"How is everyone holding up?"

Physically, emotionally and mentally as good as can be expected in my mortal body made of ashes and dust, on the hostile surface of this planet, considering how evil the average person is, and with half the people eviler than that.

Business-wise: I am still operating my church property spiritual meeting hall building.

Allowed activities in Arizona:

Constitutionally protected activities, such as speech and religion.
Essential activity: such as religion.
Essential business: Human service operation: Behavioral health > Substance disorder > Recovery.
Essential service: Substance disorder > Recovery.

Thank God I am not in some other service activity, such as clothing sales, furniture, sporting goods, jewelry, bowling alley, gym/fitness, sports, gambling, books and/or music, theater, concert or sports venue.

Whatever you are doing, I hope that you are keeping your parishioners such that they are maintaining social distancing.

Religion can be done with a megaphone and an open field, or online. Please no group hugs, or hand holding, or hand shaking during service.
 
Most of the churches around here are doing some form of online service. The church my parents attend is doing daily mass on their own new YouTube channel.
since all meetings have been shut down, many recovery 12 step groups are now streaming. You. An attend an AA meeting from almost anywhere, at any time. Some members around here though decided to meet in one of the local park pavilions, apparently they had as many as 60 people there. The local authorities shut it down, but only after it became known that someone who was attending tested positive. Idiotic.
 
I went to the post office for my mom today. Six people standing in line, each one standing on the heels of the person in front of them. :banghead: This is in the county with the third largest number of COVID-19 cases in Washington State. :sigh:

Yes, I was wearing an N95 mask.

This is at my workplace. No crops growing here. Just national forest and a little valley between two mountains in Scott County Virginia. Very quiet little town.

You know, I see the casual attitude of people, and I'm afraid that it could lead to stiff, heavy handed enforcement. What they are asking, and they are asking is so easy to follow I simply Don't understand it.
 
Where my wife works they placed heart shaped appliques on the floor 6 feet apart at the checkout counter and have a monitor ensuring folks who don't voluntarily separate know to stand on the heart. You know, the type who approaches check out on their phone or checking an insta-post site and has no clue of the world outside the center of the universe, them.…… they sell pet supplies.

Sorry to hear that. Definitely not happening in my area, everyone is maintaining at least a 6 foot separation. Inside and outside.

Years ago I used to smoke dope and drink whiskey for no reason. Here lately it seems like I may have good reason to resume.

I wore my AOC shirt today, you should absolutely celebrate your country.

Edit: And there was an earthquake immediately after I posted this; if the van's a-rockin'..

It was a 4.6 magnitude near Anza, CA. I felt it too. You know what makes a now mandatory stay at home order worse? The feeling that if you stay in your home, the house will collapse. While the quake wasn't that bad, it's going to make more people into nervous wrecks.

What about senior management?
Click to expand...

Senior management all retired. I think most of them were middle managers when my father worked there and he passed away 35 years ago. I wound up following his foot steps after the great recession killed the career I had doing automation in the plastic industry for 12 years. Most of that was self taught. My current job is not as mentally challenging just physically demanding. For 3 years I had a highly skilled position within the company but lost that one to needing to be on third shift for personal reasons.

I lived through CA, Loma Prieta quake. Magnitude was around 7.0 Damage around my area was catastrophic. A friend was near completion building his new home, just waiting on final inspection. The house ripped right off the foundation bolts. Talk about rock 'n roll, that was a scary day!
