Well, DAMN: Ohio is banning gatherings of 100 people or more and closing K-12 schools for at least three weeks beginning at the close of school Monday. [link]
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Theaters are going to be closed. And the ones that are open aren't going to have anybody. Concerts are being cancelled.
Opening Day for Baseball has been cancelled and the first two weeks of the season.

Currently closely watching to see whether St. Patrick's Day Parade & Irish Festival will be cancelled on Saturday, and House of Ireland Program on Sunday. I wouldn't miss the parade (I never get there that early anyway), but I'd be bummed if they cancel Irish Faire, and I'm supposed to be performing at the HoI Program (plus seeing friends I haven't seen in an annoyingly long time).

Man, that hurts. I mean, we have to flatten the curve, whatever it takes. But that still hurts.

Our wings are not tired.
States and cities are having to make the decisions without a lot of guidance from the federal level. Ignoring the orange occupant and listening to the Epidemiologists would lead one to believe that seriously hunkering down and eliminating elective gatherings is a pretty good idea. So I won't cry about missing my parade, much.

My parents new home, a retirement community is on lockdown. Meals being delivered door to door.
My work is becoming crazy. Dept of aging centers closing. Recs and parks closing. We have no official policy out to us about who is getting paid and when and how.
We are getting remote access requests in fast and furious for our department, I can only imagine e how slammed IT is.

My son's FIL has a BMX competition on Saturday that we were planning to attend. I'll have to check and see if it is still on.

At our dept meeting this morning, they checked to see who could do their job remotely, and whether we have the equipment. So, after 15 years here, I may finally get a laptop. Though I'm unclear where IT is supposed to producing all these laptops from.

I learned that we can remote in on our personal computers, so that is good. I am sure it is not as secure though. As of now, we are still open and I do not have access to any programs anyway.

They have four new cases in San Francisco today and three are by "community spread." Meaning, they haven't located the source of the infection. So...untreated, undiagnosed people are already spreading it in SF.
