OK, so. If there's a dangerous new virus out there, you have to deal with it. If your containment plan is going to disrupt the economy and people's lives in general, you need a plan to get everything restarted. I will be keeping a watchful eye out for both.

Besides his advice about the towel Douglas Adams had some other remarkably astute comments to make about life - like this, for instance:
The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.
and the always relevant:
Protect me from knowing what I don’t need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don’t know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about.
Amen.
Good idea to keep a watchful eye on developments. Same here. Keep in touch.
It startled him even more when just after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he got lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who had finally realized that the one thing they really couldn't stand was a smart-ass.
Then there's Marvin's "Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it." Which I don't really agree with, but it is admirably pithy.
Yeah, watching is pretty much all I can do for now. And, as Adams suggested, keep occupied. I hope you and Jerry are well and comfortable.
