Anyone else doing this in these strange times? My husband and I are now both on remote work for the foreseeable future, and our Internet is good up there, so we are decamping in the next few days to head up to the lake. Now that social distancing is the new trend I can't help but think it's basically what lake life is anyway- go for walks in the woods, kayak, and read a good book without getting within six feet of anyone else!
![]() This is going to also be our first time up there for ice out, so that'll be an interesting point in a spring I'm sure no one is going to forget anytime soon. |

Nope. Looking forward to having a nice dinner with good friends on Saturday night. Not sure where we are going. No social distancing for this cat.

Andromeda321, If you look under the post McMansions, you will see that this is one of the things I have suggested that people start doing. I am taking this coronavirus very seriously and I am very upset that so many others think it’s a media hype. Good for you for doing the right thing. Didn’t

I love the newly coined phrase "social distancing" how quaint and politically correct.
It's a virus it will spread, some will die from it most will not. Simple as that. What is happening now is mass hysteria fueled by a 24X7 news cycle that has nothing better to do than whip up their viewers for ratings. That is not to downplay how severe it is, by creating mass panic it just makes it that much worse. The world will survive this, mankind as we know it will not come to an end. If anything, we should be psyched for "global warming" as once it gets hot according to scientists this thing should dissipate. |

Good way to keep people out of your hot spot. Just start coughing real bad
![]() I ponder the thought what is adequate "social distancing" while fishing? This is VERY critical for the safety of others. |

2009-2010 when Obama was President...60,000,000 Americans infected. 30,000 hospitalized...In the USA!
Anyone remember? Probably not.

The idea of limiting contact with others prior to a major outbreak is not new. Epidemiologists use data from the 1918 flu pandemic to help better plan for and avoid crises today. Here's one article that shows how two communities approached the 1918 flu, https://qz.com/1816060/a-chart-of-th...tancing-works/.
Public health officials are caught between a rock and a hard place. If they do nothing and the crises grows, people complain. If they take drastic action and a crises is minimized, people say the measures were not necessary. Right now Italy is being overwhelmed by the COVID-19 outbreak. We are a couple weeks behind them in terms of the outbreak. It certainly seems wise to take careful, thoughtful, even dramatic actions to limit the spread. Do we need to panic and make decisions based on fears? Of course not. But, thoughtful, science based decisions are prudent. |

It will be an interesting season. Rates will be low but with the market taking such a beating it may limit people wanting to tap into investments or use up cash to buy a luxury item like an island property.
Me? I will be shopping. No need to overpay now. |

In the 60's, 70's and 80's, i knew a lot of folks from various part of the lake. Block parties in neighborhoods where everyone is invited were common. The water ski races and exhibits were popular places to meet folks. Sand bars were popular before all the crazy laws enacted. Neighborhoods even had crazy boat parades! Everyone was very sociable!
Now, the mcmansion owners would complain about the block parties and sand bars. Speed limit divided the lake community. Watersport activities are almost non existence! The weekend are practically crazy with the bad attitude in boating. Social disengagement becomes the norm. Sad.

As important as these closings are, I can’t help but feel sorry for the people who will be affected the most, the hourly workers who do not have sick pay or vacation pay or any time to use. Food-service workers are going to be hit very hard by this. All those workers in all those school cafeterias. So many people live from paycheck to paycheck anyway, I’m not sure what people are supposed to do in a situation like this.

“LONDON (Reuters) - At least one in five people worldwide were infected with swine flu during the first year of the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic, an international research group said on Friday, but the death rate was just 0.02 percent.” COVID-19’s mortality rate looks to be around 3%, overall; higher for people over 65 (not sure of that number).

It would be nice if there was more responsible reporting on this. Not to downplay the threat, but to put context to it. That way the focus can be placed on protecting those who's lives really do depend on protection from it. We are NOT in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse as many would like you to believe. |

My son who works in a hospital operating room in southern new hampshire said it best last night on our way out to dinner last evening.
I wish the talking heads that are not qualified to speak about the issuse would just shut up. ............ we can't even do elective surgery anymore. Way to much misinformation. Quote:

When you have politicians pontificating about xenophobia, as if that is relevant to the situation at hand, it's pretty clear we are not in grave danger from this virus, we are in grave danger because the people who are in placed in a position of authority are completely and utterly incompetent.
For once it would be nice to see the political posturing to stop and the entire country band together and address this like adults. Fact is a virus has no concept of race or political persuasion. |

Here's a bit of fun to illustrate the exponential growth problem--take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. Then fold it half again (so that the sheet is now 1/4 of it's original size and 4 sheets thick). Then fold it in half again, and again...Assuming we could fold the paper in half 40 times and then sit it on the a table, how tall would the stack be? A beer on my porch in June awaits the first reasonably close guesser. |

All public schools in Maryland are closed immediately until March 27.
I guess people are starting to take this as seriously as they should. It’s just too bad that my grandkids can’t come down here for a couple of weeks while they’re out of school. They get to be stuck in Baltimore city with nothing to do. Being stuck at the lake sounds pretty good to me. |

I found the comment to be apt.
It's a dismissive shortcut, ala "that's enough, grandpa, now go watch Fox news." It was a curt, on point response to Maxum's asinine claim that "we should be psyched for "global warming" as once it gets hot according to scientists this thing should dissipate."

Again it's early to make assumptions here, but there certainly seems to be a trend forming. There have already been observations doing in labs indicating that temperature, more so humidity has a direct effect on the ease at which this spreads. |

I realize there are risks. However, personally, I think it makes sense for persons to be responsible for their own actions. If you are over a certain age, or have a compromised immune system, the responsibility should be on you to make sure you are safe. We shouldn't destroy our economy. I refuse to live in fear. Quite honestly, the government's actions and our compliance without question to the government's actions scare me way worse than the Chinese coronavirus. In the case of a real crisis, where our liberties and freedoms are at stake, will we be so compliant? It's all about understanding and accepting risks. I've stated this before so forgive me for boring you, but last year 36,000 U.S. citizens died from the flu and nearly 500,000 were hospitalized with the flu. Each year between 20,000 and 80,000 U.S. citizens die from the flu. It is a risk that we accept, much like driving a car, which kills roughly 35,000 U.S. citizens per year. With the Chinese coronavirus, we do not understand the risks so we are unwilling to accept it and in the meantime overreacting and panicking. For the time being, I am enjoying traveling to work on near empty roads and trains and working quietly in a near empty office. |

The best case outcome is when this has passed all the people that are preaching that we are overreacting can say "I told you so". Let's all pray that this is the the outcome because the alternative is much worse.

My normal routine is that I drive down Monday morning and stay in the apartment Monday-Wednesday, and return home Thursday evening where I work from home on Friday. I have been doing this for 12 years, and the last three I have shared the apartment with my youngest son who also works on State Street. It's tough, but I make the most of it on weekends. When I'm down here, I'm here to work. The last few days I've had a chance to catch up with the Forum, which as I can tell by the responses to my posts, everyone is thrilled! ![]() |

Personally, I’m glad you have time to input your thoughts. I may not agree with you, and may even think your positions are crazy, but if everyone had the same point of view the forum would be awfully boring.

And you assume that I haven't adapted. That isn't true. We offered our employees the option of working from home on Monday. Since last Thursday (3/12), we surveyed our employees technologies from home, outfitted them with the hardware and software to work from home, and conducted a test of our systems to make sure that it could handle the load. All went well and roughly 3/4 of our staff is working from home. Personally, I chose to work from the office. |

As far as I know, I still have the right to go to work. It is a recommendation only. That may change, however. I heard Tall Deval is speaking right now.

Some people are more selfish than others.
Not being critical,just stating a fact. Either your part of the problem or part of the solution. I`m sure there is a grey area were we are sometimes part of one and part of another. I`m doing my part and waiting for ice out. Be safe,stay healthy and be kind to one another |

Right there with you. In fact I have been at work every day since this thing broke pulling very long hours. Ironically enough..... there is a good reason for it. I happen to work for a Pharma company that specializes in hosting clinical trials for the big drug companies. Over the past week and a half there have been several of us who have been here engineering and setting up the necessary infrastructure to support 3 new clinical trials for COVID-19 treatments. This required us to be on site to get this done.
This is going to benefit everyone potentially and I'll be damned if I would sit at home and cower in fear when there is work to be done. Many are out there risking exposure to save or help others, and to them all THANK YOU! Our medical professionals and scientists especially are owed a great deal of gratitude for what they do. |

As far as I know you are under no legal obligation to comply with a recommendation as such Major should not be chastised as he is not breaking the law and if he, which I am pretty sure he is, taking the proper precautions while traveling and at work there should be no issue.

I'm with you on it being an opinion.
But it is an opinion shared by virtually every medical and political leader in the entire world. This would include Donald Trump, and what I would assume is your favorite TV source, Fox News. Here's an overview of how their opinions have evolved over the past few weeks. You can skip the editorial if you'd like to avoid bias, but the video clips are all facts (i.e. it's a fact that certain people said certain things at certain times). https://www.washingtonpost.com/video...8c0_video.html I look forward to your opinion on their more recent statements |

I am not impressed by the so-called experts, who for the most part are government employees who have a vested interest in making a mountain out of a molehill. I've made the comparison before, but there are so-called experts who say that manmade climate change is an existential threat. I've asked this many times with absolutely no response. Where was all of the hand waving and hysteria for the much worse H1N1 virus? Don't tell me the Chinese coronavirus is worse, the comparative numbers do not bear it out. Where are the Forum threads demanding that we destroy our economy to save lives. As stated before by many others, I think we've exhausted this topic. I have my opinion, everyone else has theirs. I am as resolute if not more so than before just as others are with their views. The one good thing from this is that the President's approval rating is skyrocketing, which given the press against him, is a pretty good result. Even political rivals are praising him. I think history will treat him well on this. |

I think this will be what history remembers about Trump... February 26th, 2020. President Trump: “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” March 20th, 2020. Confirmed cases in the United States rise to 16,064.

Hah, silly me for not knowing that was the correct place to discuss this!
![]() My thoughts on this is we are both young and two weeks with a flu isn't fun either, but it's not me I'm worried about. I work at a university that just completely shut down and sent the students home with a few days notice (so stressful for them), but I certainly don't want to get anyone ill around me who may get sick. And frankly anyone who looks at reports coming out of the hospitals in Italy, a Western nation with advanced medicine, knows this isn't "just the flu" or "just hysteria." (I also hate when people point to swine flu stats as comparison- they always do so for one year of stats, and we're only three months into this! Let alone non-linear in growth!) Plus honestly, I don't need much of an excuse to hang out by the lake. Beats sitting in my small apartment getting bored of what's on Netflix any day! |

Andromeda321, ice out is spectacular. Last time I was up for it, the wind kicked up waves underneath the ice and there were massive swells of ice rolling across the broads. One of the most awesome sites I have seen. Enjoy your time up there.

What is “Chinese” coronavirus? Oh, that’s right, a “true believer” needs to mimic the words of the “great” leader or get drummed out of the corps.
