Chorus says concerts are definitely on. They say the audience can spread out. Which is true...I'm more concerned about the pack of us with open mouths, breathing on each other for 90 minutes.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Don't go. Arts organizations are not making well informed decisions on this.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
aurelia, are Chicago theatres still open?
The Governor and Mayor just held a press conference in which they announced the prohibition of gatherings larger than 1000 and recommended cancelling gatherings over 250.
For my employer, tonight's preview is still on. All other performances (opening was supposed to be Monday) are cancelled until further notice. Tomorrow afternoon we're filming the show, presumably to make available to ticket holders.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Just ordered a laptop (mine is ornery, and work gave me an iPad, so I think I am pretty far down on the list to get one, because I can technically do all my work from it, it is just annoying!). My internet is terrible, and I just upped my unlimited data plan to elite for only $5 more per month so I can use my phone as a hotspot even more often (I usually go to Dunkin Donuts when I work from home). I guess that is my panic buying.
I drafted a letter to our students in clinical to let them know they must abide by the policies of the clinical site, but we will be very flexible if they cannot complete their hours on time.
I was once told there were no academic emergencies, but this sure feels like it.
The director of the PhD program has no home computer and no internet service!

I concur. Cancel everything right now.

That seems smart, aurelia.

My election is Tuesday but I'll check the lines tomorrow.
