Our Santa Clara County, Ca was the first US county with Corvid two deaths preceding Kirkland, Washington reporting--supposedly the first one on February 29, 2020 by 23 days.  WHO told US government it was not transmittable by human contact and it was an Asian local epidemic already contained. Local officials took another look these deaths were tested positive after knowing the effect. John Dotson from AR commented on May 15 that I even beat these victims with blogs posted as far back as January 23 as I sensed something catastrophic was coming this way.  In fact, I acted right away with disinfectants and masks purchase that I kept for special occasions. Wearing masks, wash hands were the only effective way not to infect or contract germs or virus. Social distance is great but often not practical in urban. Masks are developed in Asia as the only defensive mechanism as it is out of the question.

Apparently, the virus were already spraying out of Wuhan earlier.  There were lots of local US firms doing business there. One local businessman came back from Wuhan infected to his wife in San Benito County, Ca but it was quickly contained. The county actually opened up last week.  There were 3 barber shops opened. Two had a 2 weeks waiting time to get a hair cut. I drove to the only first-come, first-serve barber waited at 7:55 AM with my clean room smocks, facial mask, and surgical gloves inside my car. The barber told me he had been out of work over 3 months taking up hiking near Big Surf weekly looking at empty Pebble Beach golf course below and watched the Pacific Ocean.  What a life to be on a 3-month vacation!

We have an equestrian trails(total 5 paths) that were underutilized.  The horses were hard to maintain. Now I see neighbors not seen for over 10 years walking and active. Most horses intended have been replaced by electric Tesla iron horses. 

What do you do if you are all under confined at your residence? Gardening. I bought a few bags of seeds. The package says broccoli. They look more like they were mis-labled.

We are enjoying the mild summer and I start seening more traffic.  This is not to say break out is over. Found out a fish process plant had 34 workers tested positive. A couple of senior homes here and there reported and it sounds scary.  I only hope people are safe and we will be over with this epidemic.
