> Hello everybody!  I hope everybody is staying healthy and sane!

>
> I’m curious to know how different field stations are thinking about this
> summer.  Are you in wait and see mode?  Shutting down? Business as normal?
> Innovative ideas on supporting remote research that you are willing to

> The community that RMBL is embedded in is under very strict restrictions.
> We’ve had about 50 positive tests (county of 15,000) with about 500
> positive self-reports (so far, about half of people with results have
> tested positive).  We have closed non-essential businesses (though liquor
> stores and recreational MJ dispensaries are considered essential) and they
> are asking everybody to stay away.  It is unclear how long this will/can go
> on, but I’m curious to hear about what others are seeing at their field
> stations!
