Visiting audio stores?

This is probably the last concern on many people's minds, so I'm raising this just in case anyone feels like relaying their experience.

I've become pretty cautious about where I go and why. So, for me, I'm not going to any audio stores to listen to gear, out of caution about the virus. I do feel concern for these stores and how it will impact them. Are folks going? Anyone running an audio store who wants to comment? How are you coping? Are you changing any policies or running any more sales online? Changes in trial periods to help more people try out gear remotely?

Again, this is a minor concern given the larger dimensions of this virus situation, but I thought I'd reach out with a question.

Your right big_greg it IS about the math which is why instituting a travel ban and then claiming “mission accomplished accomplished” was such a huge blunder. Instead we should have readying our medical infrastructure and testing on a mass scale to mitigate the spread. This administration was warned repeatedly that the country was not ready to handle a pandemic and that travel bans are not effective.  But as I said they are only worried about the optics....which aren’t too good I might add.

Oh well I’m at a 3500 acre hunting ranch with stockpiles of provisions to last more than a year. Hope the rest of you had the foresight to see this coming further than a month ago.

"...the mortality rate in the US is falling and is currently about 5 times less than Italy, which probably has the highest mortality rate, or maybe Iran. Spain is not far behind if I recall correctly."
U.S.A. came into this more prepared than other mentioned countries with more available resources for better outcome. How long will that hold remains to be seen.

@chrshanl37 I think I misinterpreted your remarks.  I think we're on the same page.

Here’s a link at six moons of a review of the MHDT Labs Orchid for you to check out.
My apologies as I misspoke about the MHDT Labs Orchid using a compliment of 6922’s tubes. It actually uses one 396A's or one of it’s many variants. It’s a great read too. I hope this helps.
