Re: Info on Corona Virus

So I'm guessing there won't be any refunds of payments made for bookings already made. (If charged on a credit card maybe it can be challenged??).

Re: Info on Corona Virus

There is talk of a stimulus bill to write everybody a check now as part of the CV-19 recovery. Kind of like the one done back in 2001 or whenever.

WARNING THIS IS SO TOTALLY NSFW........

Re: Info on Corona Virus

No refunds, the insurance is a scam.

The Insurance agent told Terri that "partial refunds" are only be given if they are able to rent the house to someone else for the week you won't be there. So If a Hurricane is coming or a Quarantine is in place of course they wont be able to rent the house and you are out of luck. Basically if you personally can't come for any reason and they can still rent the house to someone else you will get less than half of your rental money back.

Read the fine print.

So, if they rent it out, they still keep half your money? (And, the premium) Hampton Inn in FL next for me, boss.

They now likely can't rent it out, so they should at least refund cleaning deposits, and any other charges like that. Also - room tax - since no one is in the rooms maybe they don't have to pay it.

This chart from the article is the scariest graph I have ever seen. (It is worth noting that the population of the US is about 6x Italy, however.)

Re: Info on Corona Virus

This has map that where not to go to find windsport. It shows collected readings from smart thermometers indicating above average temperatures being recorded. Hint: look south of us (and recall all those spring break news videos.) In fact, things don't look so good in the Metro area (including Hall and Forsyth counties) either.....The article explains it.

I think the snowbirds brought something from NY and NJ with them... I"ve got one more week to go from the Midwinters before I duck that one. Shok Great post, Randy.

Personally, I plan to isolate as much as possible in the middle of the lake.

Re: Info on Corona Virus

The middle of the lake might be the safest place you can be. Just be sure you don't stop anywhere along the way, and keep your social distance. BTW- yesterday all the coastal beaches in Georgia are now closed (Tybee, St. Simon's, Jekyll, etc) Glynn county (Jekyll, Brunswick) is another Atlantic coast hot spot according to that map. The map doesn't show were there are a lot cases, but rather where there may be next week. It showed the NY area as a potential hot spot last week and here we are.

Sorry bikes are just so 20th century. Only kids (or Danes) ride those. I prefer one of these:

BTW - we have all heard of Florence Nightingale. Here's one of her achievements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale

"Stephen Paget in the Dictionary of National Biography asserted that Nightingale reduced the death rate from 42% to 2%, either by making improvements in hygiene herself, or by calling for the Sanitary Commission.[24] For example, Nightingale implemented handwashing and other hygiene practices in the war hospital in which she worked.[25]"

On Wednesday, I'm going to be a resident of Hall Co. from about noon to 6 pm. We did a good job of respecting social distancing this Sunday when we rigged.

Re: Info on Corona Virus

I read all parks in Cobb county have been closed. All parks closed in Dekalb, and Gwinnett, and in Sandy Springs. You might want to just move to your lake house.

Still no word though on the city of Atlanta SIP so who knows.
