Luckily, I have a modest pension which will keep the wolves from my door, but the missing income from those 8 to 10 shows a month sure make a huge difference in my spending habits.

You don't know how lucky you are Earl. My folks told me that during the Great Depression the only people that made out were those who had any income at all, no matter how modest it was. My mother's family survived on a military disability pension my grandfather received from the Federal Government of $100.00 a month. If we open up too quickly and we have a double recession/depression consumer confidence will be shattered and we won't come out of this for years.
