My sister-in-law is graduating from med school and her "match day" where she finds out where she'll be doing her residency for the next 5 years of her life is in a couple weeks. They aren't allowing anyone to be there for it, not even spouses. A lot of colleges are telling their students not to return to campus after spring break; they'll be conducting all of their classes online moving forwards. Another friend of mine is a flight attendant and said she's started having flights that are literally empty; like a flight from Boston to Philly with 0 passengers on it because everyone is afraid to be on a plane. Edit: Just heard Syracuse University is following suit. All online classes for at least a week after spring break so that students are home for at least 14 days before they consider bringing them back to school. Edited March 10, 2020 by DCOrange

Incredible. Now is definitely the time to travel. I wouldn't mind having a plane all to myself. A friend of mine said they found a round trip flight from Los Angeles to Rome for $500. Of course nobody wants to go to Italy right now. 1

It shut down an entire country. It's going to shut down more. This isn't a super big deal if you are young, but if you are older or have complications it's a huge deal. Sure, the college kids will likely be fine. How about the staff? Just had a case here, a pediatric cardiologist got it and is now in the hospital. I know who this person is, my son saw him 10 years ago and he was old then. He also happens to be excellent at his job so he's still working. It certainly matters to him.

Unlike most of McD’s defenders, he doesn’t get moved backwards when he tackles - the play ends there. I still think about Sam Cowart sometimes. What a damn shame his injury was. He didn't look like he would be good, he looked like he was going to be great. We'll never know. That last game against the Bucs...wow. He was a grown man playing football against a bunch of boys. Cheers to Sam Cowart. Edited March 10, 2020 by somnus00 4 4

We're on the verge of cancelling a trip to FL to visit an elderly uncle. Use hand sanitizer, don't touch your face, etc. is all well & good, but bringing young kids & a nursing home into the equation could be downright irresponsible.

I went to a CVS and two grocery stores and all the shelves are wiped clean of hand sanitizer despite store imposed limits per customer. It felt like water and BEER flying off the shelves before a hurricane! ? If possible, maybe some FaceTime for now with kids and folks in nursing homes. I called my 92 year old mother today to give her a heads up......I usually take her to lunch and then the grocery store, but it feels like a good time to keep a low profile in her apartment. I’ll drop off anything she needs. 1 1

To that end, I always use one hand to touch whatever I have to during my daily commute, keep the other hand clean, and sanitize as soon as I get in the office. It's as if the last 20 years have prepared me for this exact moment. 11 minutes ago, Foxx said: in a pinch, rubbing alcohol can be used as a sanitizer. hell any alcohol over 80 proof can be used to that end.
