A spinny thingy South of Miami this morning.

 

And it became Bertha.

My wife and I are both over 65 and both considered high risk, not just because of age, but underlying issued as well. With my wife being somewhat disabled, it adds another dimension. If I should get the virus and have to self quarantine, she couldn't take care of a lot of her basic needs - preparing meals, bathing, laundry, etc. While I'm concerned for my own well being, my bigger fear is possibly bringing it back to her. Locally, our cases are relatively small compared to many other areas in the state. Still, I'll continue to practice the safety suggestions when I go out, and continue to limit my trips out shopping.
