Ugh, ND. I'm sorry. My heart goes out to everyone who is going to be struggling through this financially. Our finances aren't affected yet because TCG still has to work. I don't know how long that will last.

Scrappy, I'm sorry about your aunts.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What a day/week! We started moving everything online this morning with a 9 am lecture. Now classes are cancelled for the rest of the week to give us a chance to catch up. Nobody knows what is happening nor is their any clarity on whether we are considered essential. Right now they are Faculty can work at home, but have to come in within a reasonable amount of time if deployed. Staff is less clear, because some work is essential to the School, and we won't be deployed, so maybe I can work at home. No one has decided whether I am essential to the School functioning.
Nurses are setting up in various offices to try to move everything non-life threatening to telemedicine. This is all hands on deck- our employee wellness and travel medicine nurses were doing it all day

Catching up-
I am glad the colonoscopy went as well as can be expected.
I am sorry about your aunts, Scrappy.
Congratulations Maria!
We are (at work) all freaking out about odd things that don't really matter. One professor wants to know how she logs her hours if deployed and who is paying for it (She gets paid more as a nurse than a professor, and works for both the hospital and the SON). I am freaking out about how to get to work if they shut down public transit, since I can't work from home if I can't get to work.

Ugh yes that sucks, ND. I'm grateful my job is already done from home but feel bad for all the nurses and doctors I work with who work with cancer patients—so hard for the medical folks and even harder for the patients—don't have a lot of choice about coming to the hospital and they're immunosuppressed and can't wait.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats, Maria!
So the governor of MD has declared that bars, theaters, gyms and restaurants are to be closed starting tonight. The restaurants can still do take out and drive-through service, though I'm not sure about delivery. Sigh...

I went back and had missed NDs post. That sounds terrible
That reminds me, I don't think I have seen a post here or on Facebook from NoraDierdre lately. Has anyone heard from her?

I am home. My parental medical Fury Road trip to the hospital in St. Joe is DONE, Mom is now home for the next ?? weeks, and I think I just earned my first HAZMAT procedures certification: I went full zombie bite paranoid, and I regret NOTHING.
And now my adrenal glands can stop working overtime, yeah, kthx...
