Good morning- SongBird checking in from Cincinnati!
Vicky, i love your updates, and couldn't agree more!
Ohio has 2547 cases and 65 deaths. none in the counties we serve.
We are to "stay home" til May 1, and i believe we will get an order today to restrict that even further.
They are expediting the enrollment of police officers and re-hiring retirees, as they believe we will be hit in about 2 weeks.
Finishing up our 3rd week of work from home.
The weight of this is hitting all industries. One of my husband's manufacturing plants had to shut down in NJ bc the workers contracted COVID from each other!
I told my husband this morning we definitely need to figure out how to have FUN in the evenings!
Just to share work efforts -- One of the support staff on our team sends funny emails each day, and is mailing us silly greeting cards about every 3 days. It's a great, positive effort and we get a chuckle. Our spirited Development Director sends out a daily email to all company of "self-care" tips.
But, regardless, We need those belly laughs!
Stay safe, stay home!
Have a great day!

Good Morning Southern Bell checking in.
Georgia has nearly 5000 cases and 154 deaths thus far. Things moving fast around here. Georgia Governor signing a mandatory "shelter in place" order until April 13th, but could be extended. He ordered our schools closed for remainder of the year.
My sweet Mama is 88, and I can tell this is weighing on her heavy. We have had her in quarantine for 4 weeks. That is a long time of somewhat isolation other than my sister and brother-in-law. She is watching way to much TV....it will certainly scare the bejeevers out of you! We are on the end of Week 2 of working from home, so I am beginning to understand. So for our mental health, we need to encourage one another to remember to watch the news in moderation, and, maybe go for a walk (w/social distancing), listen to music, read a book, or anything that wards off anxiety and depression. I do believe many will suffer from PTSD due to this pandemic. It is a real thing.
Stay safe and find something to laugh from your gut about today my friends...it is the best medicine!!!
Southern Bell signing off for now.
