What will be?
Lots of early unknowns, ambiguities and anxiety about what will be when this winds down.
-Who will get rehired at their job and who won’t? -Which restaurants and other businesses won’t reopen? -What public attractions and distractions will stay closed? -How long before we can feel safe in a pub? -Will we ever be able to shake hands and hug again? -How many sports franchises will shut down? -What will the new normal be for vacation travel? -Will any airlines tank and airfares go up do to less capacity when people are ready to travel? -What effect will this all have on the real-estate market? -Will mortgage defaults tank that market like in 2008?
On a personal level, can we afford to stay in Hawaii?
We’ll likely make a quick decision, as early as the end May, if this drags on. Worry about
On a #StayatHome diversion note, just got Out of the Park Baseball 21 for Steam.
Wanted to do some bread baking, guess everyone else had the same idea. Stores out of flour, yeast and buttermilk (for Irish soda bread). oh well, try again next week, there’s plenty of time.

Our internet speed is down by about 30-40% since stay at home started. This is the issue with cable internet, its daisy chained. I can’t get DSL cable in our location

Everyone in the great state of California, hunker down and be safe. Sounds like it’s gonna get much worse, especially down South.

I think Hawaii is in for a major reboot of our tourism centric economy. I don’t see people getting back to regular, full scale vacation travel for a long time. We recovered relatively quick from Gulf War1, 9/11, 2008 Depression and the Lava Flow, but this one runs deep.

Lots of website are crashing or freezing, but I was able to cancel all of my sports streaming service subscriptions. Will add them back when sports come back. The only one still active is ESPN+, it’s part of Disney+ package.
