On Friday Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana gave the long awaited news conference outlining the state’s plan to reopen for business. The official COVID-19 “lock-down” order expired on Friday. New regulations begin on Monday. If you are interested, the details are pretty clearly listed on the new website Back on Track Indiana. It explains the five steps that the State has planned for the reopening of businesses.
The moon seen yesterday, has nothing to do with COVID-19. Just a pretty picture.
The Reader’s Digest version is pretty simple. It things go according to plan, July 4th is the date when Indiana is “back to normal”. This is if the previous four steps have worked out. The new normal, however, does include possible restrictions on nursing homes and K-12 school openings and still calls for social distancing.
What’s this do for Roadtirement? Well, dear friends, we are still basically under self-isolation. Not until Step Four of the plan does it mention the possibility of those over 65 and with underlying health conditions getting out in public, and then following social distancing guidelines. Are we going to even risk that? The coronavirus will still be out there. People will still be catching it, and will still be killed by it. Who knows when a viable treatment and/or vaccine will be available for all.
We will have to at some point decide when we will be willing to take the chance of catching the COVID-19 virus by getting out and into the public. There is so much we are wanting to do…

I hope sensible decisions will be taken

We are most definitely going to be over cautious, if anything Derrick. We have been too careful since Feb 25th to take a chance. Thanks you for your very kind response.

Stay home, stay safe I say. I too am in the high risk category. I saw that half moon flying high yesterday too, looks so pretty up there!

I like they way you put that….”enjoy other things for a while longer”. Good mantra for the next few weeks (hopefully not months). Thanks so much for the visit and the comment.

As of Monday restaurants opening at 25% of capacity. Hubby will want to eat out, as gyms are still closed. He is 86, and after all this time of depression, I will take him.

Glad you’ll be able to eat out with DH. At 25% capacity it’ll feel like you have the place to yourself. Be safe out there! Thanks so much for the visit and the comment.
