The only call we've had this month was last Saturday afternoon. "Hey a tree in the backyard fell and took out some power lines. I already called the city, but I figured you'd want to come check it out."

Fortunately, it didn't hit any buildings or damage anything other than the one power line. The tree isn't in anyone's way, so we can take our time having it cut up and hauled away. Definitely could have been worse.

All of our tenants know up front that we have a zero tolerance policy in regards to drug use. It is in the lease and we go over that point carefully with all tenants, including the cops we've rented to. 

In this situation, I would check on him in a couple of days, schedule an inspection, and while doing the inspection let him know that he will have to leave due to the lease violation. 

Of course! What was I thinking? Why would I believe my good friend, whom I have known for over 40 years, when I have you, a stranger on the internet, to tell me what is true? 

Here's another good example:
Cities Use Drones To Monitor People & Enforce Social Distancing

The irony of using drones from China for this . . .

Here are two excellent examples of government overreach in this "crisis":

1. From a high school friend of mine who lives in San Jose, CA:
"So does Shelter-In-Place mean I can’t be out side gardening in my backyard or working on my house and doing stucco and fixing possible leaks in walls??? Apparently so. I noticed the San Jose Police Helicopter circling above Glider Elementary School (now closed, since June 2018) when 2 officers enter my open gate on my side yard to tell me that only emergency construction was currently allowed. I pointed out to them that the only reason of a possible spread of the virus was because they came into my back yard without a mask.. I told them to leave... Eventually they did... After I got a warning... I said they didn’t have permission to come onto my property... They said they announced who they were.l and asked me to get off of the ladder... I said, “why am I going to run away?” Or are you going to shoot me... Obviously, I’m a danger to them if I have a trowel of stucco in my hand... When did it become the interest of the police to stop someone applying stucco on the back of his house... but it’s okay for everyone and his dog to take a walk?????"

2. [Headline] Springfield, Greene County leaders loosen some restrictions on stay-at-home order
That "loosening" boils down to this: "Springfield Mayor Ken McClure said many businesses previously deemed “non-essential” will be allowed to take orders via telephone or the Internet. Those businesses will also be allowed to fulfill the orders through shipping, delivery, or curbside pickup, effective immediately."
Those restrictions should never have been put in place, and are exactly what the people who are protesting are reacting to. For a little perspective, Greene County has a population of about 300,000, 85 virus cases, (39 active) and 7 deaths.

That is the key sentence in your entire post. What you don't seem to understand is that there is disagreement about what "the greater good" actually is.

As Bryan pointed out, you are in a heavily infected area, working with people who are very susceptible. Have you considered the conditions in other areas? Hospitals in many areas are practically empty because the only patients they are admitting are emergencies, maternity, and virus patients - and they have very few virus patients. Healthcare workers are being laid off! It sounds crazy, but it's true. Continuing the restrictions in these areas is arguably NOT for the greater good, even from a healthcare perspective.

Where are the women? Working, of course!

Saw this on Facebook today:

"Looking for a friend.

A friend of mine is needing a 3 br house for about  400 in or around *****. He has an eviction on his record from like 3 years ago but have lived at their current address for over 2 years. He has a dog and 3 cats. TIA"

Too bad all of mine are full or I'd just jump all over that! *eye roll*

How do they know that she infected the others? If she is asymptomatic, then how do they know when she got it, and from whom? Perhaps one of the other 3 coworkers infected her and the others. 

They actually said in their email, "How can you let me down?" If so, do not walk away from this applicant, RUN! I guarantee you, this prospect will NOT turn out to be a good tenant. They are manipulative liars now, and it will only get worse.
