Another really loud one a few hours ago - had several neighbors peeking out. I couldn't see it by the time I looked at the sky (but could still hear it).

Don't give up on Amazon Fresh for deliveries... I was obsessively refreshing their calendar yesterday and a delivery slot opened for the 5am-7am block this morning. Woke up to find everything I ordered exactly where I asked them to leave it in our secured lobby. Huge weight lifted to not have to go out in public today.
Almost everything I wanted was in stock and the order was picked 100% correctly.

In related news the storage space sent a notice that only a few people in at a time and only when scheduled and in case of a wine emergency. They no doubt have fair latitude on that one.

I think all the counties extended until May 3, shortly after the May 1 date announcement. "Let's par-tay for the weekend" is probably a bad date (i.e., May 1) to lift the restrictions.

In other words, I don't think we're going to go from current restrictions up to May 3rd (or whenever), and then "do whatever you want" on May 4th.

My prediction is that whenever restrictions begin to be lifted (and it wouldn't surprise me if it goes beyond early May), it will be a phased approach, with not all restrictions loosened at once.

Yes, I think far more likely is a series of measured steps back in the direction of normal. I doubt we'll see a return to normal for concerts and sporting events until at least July, and even that is questionable.

Taking the idea seriously for a moment, I don't think these venues can work, even if everyone is seated apart far enough. You still have inevitable congestion in concourses, restrooms, entrances, exits, etc.
