WTF, there are still people going on cruise ships. !?
Seriously, I thought my google news was a tab that was left open from a month ago.

They’re not; all are shut down.

There’s at least one ship stranded/can’t find a port that’s been trying to find a dock forever.

But the cruise lines have been shut down for at least 2 weeks last I heard.

It is bizarre, no? Man, the draw of that all-inclusive deal is too much to pass on

I wouldn't be too terribly upset if this banished cruise ships from existence forever. Nothing against people that go on them, I get the appeal. But, the damage they do to the environments they travel is noteworthy.

Someone at my factory tested positive for COVID-19 finally. He went home sick Tuesday, called in sick Wednesday and got tested. The positive result just came back yesterday. They also sent home 6 people that had been working in the area of this guy.

Just sat down with our oldest to go over our wills. We haven't updated them since he was in high school so we need to adjust a few things. Will be contacting a lawyer in the morning.

We've gone from 3 cases in our county on Wednesday to 19 today. We'll almost surely be between 75 - 100 by this time next week.

Stay safe everyone.

Damn. Didn’t think of that. I should make sure my parents do the same so I (executor) don’t get left with a mess if they die of covid.

What’s a chill way to broach that subject with two people in their early 60’s who still think they’re 40?

Start with something like this:

Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I'll be right back. Don't you go dying on me!

How about - "With this thing getting everywhere, I've been looking at my will to make sure it is the way I want it. You never know..."

Good luck with all this. It took my father's death 10 years ago to get my mother to grant me power of attorney--and that moment of acquiescence was temporary. But it ultimately saved her life when crap hit the fan.
