 NB>> Sometimes it all seems more than a bit unreal...

 DS> We'd all love to wake up from this bad nightmare.

Gradually things are easing up...  :)
 
 BM>> Here the gyms are re-opening at 50% capacity.  I'm not sure on the
 BM>> cleaning processes, especially with all that sweat!  ...Little ribbon
 BM>> placed between the treadmill bars "Sanitized for your protection"?!
 BM>> (Thinking way back when the toilet seats at hotels had that.)
 NB>> Yeah, I remember those.... ;)  Dunno....

 DS> It was that in my hospital room.

Yes, I've seen them there, too... :)
 
 NB>> I guess we are officially in phase two, heading for phase three... and
 NB>> so far we've not seen major spikes.... Maybe Iowa doesn't have distinct
 NB>> phases....?  ;)

 DS> Arkansas hasn't gotten to phase 2 yet...tons of folks violated the
 DS> social distancing over the holidays, and we had a second peak. However,
 DS> while the central part of the state had the first peak, northwest
 DS> Arkansas has it now. 

We're into phase 3 now... here people have mostly been cooperating, and
it seems to be paying off in terms of being able to reopen nicely... :)

 NB>> I'd just take the thing off... ;)

 DS> Kind of hard to eat and drink with it on. The masks I got from
 DS> SquareUpFashions may be what some consider pricey ($20 each), but they
 DS> are washable and reusable, and made of 2 ply material.
 
My sister made us our masks... cloth, so washable and reusable, at least
2, maybe 3 layers...  Still can't eat or drink through it, so of course
it would come off for that... :)

 BM>> Yes.  Still need to get that first post-shutdown haircut!  Mainly
 BM>> don't want to wait and wait for a haircut because everyone else
 BM>> wants/needs one now too.
 NB>> Eventually the backlog will ease up...  ;)

 DS> A friend of mine was cutting his own. I'm able to get mine cut every
 DS> 4 to 6 weeks.

Richard generally cuts his own now... I used to be the family barber,
except for his beard, though... :)
