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.

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

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.

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!

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

I concur. Cancel everything right now.

IL election is Tuesday. I'm going to avail myself of early voting tomorrow.

That seems smart, aurelia.

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

Well my dad's class reunion is soon and he said they haven't cancelled it or postponed it yet. He is on the committee and I guess one of the only committee members to vote to do either. His ballroom dance event on Monday is still on. I mean he is in Tallahassee but still for the love of God protect yourself. He said he won't worry until there is a case diagnosed in the county. I told him the testing has been so limited that it is missing people.

I assume it's here in Greenville . Our store has cancelled bra fittings, suit fittings and any make up demos and applications. Also we are to santize the keypads and stylus and keyboard etc after every customer.

The instacart substitutions are crazy. I have basically been chatting non-stop with the shopper! I had to get scented cat litter!

Thanks -t, I am starting a spreadsheet and doing a round of cards this weekend.

did I already post that MD schools close monday for 2 weeks, - the whole state.
