Which is a good thing given the sad and sobering news report that came out a few days ago. Peabody decided to be pro-active and test all of their employees. Nobody exhibited any signs of illness. However out of about 300 people tested, 42 tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. All asymptomatic. How scary is that. Peabody will over the next few weeks test their residents. None of them appear to be infected, but we are learning that people with the virus and no symptoms can indeed pass the virus to others.
Sometimes we would get a mini blizzard from the nearby Dairy Queen, but today we had plans to go to Hogs R Wild BBQ in Warsaw for lunch. This eating establishment is very small with little inside seating. Of course the inside was closed to customers; but they opened the two windows facing north, making one place order, and the other window pickup. My husband had suggested eating in the parking lot, but they are on busy Detroit Street and any parking away from the street was already full. This was Hogs R Wild's first time in weeks to offer a full menu. They were offering smoked meat with a minimum of 30 pounds for evening pickup in the weeks after the mandate.
We went to Center Lake Park instead. The park is closed, but the parking lot facing the lake made a fine place to eat lunch. There were maybe 8 other cars in the lot with people seated inside enjoying their lunches. So we shook up our routine today.
At 2:30 our governor will have a press conference to explain any changes in the stay-home mandate and business closures that had a deadline of today May 1st. I don't expect a big change, but maybe some shops and restaurants can offer limited service.
I felt a bit depressed this week, especially after reading a digital article about the more realistic timeframe for a vaccine. It felt good to drive through the countryside this morning, to see the tulips and eat lunch by the lake. Things in nature look so normal.
