One of our friends works for the CDC and she has been moved from her normal office to the front lines so America is battling this disease, and this nation has a great record of taking care of these problems. I think we will take some hits but the bounce back will come. Roll with the punches.
I am proceeding with my trip to Nevada and Arizona next week. Easy to follow the rules and stay healthy.

President Trump has just declared a national emergency, freeing up 50 billion dollars to fight Coronavirus. Governor Jared Polis has limited groups of 250 people in the state. I am hoping educating people will help keep this under control. Still less than one hundred deaths in the United States. Colorado has less than one hundred diagnosed with less than ten in critical condition.
I am seeing massive responses from businesses all over the nation and remain hopeful.

Pentagon officials late Friday announced a total domestic travel ban for all troops, civilian personnel and their families until May 11 in an effort to limit their potential exposure to the coronavirus.
In addition, troops will be granted “only authorized local leave” for the duration of the travel restrictions, limiting their ability to visit family and friends in far away states.
The travel ban goes into effect Monday, March 16.
It comes just days after Pentagon officials announced severe restrictions on overseas travel for all defense employees, uniformed and civilians. The new rules cover Permanent Change of Station moves and Temporary Duty travel.
Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump declared the coronavirus outbreak a national emergency, allowing his administration to tap into up to $50 billion in federal resources for public health response efforts.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

MEXICO CITY — Guatemala appears to have become the first country to ban Americans in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. President Alejandro Giammattei announced Friday night that Americans would not be allowed into the country beginning on Monday.
“We have made the decision that citizens of the United States and Canada cannot enter the country,” said Giammattei in a news conference, referring to the rising number of cases in those countries.
He called the step a “phase of containment.” Several European and Asian countries will also be banned.
Giammattei also asked Mexico to halt the deportation of Guatemalans by land.
