I received a text from Scott a few minutes ago with the bad news. Scott has asked me to report that the Randall shop is closed to the public and, indeed, totally closed due to multiple knife makers having contracted Covid 19.
Not just "testing positive" but they are actually out sick with it...all of them! The severity runs from moderate to more severe. I will not disclose any names but let's wish them all well and a speedy recovery, pray for the health and well-being of everyone who has been in contact with them...(Including the Ol' Captain).
I'll post more if and when more details are forthcoming.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: So...for those of you who think this crap ain't real...or "don't know anybody who has caught this virus"...There ya' go...CCS

Terrible news, Captain. Will be praying for a swift recovery for the Randall crew and for no further spread in the shop (or to you). Read this AM that the number of positive tests in Florida equates to 1 in 50 of our population. Have also read the actual infections could be 10 times higher. So, potentially 1 of 5 people we come in contact with here in Fla. has, or has had, the virus. And there are still idiots (yes, I said it) out there arguing about masks?

Pulling for all of them.

It is really difficult to totally avoid exposure....

And it is hard to get across to some of our friends how if they are exposed to one person they are also exposed to everyone in the universe that person was exposed to.

Stay hunkered down if you can, and you and yours wear masks whenever you are around people not from your own home.

The mask and avoiding people are the only protection we have at this time.

Even with all precautions there's no guarantee of avoiding Covid. Since mid-March my wife and I have remained in the house and have not visited with family or friends. Have gone out only once a week for groceries (and one doctor visit). Have worn masks, washed and sanitized hands, maintained social distance in store, etc. Needless to say, somehow we both have it. Thank God it hasn't been critical enough for hospitalization, but it's at least as severe as a bad case of the flu.
...and when will we be able to smell coffee again?
