I hope that everyone is following procedures adopted in your home areas to keep from getting the COVID-19 virus, or transmitting it. These will be trying times for all humanity while this pestilence works its way through the population. There are plenty of things you can photograph from the confines of your own home if it is not safe to be out and about. The virus has now appeared in my area, so I'm restricting my movements to the grocery and laundromat. Time to get things organized around here, and take photos of the planes as they go by the balcony on final now that it is warmer. At least the ones that are still flying.
So stay safe and well, appreciate your loved ones more, and hopefully we'll all come through this in good shape.
PF

Thank you, PF! I can only second what you said about the necessity of following procedures to interrupt as many potential chains of infection as we can. This is no hoax but a serious health threat to us all, and a lot depends on us how long this pandemic will last.
Here in Germany the situation still appears to be under control, but the crisis has only just begun so nobody can tell where we will be in two or three weeks. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Italy and Spain where the situation has spiraled out of control and people are going through hell. 620 Italians died from COVID-19 only yesterday, and numbers keep rising. Hospital staff, overworked and running out of protective gear & I.C.U. beds w/h ventilators and respirators, must now decide who's to live and who's to die. Spain suffered more than 300 casualties in one single day. Experts currently warn of a similar crisis in Britain.
So please hunker down if the authorities say so, stay safe and well everybody!

I can only echo the above. I live in London and can only say that I’m shocked by how many people are just ignoring the social distancing rules. Stay safe everyone.

AND don't forget your much neglected darkroom! I could spend YEARS down there going through my old negatives that I promised myself to work on DECADES ago. Fortunately, I have a good stereo down there for company. The radio will notify me when it's safe to come out.

I hope you all and your families are doing well, let's hope for the best and be prepared for... staying home a bit longer And I second xkaes's motion to take advantage of the situation and enlarge all those forgotten negs and re-do those pictures that are okay but deep inside we know could be better.
