Not really worried, me and SO work from home for the duration of the lock down.
Also got a permit to travel in my area for callouts and on standby as a ambulance driver if shyte really hits the fan.
And the yard is 1000 square meters, if cabin fever strikes.

I , for one, am not going to live in fear over this. Its business as usual here and I dont see that stopping. If I suddenly disappear ..............you will know I made the wrong decision.
Let me clarify my position a bit. Im self employed and work alone. I travel to each job alone, and 95% of the time I am working to repair equipment alone. The only interaction I get with others is IF I go to the grocery store with my wife. I know I am in a unique position which indeed helps to keep the fear away.

I see @Ronsii knows how to extract EXIF data.
EXIF is short for Exchangeable Image File, a format that is a standard for storing interchange information in digital photography image files using JPEG compression. Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used and resolution. Some images may even store GPS information so you can easily see where the images were taken!
Yeah, I used to just go in with a hex editor and find what I needed for fixing files/recovering things like pw's and such but nowadays most all the decent photoshop type proggies have tools in them to find/insert/change just about any data you want....

Beautiful sunny day, here, got to like 58ºF, here, today, got to do something I like to do. Working on a produce wagon, for a friend. Basically putting a roof on a old hay wagon. Put the end frames on, and it was about an inch outta square (measured diagonals) Hooked a come-a-long to the long side, pulled the 2X6 frame, right into square. Locked it there, by inlaying a couple 1X6 braces, into the top surfaces of the 2X6's, and glued them in with gorilla glue and 2 screws per brace end. Man that pin oak 1X6 sure was hard screwin! Hadda start the screws, then back out, repeat several times, for each screw! Sure beats waitin in line, fer TP, though!:)

Was in mid 70s here yesterday, already well over 60 as a rolling warm front moves north. Quite an impressive light show around 2 this morning as I walked off another sore night, rains followed the I-70 corridor KC to STL we were spared.

Local restaurant we often stopped into was running a carryout special yesterday, Pan Fired Chicken with smashed taters white gravy and a peas mixed vege du jour with a piece of Carrot Cake for $9. Wife and I sat at the river front after she got off work, watched the water pass and listened to the UP train that blew thru picnic style eating dinner then came home.
