Glad we're busy and happy to get the extra hours. Just a bit tired when I get home. But this to shall pass!

I guess the question was not so much speculating if a couple months from now the deals would be better. It was if buying now, even for a pretty good deal, was a dumb idea! sometimes waiting to see how things shake out before making a move.
and no worries about trade in values dropping. That part (selling the old buggy) is happening regardless in the next week. Only question if a new car replaces it at the same time.

Nits....I wish the back window was easier to see out of.
All-in-all....quite pleased so far.
after going to Shop rite today and seeing the madness, forget about cars, I might not want to go out at all in the next month! what a zoo. Toilet paper frenzy. Looked like a combo if a zombie apocalypse and predicted big snow storm combined. But at least we have our normal weekend food shopping out of the way so nicely stocked up.
Wife's opinion was to just do it. Might not do better overall by waiting, but mostly, she does not want to go through the hassle again next month! She apparently knows me too well. Though with no trade involved, shopping is vastly easier.
Only thing definite is that the current RDX is going now. If not traded in to dealer today, I am uploading the documents to carvana and scheduling a pick up.

One of our daily activities when the sun is out is getting the ZHP out for a cruise on some good roads not too far from me. No human interaction, proper social distancing, but out of the house for a bit. That works until they start restricting movement, of course.

Situations like this make being old with kids grown much less hassle.

All our schools are closed but our childcare facility is trying to stay open as best they can - the teachers who can want to be with the students for as long as they're allowed. Kids are only staying in their classrooms with less than 15 total students - they're eating meals there, etc. So no exposure to large groups indoors. Outside groups are being kept to under 50 in line with CDC and Public Health guidelines for groups of young children. All at-risk teachers have been excused with pay.
I appreciate greatly what they're doing. We've been offering the administration words of support regardless of what they choose to do - unprecedented times.
I'd rather use Hanes White T-Shirts, and it would be cheaper

A couple of the school districts around me are closing for the next 2-3 weeks. As the spring breaks for them are scheduled for next week or the week after, this shouldn't be a huge inconvenience for many families.
The wife just got a call from a family who had a birthday party scheduled for tomorrow - they want to postpone until April. What makes them think things will be any better 4-6 weeks from now? But, no refunds on their deposit, so they can't really cancel.
On the other hand, they did get a few new enrollments for their week-long spring break camps as travel plans for some families have been scratched due to this.

My personal opinion is that the "not in my backyard yet" is exactly why Seattle is in the situation it is right now. Proactive steps now mean a much shorter, less painful social distancing experience.
Obviously your call how you want to modify your behavior.
I'm not making the argument about proper distancing, just arguing the need for such crazy panic.

Waiting to see what happens when volumes of urgent care workers aren't showing up for work.
Last I saw a chart comparing the case growth with Italy, we are roughly 11 days behind their outbreak and tracking with their case numbers almost exactly. So, now we get to find out if getting in front of social distancing now before it expands is going to make a meaningful difference.

I’m torn; I don’t deny the seriousness of this but I also know the Chief Public Health Doctor here pretty well from having worked with him. I would describe him as a self-important, arrogant loon to be blunt. He is a loose cannon and essentially unmanageable. I have some sympathy for the politicians because he has them over a barrel and if they don’t do what he wants done he will make them look bad in the media. But knowing him tells me to discount some of the things he says, as he always takes the most extreme positions. As it is, lots of small businesses are going to get hurt badly here.

I believe my employer will not shut down until if/when they are told they have to. I can do email and phone calls from home, but don't have access to our office management software or network files, which is also fairly essential, and we don't have the internet bandwidth to set up more than a couple of people for remote access.
Besides, I’ve got this thing covered with personal protection.

new car in driveway, old RDX left behind. Wife is now proud owner of a 2020 RDX tech SH AWD. White over Espresso. Quite the learning curve for tech, but she is doing OK so far! Though since her test drive I am the one that drove it (home from dealer than out to dinner). Does drive nice. Much smoother than the old one. many features. I think we will enjoy it. Not sure if the mirrors stick out more (they do seem big) but definitely going to take some practice getting comfy snaking it into the garage. Might be sorry not holding out for power folding mirrors! But it fit.
will post the story of the purchase later. But so far with a whopping 25 miles on it, nice car. Pano roof is wonderful. Loving the seats. excellent steering and handling. Pretty quick too.great radio. Really just need to get settled in with it but that will come with time.
