    You know the cliche "freedom isn't free"? Free countries could well pay more in money and lives responding than totalitarian regimes with streamlined, heavy-handed, top-down governments. I'd still rather live in a free country.

    I thought Inslee's response was great when asked the penalties for violating guidelines. Not we will fine or incarcerate you, but think of the consequences to your grandpa.

    L, just because you don’t value travel doesn’t mean it’s not valuable for others.

    Self-isolation, staying close to home, and having a few extra supplies on hand rates pretty low on my list of concerns. I self-entertain well with local wonders. If I were still in the work force or had children at home life could get complicated, but then again I'd be younger and a lower health risk. I really respect the people in the health care industry for putting things on the line to help out.

    How did this suddenly become a conversation about trump's sexual quirks?

    From Salt Lake City, because of virus concerns; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - has discontinued all meetings and activities in the Church - worldwide, effective immediately. Interestingly, the focus of learning the last couple of years has been "Home centered, Church supported" meaning we study as families at home and Sunday's lessons reinforce what was studied at home.

    The letter from Church leadership implied this could be for months, so we will continue to learn at home as families and via modern technology.

    The last few days at work are filled with hour by hour updates about our hospital’s emergency response if/when covid19 comes to us.

    I always wondered whether I would escape or go to work in a pandemic - now I know. I go to work. I care not only for our patients but for our staff. I’m right where I belong and I’m cool with it all. It’s been an interesting week.
