I finally saw on FB that my friend is OK (though a tree fell on their house!), thank god. Now I just have to plan to wait in line for 1-2 hours to vote on my way home -- several polling stations are affected, so four or five precincts are all being funneled into one community center to vote.

my parent company just canceled all non-essential travel

I'm worried about the assisted living where I work being quarantined -- haven't heard how that will affect me or the other 'outside' people, like do we move in for the duration? (There are empty units and cots, so this is a possible strategy for some.)

Am washing hands frequently.

I can share a little bit of good news: one of our residents, who happens to be a particular favorite of mine, is moving out to a regular apartment! She had been diagnosed with ataxia, and expected to be quadriplegic in a few short years, but it appears the ataxia was actually caused by a bad drug side effect, and now that it's cleared her system, she's getting some major function back -- maybe not to 100%, but enough that she can go back to living in a regular apartment, with a regular life span, et cetera.

Great news!

I've gone and voted and feel like I'm on the other side of the cold now. Just a little headachey.

Voting cures the common cold?!?

That's wonderful news for your resident, Theo.

I just sold a pair of shoes to a guy who is going to Vegas for a 10 day trade show tomorrow. So not everything is cancelled. Although I'm not sure how I would feel about going to a trade show during this.

Out big trade show (Housewares, which actually had a diifferent name this year before it was cancelled) is cancelled, but we had already opted out of it (not that I ever go, but I read those emails)

I have a conference in Houston in a month. Just got an email from them that it is currently still happening.

I did have a project that was scheduled for Shanghai this month move to March 2021. It's the smart decision, but now I'm working to fill the income gap that that will leave.

I am concerned about how cancellations on events will impact my business.

Voting cures the common cold?!?

brb starting a Twitter rumor that voting cures Covid19...

(Unless you vote for Bloomberg. That actually makes it worse. Don't blame me I don't make the rules.)
