I'm a teacher in Ohio. Today will be the last day with kids for a while. I have some ideas for distance learning I need to get together. I teach K-4 art. No one is sure what is going to happen. Making this up as we go.

I work in a walk-in, urgent care clinic full time and a primary care doctor’s practice part time. I’ll be dead by June.

NO!! You just walked into a whole bunch of nothing! A friend from work is on her honeymoon vacation at Spring Training - they cannot be pleased.
I was so excited for MLB that I have been gobbling up grapefruit games on the Dodgers station. I'm glad I got to catch a few games on TV before it postponed.

Working in retail it`s business as usual, but people are clearing the shelves of toilet roll and bottled water. We have very good water on tap in the UK, so i cannot understand it. Nor the hoarding of toilet roll. My friend in Australia tells me the toilet roll panic buying is worse there. We do have anti-bac hand gel at the doors, but i heard that in other stores, the dispensers have been ripped off the wall and taken, and instances of customers decanting the gel into empty jars they brought with them! Gotta love the human race!

...
Lemming mentality at work. See someone with a cart full of TP and figure "I must get my share!" Wouldn't a shower work much like a bidet. TP would be one of the least things to worry about if it came down to it. Some companies stocks must be doing ok during this.

And the worst part to this horrid irony is that these are all GOOD things in treating this disease, and keeping it from killing thousands and tens of thousands. Actions that seem like overreactions are all occurring in good time and promptly.
It seems crazy, it seems panic-stricken, but it's actually logical (except for statements from the American Administration.)

I foolishly stopped by the grocery store on the way home yesterday. It was bumper-to-bumper in there, with people wearing masks and an old lady intermittently screaming, "You're all gonna die anyway! You're all gonna die!"

Have to pick up a prescription from CVS, so I’ll probably check the grocery store. I worry, of course, because forty plus years of working at home, alone, has left me with virtually no immune system. I can catch a cold over the phone!
