Social distancing was the way to go to keep hospitals from getting overloaded. It would be nice to know who is a carrier and who isn't. Slowly, we should be able to resume activities, over 55 year olds and those who are compromised should isolate.
No one can give an exact right course of action....even so called experts don't know. Yes, the predictions were much higher than actual, but, they were worse case scenarios and would have been accurate if we didn't take steps...almost everyone in a nursing home would have it by now without isolating and distancing, and a large percentage would unfortunately die.

He commented on my hair as he’d never seen it as long as it is now. We got back home and I showed him my old college ID (not sure why I’ve kept it all these years). I told him I may let it go and have a pony tail once again, only this time, it’ll be a little grayer.

Retailers and restaurants will reopen their doors and we are all going to have to face a choice of how we want to proceed in our daily lives with bank accounts, health, and conscience guiding the way. Those who are elderly or otherwise immunocompromised may want to shelter for a bit longer, others may dip their toes in the water.
I'm not advocating for keeping things closed or throwing opening the doors, though I think it's still too early in some places for the latter, only offering my humble opinion on what I think comes next. I also hope that those who elect to cautiously re-engage in society aren't denigrated for doing so by those who have limited to no understanding of an individual or family's situation.

Most garages are pretty quiet these days.
I took my car in because it was due for the yearly service....I didn't want to go past the date and give them a reason to void my warranty.
Jip....glad you appreciate my stupid humor

Still haven't found a piece of legit data showing Ridgway was actually on a list to be released.
I find the latest hot zones to be interesting, the meatpacking plants and probably expanding into other agriculture. I can speculate why it happens. We'll get through this, but it isn't over yet.
But, the self isolating has made a huge difference, 2/3rds of deaths are from nursing homes. In a country of 37 million, we have had 2500 deaths. There are plans of going back to work, in stages, but, it won't be until they feel it won't bounce back out of control so that we lose ground.
Yes, the law was a stupid one....but, in general, the plan is working.

They are taking measures to protect workers when they come back. btw, Ford and GM are not making any vehicles in the U.S. at this time.
I think at Ford the workers have watches that sound an alarm if they come within 6 feet of each other. If that happens it records who came into close contact, so if there is an outbreak they know where to look.
There are going to be lots of new ideas come out of this experience.

This will be a new and important industry, forecasting and tracking new diseases.

I recall a test someone ran about 2 years ago about turning off the tracking on phones, Android, and even though tracking was turned off, the phones reported the tracking to the home center when the phones were turned on. The people studying it had a set up where the phone's input and output were recorded.
So Apple also does tracking IIRC. And the info now will be used to see if you're violating barbershop rules by being in one of those locations for one, e.g.. Early on the tracking info was seen as a valued item to sell to advertisers as you near a store's location, e.g., or you're near the jewelry counter in an upscale department store and they could offer you a beautiful set of diamond earrings at a special price via your phone.

As a funny coincidence, I’m watching an old episode of The Rifleman and a bunch of people are under quarantine with the predicable conflict between those who want to follow orders and those who do not.
Human nature doesn’t change.

If you have one on you and it's connected to a cell tower or WiFi they know where you are. If you have GPS on that makes their job even easier.
Not just phones either. The majority of newer cars have GPS and telematics (like OnStar) that know where the car is at all times. If I open up the app on my Volvo it tells me exactly where it's parked.

The 2018 S450 will be a lease return with no payments due because they have a 5 month pull ahead program going on now, which worked out great!
I decided to buy the car because I figured this might be my last car. The financing rate (2.9%) is actually a better interest rate than they have on their E class leases. This way, I own the car.
The car is being brought in from Gainsville and will arrive by Thursday. So I guess I will take delivery on Friday. As long as they show the car as sold, it will qualify for the incentives for April.

Looks like a great deal - you'll need to share pix when you pick it up.
figured this might be my last car - that's a sobering statement. But, understandable.

What I like about this E450 is that AWD is standard on the car this year. Also, it has the same engine as my S450 has, V6 Twin Turbo engine with 362 hp - 0-60 in 5 seconds. So it will be fast enough, I would imagine. Really excited about this. When the car comes in, I want to check the odometer as well as the entire car for any damage or imperfections before I give them the check.

I hate to say it, but I felt you'd end up with the same brand all along.
The Hyundai G90 was a distraction.
And it sounds like you analyzed the engine and vehicle comparisons well and made
a good decision for a car you'll enjoy driving, and enjoy owniing.
