Even though we're returning slowly, it was MUCH busier this week than it was when I did a day in office a couple of weeks ago so I fear it's only a matter of time before we're surging back to normal heedless of second spikes. *Sigh.* The government seems determined to have almost all business back open in some capacity by July... I just wonder what the autumn/winter seasons will bring. I mean, normal coughs, colds and flus abound then never mind covid! <br /><br />People need to remember that this isn't over for a scary number of people seem to have 'forgotten'. <br /><br />Hope the mass return to office wasn't too bad this week for you... I'll check back in tomorrow for the update! :)<br /> Niccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122972546470154598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-72467611474004095852020-06-17T11:11:05.581-04:002020-06-17T11:11:05.581-04:00There was a "voluntary quarantine" for t...There was a "voluntary quarantine" for those arriving from NY back in March/April but even then it wasn't enforced.

My husbands work talked about possibly July with a phase in lasting a few weeks, but they haven't mentioned it lately as cases in our county rise even though the state as a whole is seeing a decline. Yeah,I would not want all those people arriving in my town. I am surprised since I thought Florida still had the quarantine in place for 14 days for new arrivals.
