It is an hour by hour, day by day thing, but i learned today that though our Governor Kate Brown does not want to exercise "shelter in place". But, our Mayor will exercise that plan IF numbers rise over the weekend.
We could be all going on fuoughed time off (read: laid off) by Tuesday of next week.
30 to 60 days off. I can see it now. The unemployment website and telephone lines go down, preventing ppl from applying for unemployment benefits.
Geeeez. I need a vacation anyhow. Why not, right? I need time to focus on two of my tests so i can ace them, when that agency reopens to the public. Maybe in May. By June, for sure.
Someone told me today that more people in the US died from the flu last fall then recorded casualties from Co-vid 19.
Not sure about their research and stuff, but it does give one reason to pause and reflect.
If the metro area goes into Shelter In Place next week, we will all be stay-cationing for quite a while.
Its worrisome for so many reasons. I surely do hope and wish the best for us all.
