My "How close is it to you" blog...

Every night I read the dashboard results for the COVID-19 data in the state of Florida. I'll do a screenshot and check it again in the morning to see changes as the numbers are usually higher. Probably a recount or late entry from the previous day causing the numbers to change.
The website data can do a detailed map by zip code. Because the area where I live has several communities packed in high density, the amount of reported cases are higher here than a few miles away that is used for farming. However, it's many people in a few square miles that concerns me.

It's mandatory to have some form of face covering when in public. Security won't let you into the grocery store without one. Many of the stores have added plastic barriers at the cash registers. Every building entrance and register has 6' markings on the floor as distancing reminders. I went to the Post Office on Saturday and they have a plastic curtain from ceiling to counter all the way across the service area.

I'm still in contact (by phone) with people I used to work with. They probably networked with a few hundred. Last month, I heard the wife of the warehouse supervisor who works in the medical field had tested positive for the virus. I didn't hear any more details on that. An associate who's wife works for an air conditioning service with more than 50 employees is able to do her job from home. She said none of their crew have been directly affected. Another friend's wife is a nurse and she recently tested negative. These are all good signs of containment.

Hearing of one episode about 2 weeks ago that annoyed me... a client went to the showroom without an appointment to see the sales rep to go over her order. When the rep said you need to make an appointment, the woman said it was her only opportunity as her son tested positive and is home under quarantine. The rep was angered and shouted "You tell me this? I've got family with young children at home. No we cannot have a meeting! Please leave." So far the rep is okay and has no symptoms.

The Condo Association president sent out a message (a few weeks ago) that anyone who has the virus MUST notify them and special precautions will be taken to disinfect hand rails, elevator interior and control panels, etc. I'm thinking that information should be noted on the condo bulletin board so the other residents can avoid those units. So far, I've seen no notices.
