feb symptoms of H1N1 kicked my butt and left me bedridden for 2 weeks.

Fail the test see a doctor is anything but bad info.

And please remember

IT WAS THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Who in early January pronounced LOUDLY

THE COVID19 VIRUS WAS NOT TRANSMISSABLE PERSON TO PERSON

Avoiding ingesting the virus is the only way to stay safe

Good luck. Everyone

I tried to fix your link, but it's a strange format and the forum won't display it.

Here's a shortened link to the AP site: http://bit.ly/2Ujlque.

Currency exchange rates can be pretty cruel down here. A few places eat 10% and then with Visa it doesn't appear for a week.

Would love to read that link. Tried this with H1N1 and failed perhaps 20 times in 5 days and gave up.

Best way is to not contract the virus

I get my nitrile gloves from our local Hazardous Freight, put them on in the morning, then take them off in a sterile manner before I come back through the front door. I don't have to wash my hands a million times. I'm about to put my rig up for sale sadly, so no worry now about where we'll go. I talked to a Doctor from Spain today. No covid19 patient gets a ventilator if their 60 years old or more. We could see the same thing here in the US as projections are demand will far outstrip available ventilators within a month. They project this whole thing will take 18-24 months to play out. :( Hope you all stay well.
