As I mentioned in a thread on the 'other' board, I am 'stuck' here in Elko. Gas stations, drive-through fast food, grocery stores, medical facilities are open, but not much else. Traffic significantly dropped off, and most people that I see from my apartment/prison window either walk/jog, etc, alone or in a couple. So, maybe people are finally starting to take it seriously enough. (I hope so. The sooner we can contain this outbreak, the sooner we can all get back to [the new] normal.)
Here's a synopsis explaining my recent Elko history, in case anyone is so bored that they care to read it. I intended to come here temporarily [from back East] and do some traveling in the Southwest this Spring and Summer, but that didn't work out. I'm retired [military pension, VA disability, Soc Sec, so finances are okay], divorced, few bills, and, last Summer, I unexpectedly sold a house that I owned and thus had some sudden liquidity to 'play' with [not a gambler, though]. So, I decided to temp rent an apartment in Elko for 6 months and travel S. Nv, Az, NM from Feb on. But, I got here, got sick (bronchitis), injured my shoulder (slowly improving, but still a problem almost 4 months later), got an impinged nerve in my back (severe pain, couldn't lift my arms above my shoulders, took a month to heal); got sick again in early Feb (maybe bronchitis, definitely a lung issue); then Covid-19 forced everyone to curtail activities. So, I've hardly been out of this apartment much in the almost 6 months that I've been here, and now I can't go out except for emergencies/necessities. This week, I signed another 6 month lease through Sep. [Basically forced to do so by the pandemic.]
So, I'm stuck in an apartment in Elko through Sep; everything's closed for now, and I don't know anyone around here. But, at least I stocked up on THC products before the dispensary in Wendover closed. :
Still, I have it so much better than so many people, and I know that. My finances are okay, and I have the provisions I need to self-isolate (including my 'highly' important THC).
So, in regards to the title of this thread, "What ya gonna do?", I'm going to hope for the best; because given my recent Elko history, I sure can't plan on it.
