Daughter just found out in person classes are cancelled for the rest of the semester. Some may go online.

She’s super bummed. So much of what she does is lab work and studio work.

The whole point of the college experience is to be there.

It may be groups of 10 or less through August. All this stuff has to go online

Bummer. :(

The "flattening the curve" images we've shared over the last week may be wrong. I've seen several graphics with new estimates for various areas. The actual critical care hospital bed capacity is far lower than the top of the "good" curve. We will overrun the number of available beds almost immediately.

BUT the lockdowns and self-isolation and quarantining are the solution, because they can be effective pretty quickly. We'll know soon enough!

End of Monday: 4100/72

I think the "cases" number rises faster due to public understanding and test availability

Positive: Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are out of the hospital and recovering.

But now we all have Idris Elba to worry about...

I see that recovered people are becoming reinfected. WTF. If you survived this thing....... wouldn't you count your blessings and just hole up somewhere for a long time.....?

I know, I know, don't blame the victim, but still.....

Probably a lot of people wrongly assumed post case immunity, like I did.

Lodi had the first Covid-19 case in Italy, and implemented a shutdown on Feb 23. Bergamo waited until March 8.

I read there are 2 known strains so you could get it 2 times.........

Please feel free to start a thread on that base about the political side of this Griff :)
