Our governor has been gradually easing back on her restrictions for some time now. She has divided the state into regions and is lifting restrictions faster in the regions that have been minimally affected by the virus since the beginning. This is one of the things she refused to consider when the legislature asked her to before they pulled the plug on her state of emergency. I think the only businesses still closed in our region are hair salons and barber shops. Bars and restaurants are operating at 50% capacity. Mask wearing seems to be declining, although it never was 100% except in that one store I told you about. Cheboygan County is still reporting 21 cases and one death. The death happened early in the crisis, probably late March or Early April, and at least half of the remaining cases have officially recovered. Last I heard, the big Hospital in Petoskey was treating two new corona patients after having discharged the other two that they had been treating previously. Doctors and dentists are now being allowed to treat other than corona patients, I'm not sure about veterinarians. And so it goes.
Old Dog emailed me and offered to send me some yeast that he had on hand, but I told him not to bother. I'm sure it will reappear in the stores eventually like everything else has. Meanwhile there is a small Mom and Pop bakery that I have been meaning to try anyway. You can brew beer as well as make bread with wild yeast, but the results are not as predictable as with store bought yeast.
