    You are right. Time will tell. Just go forward doing the things you need to do in the order you feel they are required. Things always work out better than we predict in the long run. Meet the challenges head on.

    Ya know, this virus may accomplish what we could never agree on and do...
    All (nearly all) trucking shut down for 14 days. Just reason; truckers travel, gotta deliver. Receivers are
    there to receive it, mingling around. Best case method of spreading it nation wide, 10 hours at the stretch.

    Some carriers are actually recommending disinfecting the cab as part of both both pre and post trip. Even if you are not slip seating.

    The things in you need to do in the States require you to be there personally, or can someone else take care of it, to save you a trip back and forth?

    Here in Brasil there has been some increase in food delivery instead of people going out to eat...
    And being Brazilians very "warm" kind of people who greet each other by kissing and touching cheeks and hugging and shaking hands, the population has been advised to avoid all that...
    Here is a short video on how to greet in Brasil.. mainly in Rio, São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
    The video is in English but the part in Portuguese they say that in Rio they kiss the cheeks twice, in São Paulo one time and in Minas Gerais they kiss 3 times...

    Not sure... I will better know after seeing my mail... I have a POBox that nobody has access to... and after over 6 months I am really anxious to see my mail...
    Besides, there are other things regarding banking accounts in the USA that I must be there in person to solve cause they happened one week before my emergency trip to Brasil and I couldn't take care of it... also want to meet my accountant in person...
    Will meet a couple of friends in USA and hopefully they will be able to take care of things for me while I am back in Brasil for a second round...

    That’s a wise precaution anyway if you paired up with somebody that tends to shy away from the bath tub, or might even have to drive a truck behind that person once. One time I wound up with a nice big quarter sized abscess on my back, and I can only figure that’s how I got it. That was the worst pain I ever felt.
