I have come to look at this whole situation as, I will do the best I can to maintain social distancing, and personal sanitation. BUT since I (and the folks left in my work area on Hill) have been determined to be "mission essential" if I can get up every morning, get to work, accomplish my mission so the A.F. can continue to accomplish it's mission, while 50% of my shop were allowed to take 14 days paid, but uncharged administrative leave due to real or maybe imagined underlying medical issues that make them supposedly more susceptible to Covid19, then I should be able to continue my personal social distancing in my chosen outdoor activities that all pertain to being on, or near the water fishing. What better distancing is there when I am in my boat, in the middle of a lake or river? Or stitting on a bank where the closest living thing to me are Seagulls, Midge flies, skeeters, etc; 
Even if a family member (wife or son) is with me, none of us are sick (and if we were, we wouldn't be out and about) and even in the boat we are 8 to 10 feet apart.
As a few others on here have stated, I too have been closely associated with an arm of the US government. I have been in and worked for the USAF since I was 17. I too am a firm believer of the "trust but verify" statement. (Yea Bob, he was my favorite Commander in Chief). I see what is happening in states that are mostly in the blue political camp, and even to some extent in the staunch red areas, and it is looking like Katrina all over again but on a coast to coast scale. The quote that I most often think of, and I probably misquote it most of the time "those who give up their freedoms for security, end up with neither". I sincerly hope that this current national emergency is managed in an intelligent way without alot of knee-jerk over reactions by local, state, or federal agencies.
Ok Bob, I'll get off of the soap box you left open.........
