Commonwealth of Virginia's Stay-At-Home order extended through June 10. People are only allowed to leave their homes for "extremely limited circumstances" (e.g. food, medicine, care of family, certain types of work.) Even doctors practices are largely closed except for urgent needs.
Great to see the varied pictures here. Wonderful cinnabar, Jordi.

Twenty-second day, Saturday April 4, 2020 in Barcelona
Hopeful news today for Spain. Officially and also according to independent studies Spain has started the remission phase of infections and deaths.
As the Eurasian magpie in the photo it seems that after so many fateful days we are starting to take flight...

Great news, Jordi. Parts of the US are approximately 12 days behind Spain.

Michael,
Gwen and I missed it. We were in the hotel on a wake-up call list if it became visible but did not get the call. Ya'll were fortunate.
Stay safe and healthy.
Don

Twenty-third day, Sunday April 5, 2020 in Barcelona
135 fewer deaths than yesterday in Spain and although 674 more deaths are a drama, at least we see how day by day it seems to be somewhat less dramatic.
However, however... in the street you can still see old people who go for just walk without mask and without gloves, and you can also see unbecoming behaviors.
In any case, it is admirable the containment of the vast majority who do not go out on the street at all, who are maintaining the social peace effectively even after spending so many days locked up and by those particular people like the one in this old people's home that she had the good idea to stimulate with a drawing of a rainbow between clouds and the phrase "Tot Anirà Bé" (Everything Will Go Well).
Little things, but everything helps now.

This range is called the Fitz Roy range - it is the logo for the Patagonia clothing company - and one other tid-bit:
Between 12 and 16 February 2014, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold completed the first ascent of the much discussed "Fitz Traverse", climbing across the iconic ridge-line of Cerro Fitz Roy and its satellite peaks in southern Patagonia. The route is 5 kilometers long and has approximately 4000 meters of vertical elevation, with routes ranging in difficulty up to 5.11d
you also may recall the academy award winning movie "Free Solo" which featured Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes or safety gear. This is possibly the most difficult of all athletic achievements..
