Seriously, going to a bar and hugging "only the regulars" is insane. Some people have to learn the hard way, I guess. I think Walz is letting things open too soon, but I won't be doing anything different from what I've been doing since early March - staying home and not going anywhere unless I absolutely have to.
And I did absolutely have to go somewhere last night - to the emergency vet in Golden Valley because one of my cats suddenly took sick. Sadly, he passed away from an aortic thromboembolism; there was nothing they could do for him. So I'm really bummed out this morning. The vet's office was well-equipped to handle the covid-19 situation, but their excellent procedures also meant I had to wait in my car and couldn't say goodbye.
I can't imagine how awful the similar situation for people with a sick human relative must be. Maybe your friend in Wisconsin should ask her family how they'd feel about not being able to say goodbye to her.
