I talked to Dad today, he is taking this a little more seriously. Although he said he has food for "3 or 4 days" .....BUT he then reminded me he also as pantry supplies and TP etc at the beach so if he needs to he can go get them there. Or even stay there. he was trying to decide if that woudl be a good option. One the pro side it's more isolated . The down sides are no tv, no internet except for cell service and it's further from medical care if that is necessary.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ohio is closing all bars and restaurants, starting tonight. They'll still be open for takeout and delivery (and they're encouraging that, since supplies at grocery stores are getting low), but absolutely no food served on-site.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
IL is doing the same starting tomorrow.

SC just announced all the public schools will close. Four days ago this was not the case.
We haven't gotten to the point of restaurants closing. There are some new cases developing some from no known source of exposure and others that do. In greenville county a student who traveled to Spain tested positive and is in isolation.
The testing is so far behind. I assume it's spreading here and we just don't know about it. I keep waiting to find out someone who has worked at the mall has tested positive.

My parents told me that someone from their church sent an email saying that she wanted to attend service today but knew she shouldn't "because of the carnivores".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
because of the carnivores
The food chain is a harsh mistress.

Welp, there goes New York.

CA suggests that bars and wineries close, and that restaurants focus on takeout and delivery. I don't think it's an order as such. As far as I know I'm still going into the office tomorrow (it doesn't put me particularly at risk, we don't deal with the public or congregate in large groups, it's just kinda weird against the background of all the other closures)

I'm officially working from home. The libraries are closing for 3 weeks, schools too. Buses won't allow any standing passengers, bars and restaurants have to observe the 2 m. distance between diners. They really need to shut down bars before Paddy's Day or it's going to be a mess.

I am waiting on the bus situation. I am essential so I have to go in tomorrow, but if there is no bus there is no going in. It would take me 3 hours and 7 minutes to walk, and everyone has agreed that is crazy. If they need me, they will have to come and get me.
