Still working on the face touching thing. I love my face.
I was touching my face as I read that. My default position when I read (internet or print) is to prop my head in my left hand, sometimes with my fingers across my face (I don't even know; I'm a feral child), and sometimes gnawing on the side of my thumb. So basically I need to boil my hands in bleach at all times.

As soon as I hit post, I immediately propped my head back in my left hand. Jesus, Steph. You are a wreck of a feral child.

Seriously, I wipe my eyes approximately 98,645 times a day.
Fuck me, how is it almost 3:00??? I need to stop taking internet breaks and finish this article. Shoo me away if I'm back here before dinner (unless I say I finished editing) (I promise I will not lie about it just so I can post).
My face has never itched more in my life, now that I'm not supposed to touch it.

Since I'm a contact lens wearer, I'm already pretty good about grabbing a tissue if I feel a need to rub my eyes.

THIS, on the other hand...
I feel like I'm not a face-toucher much, but then it all turns around when I sit down and start reading on the computer.
My University just closed to undergraduate students, but is allowing graduate and professional students to remain on campus and do reasearch and small group work.
My group has to help an entire nursing program go from 100% in person to 100% online by Monday.

My U has not announced anything (the committee met yesterday, so I have been hitting refresh expecting to get a message) and students are on spring break but I have been meeting with faculty in every way possible to get them ready for online classes.
I had lunch with my counterpart at a much bigger, much more highly ranked school in town, and she told me their presumption is on a snow day that people will teach online, and it pretty much works. Of course, we are a mostly lecture based discipline.
My community college has had two all-campus emails today that confirm that we are on a regular schedule. Fortunately, the virus hasn't spread to our part of Eastern Washington yet, although people are losing their damn minds anyway.
I don't have any idea how I would run online microbiology labs. I sure as hell am not sending them home with more microbes than they already have! Sophia, nursing education that has no hands-on also fills me with dread. Best of luck to you!
It should be very interesting to see how WebEx and Zoom handle the load once everyone comes back from Spring Break. To say nothing of local internet services.
