Yes, happy birthday Mark (you young'un)! It's a great age. I remember it well given that I lived it just a year ago.
The information coming forth now in Florida, where the virus has not had a significant effect to date, is they want separation in order to flatten the curve of infection. That is, if less people are exposed, the rise in cases is likely to happen over a longer period of time and that would avoid overrunning the medical services industry (hospitals to whatever).
I think we can fairly say that they should have explained that before asking for the separation (shutting schools, shutting down sports, and other things). Those standing behind the President and representing our national healthcare departments should have made their intentions clear. Maybe some of you around the country heard this early. The first I heard of it was last evening and they began to elaborate on it this morning. As usual, if people have a good explanation, it tends to reduce the panic feature of our general nature. It just seems to have been mentioned later than it should have been. Overall though, they seem to be handling it reasonably well.
I too hope you all fair well during this event. Time to pull the hardware off that set you've been thinking about cleaning up?
Also, good luck with your move Mark. That is also not a pleasant task.
