After lunch, there was a special meeting held by Suzie and Peter regarding the Coronavirus. Italy is now in lockdown; the hospitals are filled to capacity.  The Coronavirus is now called COVID 19 and it is spreading throughout the world.  The United States was particularly unprepared for a Pandemic, and the numbers of those infected are rising significantly. “We must stay In place for several more months.  We can’t go outside. The situation is dire,” said Suzie. The good news is none of us are infected.  We want to keep it that way,” said Peter.  “We must stay in place.  Luckily since none of us are infected, we don’t need to wear face masks,” concluded Peter.  “What about our owners?  Are they safe?  Will you be able to update us on them?” said Phoebe close to tears.  “We will try to find out how your family is doing and let them know you are safe, but we have to be very careful.  We don’t want the government to know where we are,” said Suzie.  “There are still hunting for you four,” said Suzie. “As far as food goes, we still have enough for two months; after that, we will have to have food delivered. At that point, we will be at risk for exposure to COVID 19. We will then have to take steps to protect us for exposure to the virus,” said Peter. “Now I suggest we go about our days and do our work to keep this place and us safe,” concluded Peter.
