There are actually very nice places in NJ, especially in the west central and northwest parts of the state. The last time I was riding in the latter a young bear cub ran across my path as I was heading back to my campsite after showering. And while it's slipped a few notches over recent years, Hunterdon County still makes the top 10 list of wealthiest counties in the entire country measured by median household income. Saw this bugger while riding there several years ago.

So...The office has banned communal candy dishes to help prevent the spread of the virus. Even wrapped candy is verboten.
Sad.
Sad.

According to the map #Jadesfire posted, Central America is Covid19 free, including Yucatan, which is essentially Central America. And only 3 cases in Mexico. I have read of zero panic activities in country.

Wow! Some Facebook friends (and their friends) are freaking out. One of the former posted "Has anyone had the thought that testing kits might be slow to reach sanctuary cities?" Clearly speculating as to a possibility as no evidence of any such thing has been presented. One friend of hers responded in part "Indeed I have and I am sure its on purpose." Later she wrote "I am in full PTSD response because of this. So pissed and so scared."
I told her she needs to stop speculating and spreading unfounded fears.

The only additional precaution I’d recommend considering is staying home as much as possible, and if you need to go out because you’re going stir crazy, don’t go to any large gatherings. Retired folk have it made, relatively speaking, because you can dictate how frequently you leave the house.
Go out today and buy a couple of weeks of groceries, some tissues, ibuprofen, a thermometer and some Gatorade. Then go home and binge watch all those shows you’ve been hoping to get around to. Ride with Mrs Trainsnorter.
Pop your head up in 2-3 weeks and see what things look like in the outside world.

I'm having second thoughts myself about attending a basketball game this evening, but so long as no one sneezes near me I think I'll be alright.

I have an exam this week and surgery next week, but I'm in overall good health otherwise. In the words of Alfred E. Neuman, "What me worry".

The hefty charge is actually to get IN to NY. Getting out of Jersey is free if you go out the back side, into Pennsylvania.

I've been to Nebraska. I don't think I'd want to be trapped there for 14 days either.
