Are you a Coronavirus Vector?

Almost turtle season
At least there will be less humans on the beach!

Well, I had a whole fun blog post and then it just disappeared!  Another symptom of the virus?? According to a google search, it has happened to others.  So here goes.

I had come up with 10 positives that might come from the virus ... including send Christmas cards early, protecting marine life, and of course crafting ... but I just don't have the energy to dream them up again and found someone had posted a similar idea - click here.

Our beaches are now closed by the county ... but it is not clear what closed means. The dry sand area from roughly the dunes to the high tide/wet sand mark is owned by the county.

Today the County Sheriff appeared on TV and said walking/exercising on wet sand (state owned) is acceptable (of course you have to cross county dry 'closed' beach sand to reach it) and that people were doing as required.  Still seems some people don't know how large a marine turtle is (ie not social distancing), but it has gotten much better.

Now if you are facing or think you might be facing a toilet paper shortage you can calculate your supplies here or find alternatives here (funny) and here (serious)..

And if you are sewing you can make face masks for yourself and your local medical personnel - instructions here. These were common before we got all this disposable 'modern' gear.

Draw your own conclusion about beach 'closure' . . . 

Yesterday, before closure                                                                    Today, after closure

Patience, Kindness . . . Rinse and Repeat.

Seems a good motto to me.
