Today the governor of Indiana announced that the stay at home order would be extended until May 1st. None of us were shocked to hear the news. In fact Doug and I were a little relieved. COVID-19 has not been as devistating to the health care industry as first thought, but two more weeks seemed appropriate for social distancing to make a difference. We also felt that it was great news that Governor Holcomb stated that he would have a plan for how the state of Indiana could safely lift the stay at home order sometime in May. That would really help the economic strain that everyone has been under due to the quarantine.
We told Meg and Cam the news during dinner tonight. They weren't surprised by it either. The topic then turned to what we would like to do once the stay at home order was lifted. None of us were ready to travel, eat out or spend a lot of time shopping just yet, but it was fun to talk about what we really missed by being at home. Number one on Cam's list was eating out, even if it was just getting take out. He picked Mad Anthony's as his first stop. Meg missed her friends and social activity the most, but in terms of eating out she felt that Culvers, Portillos or Chick-Fil-A would all be safe places to use the drive thru once we start circulating in the real world once again. Doug and I were most interested in getting back to Bloomington, seeing the boys and ordering Mother Bears. No matter where or when we order take out or what we do first, at least there does seem to be an end in sight.
