Cash, I'm so sorry for everyone involved, especially you and your sisters and your poor dad.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

They're supposed to notify the administrators if they go out of state?? What are the admins supposed to do with that info?? Randomly decide if that makes it ok for them to go to class?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Your guess is as good as mine. The real question is whether any of the students have even been reading the notifications from the admin, or are just going tl;dr.

Now the instructions in Israel are not to hold events with more than 2000 participants in them. I really cannot see how the semester will start next week, but still no news from the university. The spring's sci-fi con next month will probably won't take place either.
I also won't go to a coworker's shiva and I feel guilty about it, but shivas right now are a petri dish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My coworker's training (in our office, maybe 50 people??) just got cancelled! They are strongly discouraging gatherings of more than 25, which just seems wild.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The MA governor just declared a state of emergency. Not sure what that means for schools and government employees yet.

Mostly it means access to some federal funding, right?

Timelies all!
Good to hear from you, Nilly, even if it's due to self-quarantine.
