Maybe this is like a dress rehearsal for an actual plague. I guess that's good.

Good luck. I doubt they'll cancel something this close to its date, but you never know.

Ohio and Michigan schools have just met and I know Michigan teachers get briefed tomorrow, Ohio teachers this afternoon. I've heard they'll be asked to prepare 10-14 days worth of lessons for kids to do from home.

I just left a coronavirus meeting for my company and was asked to get laptops ready for our salaried folks who don't already have them so they can work from home.

Our annual meeting is in the beginning of May and I have a feeling it's going to be canceled or virtualized (that discussion has happened as well).

Just overheard at dentist office:

"I hope this all blows over before tick season, otherwise people will be getting Corona and Lyme."

We've got everyone VPN ready now. But honestly, our office's bandwidth is kinda terrible (think home cable internet) for uplink, so we'd probably just have to have everyone whitelist to Amazon for access. But, hopefully the cloud stays up. :)

Dewine is supposedly ordering something about "mass gatherings" soon but I haven't seen specifics.

Huh. Good news that something's in Michigan. First time for everything I guess.

I feel like a pilgrim in an unholy land, when surrounded by MI license plates.

ACC, Big 12, Big Ten to limit tournament access to family, essential personnel
A little odd since the ACC tourney started yesterday, but no more crowds as of tomorrow.

It's like the last event to cancel gets stuck with the bill.

Republicans wanted Obama to look bad, Dems want Trump to look bad.

But the media just wants to hype and overdramataicize everything, regardless of who's president.

But in this case, making Trump look bad has gotten the trade shows all y'all were going to, cancelled.

Feels like there should be some anger there.
