It was an isolation weekend, or so it seemed.If you’re a sci-fi fan the next season of ALTERED CARBON is out on Netflix.I binged it Saturday and Sunday.It wasn’t complete isolation though.I made a store ruin and saw people looking like STAR WARS bounty hunters in their anti-virus protective gear.I had coffee with a friend on my back porch and I met a new friend at Walmart on that store run.
IN A HANDBASKET is virus related as the brainiacs at Yale and Harvard think the virus gets them a pass on classes, or rather k in classes.
My conversation with friends over the weekend revolved around our response to the coronavirus and where the country is headed.What exactly do you do with people who are infected and refuse to self-quarantine?What can government restrict and how?Are we losing the republic?That was the last conversation with a friend last night who was issued a travel pass just yesterday.Did you read that correctly, we have papers that allow us to be out and about?Have we actually come to that?Illinois is under a “stay at home” order.New York has shut down non-essential businesses.Here in Florida restaurants are restricted to curb service, hospitals are restricted to emergency procedures only, other facilities are ordered closed and curfews are being implemented.Our governments at all levels are acting, we are reacting and hopefully it’s short term.It seems to me we have lost our passion for freedom.
Representative Tyler Sirois will join us at 8am by telephone to discuss the end of the legislative session and the state budget.
If you own or manage a restaurant, you and your employees could be facing tough times.We have a new web page for you called Space Coast to Go.You can list your hours and available services for our audience to find as they seek dining options.
