Other than the frequency of going out to eat and an occasional movie, our lives haven't changed much. We miss church on Sundays, but can watch sermons form the church we attend in AZ.

Being retired, our income has not been affected. All of our children and families are still working, some from home. I feel for those who have lost jobs and are falling behind financially.

We have had a perfect summer here in central WI making outdoor activities more enjoyable. We still get together with a daughters family every Sunday for a meal. Each of us practice all of the safety recommendations out in public and so far no one has contacted the virus.

Our travel plans have not changed. We will head for AZ in 4 weeks by way of ID to visit a daughter. The big advantage of traveling in a MH is being able to maintain a distance from everyone. After we open up our home there, life will go on much like it has all summer, except we will have a pool to exercise in.

We have an annual Jeep gathering in UT every October which is still planned, but I'm wondering just how to keep 16 couples in their 60's and 70s safe. Out on the trails will be safe enough, but might have to limit the happy hours.

This pandemic will pass, but our life styles and precautions will be with us for years to come. Will we ever be comfortable shaking the hand of a new acquaintance or giving an old friend a hug?? We are in a new age of change and will need to adjust to new and different customs.

My wife and I have not changed anything in our lives. Do not fall for a false nerrative.
I've actually seen the real number s. Believe what you wish. [emoji851]

I too have seen the real numbers, and here they are!

Thats the biggest problem, too many people are falling for alternate facts and conspiracy theories. Is that the false narrative you're talking about?

Other than being careful, and keeping away from people, our lives have not changed too much. I'm going to keep being careful till there's a vaccine, and probably only a little less so after that. My wife and I are between rigs now, and for the time being we've been doing Airbnb and enjoying that a lot. I think there will be a good bit of change some time next year. They expect a housing crash, which was going to happen anyway, but made much worse with this Covid19. I'm a landlord and may extend my holdings, or maybe get a nice Newmar Supreme Aire, which I think I would like a lot more.

The virus is not moving on. We are stuck where we are with no real relief in sight. Every time the numbers go down we are warned about the reality of them going back up as they do. Open, closed, open, closed. Masks everywhere with no change in sight. So, I am right where I was a few months ago and so is my trailer. People I talk with say I might not get the virus by traveling but I could spread it and that is worse. I really don't know and am getting close to not caring. If this is the new normal it will never be as good as it was.

I am sorry to hear of your lose. I can not imagine the pain of losing both children.
Please accept my condolences.

We do what we can, travels have been cut down, but not stopped.

Its amazing to observe folks reactions to this virus.

Not everyone is out shopping for new RV, tow vehicle, car or worried about their planned trip. Some are very concerned about feeding and housing their family.

The biggest difference we have seen is that state parks are more crowded than ever. We had to make reservations every step of the way from St. Louis, MO to western Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and back home. A Park
Ranger at Prince Gallitzin SP, PA said that they normally have a 90 -95% capacity on summer weekends, but this year it is every day and weekends are full. Seems everyone is crowded into the parks to avoid the crowds.
