I have no anger. The virus is serious enough that we should stop doing things, or slow them down. My only anger is Trump calling it the flu.

So... no trade with Europe for 30 days?"We will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will are be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground," the President said from the Oval Office.
Trump said there will be certain exemptions made for certain Americans "who have undergone appropriate screenings."
"These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom," Trump added.

Oof.
Why not from Asia, as well? We can't do without cheap stuff from China (and all electronics)?

Prediction: people and cargo will start changing planes/ships in Israel, and then come on over.

I just read an actual news article *shudder*, and it specified "And all who have traveled to those countries in the last 14 days."

A nearby school system is set to announce that Friday is their last day of school for who knows how long...
It's not public yet, but I know a high up person. Hint: They're south of my community.

Not TPS. Farther South.
OSU and TTUN cancel their spring games and OSU will not do on campus or off campus recruiting for a while.

Ahhh. I'd like if TPS closed, it would ease traffic on my daily commutes.

I can also tell you that Michigan teachers in my district have a meeting tomorrow. Cancelling school might be getting discussed.
Sylvania schools have told their teachers to prepare 10-14 days of work for kids to do from home.
Also, the school system I was talking about is BG.

That was my guess.... but I only have fingers crossed for TPS. 
My girlfriend's kid goes to Sylvania. She's a Montessori teacher.
I don't know whether or not I want my kid's school to close.

Our youngest has a small immunodeficiency (not boy in the bubble stuff, but less than normal), so we contacted her school. They said they'll excuse any absences, and will prepare her work for her 1 week at a time if she wants.

Speaking of my girlfriend the teacher, she keeps getting me sick over and over, delivering to me whatever illness her little hippie yuppie larva bring in to school.

Thanks. In general, it just means she gets sicker than most kids. What that means for coronavirus specifically, given that it has been more severe for older people, who knows. But I'd rather be safe.
Has she had her IGA and IGG levels tested? (That's what our daughter is low in)

She doesn't get sick. She just carries it to me. I had chemo.....18 years ago, so my immune system still isn't completely robust and i get sniffles every Monday.
