Our Gov. extended the lockdown in AZ for another two weeks. I agree, as cases are still growing here.
We live in a low-population-density county. Biggest impact on my wife and me is that the pool that we used for our main cardio is closed and will be through May. So is the gym we use. I've been making do by alternating running and biking on a stationary recumbent that I bought from Amazon. I made a "home gym" out of a set of springs, a dowel and brackets, but I'd much prefer using the gym, when it reopens. I'd prefer using the gym recumbents to mine. But: while it'll be easy to social distance on the free weights and machines, I'm wary of using the gym bikes because they're in a room with all the other cardio machines, and people will be huffing and puffing like crazy.

We had some strong storms and high winds move through the DFW area late last night.
Today, the sun was shining, 74F, and with the Covid-19 stay at home orders still in effect, the result was beautiful blue skies like I remember here as a child. Where are you in DFW? I'm in Denton County. Dallas County I don't have to anymore play around with the IRS "Where's My Payment" site to see if it's got a status for me.... My Stimulus money was direct deposited into my bank yesterday. The same account I get my monthly SS payments deposited to.

DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines lost $2.24 billion in the first quarter as the coronavirus pandemic triggered a sharp drop in air travel, and the airline is taking steps to survive but as a smaller carrier.
American disclosed Thursday that revenue fell 19% while costs continued to rise even as the virus spread.
The situation facing the airline industry has grown more dire since the first quarter ended, as air travel in the U.S. during April remained down 95% from a year ago, judging by the number of people screened at the nation's airports.
“Never before has our airline, or our industry, faced such a significant challenge,†Chairman and CEO Doug Parker said.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline has cut its flying schedule by 80% in April and May and 70% in June. It has grounded hundreds of planes, retiring some of them permanently.
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."

Just to update you guys, I lost my father to coronavirus about 2 weeks ago, he went in for a mild stroke and caught corona while in the hospital , my father and sister lived together and my sister don't have it, I was forced to make a decision of creating my father of hurrying him in an unmarked grave next to five other strangers, I chose to cremate him. In these types of situations the last time you see your loved one is before they go to the hospital because they don't allow visitors so there's no closure. My heart goes out to people who lost loved ones to the coronavirus
