Yes it is. University of Delaware where my other daughter is has cancelled classes but not made people move out for a week. Hear it's party central. Not really my daughter's scene so she came home.
You're lucky if your teenagers actually still talk to you.

As of December 14 there were 404 people in Ohio hospitalized from the flu. Business as usual. They get 37 cases of the coronavirus across the entire state and the governor closes all bars and restaurants.
The damage caused by the over reach will prove to be more than the virus itself, but keep on tuning in to the 24/7 death count, every click increases their profits at least.
Satisfying some sort of attention he was neglected of at some point in his life. I know posting the same article multiple times acting in utter panic is either something a troll does or somebody with some psychiatric problems does.

Illinois @GovPritzker is ordering all bars and restaurants to close to the public beginning Monday night until March 30th.
State officials are working with restaurant owners and food delivery services to coordinate so restaurants can keep kitchens open for food delivery.

'Take this seriously': Virginia governor bans all gatherings above 100 people
“We are banning all events over one hundred people statewide,” the Democrat said. “For people on the peninsula, we strongly urge you to avoid public gatherings of any kind. What this really means is that if you are planning an event with several people, you should cancel it, period.

Guy on plane joking about having coronavirus causes 8-hour delay
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — An American Airlines flight from Dallas to Nashville took over eight hours to take off and was delayed three times after a man reportedly joked about having coronavirus.
Flight #1076 to Nashville was supposed to arrive at 8:40 p.m. Saturday but did not finally arrive at BNA until 4:40 a.m. Sunday. The man, who has not been identified, reportedly wouldn’t lift his tray table up before the plane took off at which point he claimed he had coronavirus.
“People were freaked out because nobody knew what was going on,” said passenger Brandon Kenney, “People didn’t know if he was actually sick or if he really didn’t have coronavirus or not.”
The situation understandably was taken very seriously. HAZMAT crews and police officers boarded the plane and had the man removed.
Passengers were reportedly panicked after seeing HAZMAT on the plane. Police told a passenger we spoke with that the man ‘wasn’t all there.’
“Right after he was escorted off the plane, one of the cops came back and kind of explained the situation to the people that were sitting near him and kind of spelled it out for us and told us not to worry about it and really was just talking about how he was joking about having the coronavirus”
Panic soon turned to frustration for passengers of the plane as part of the flight crew did not want to fly after the incident. Crew issues and maintenance issues led to further delays, all totaling about eight hours. The man who created the initial havoc was arrested.

Our Hospitals are filled pretty much to the brim with flu cases, they can't handle surge of ICU cases from this as well. I am not Spike but I do understand the thought process behind what they are doing. My daughters hospital which happens to be the only level 1 trauma unit in CIncinnati would be overwhelmed by even a handful of ICU cases right now from this. They have to try and flatten out the curve and slow the progression. The ****** thing for these Governors is they can't win, if they do this right it will look like a total overreaction and people will be mad, if they blow it and don't do enough and people die and they will be crucified for that too.

I used to work in an ICU, people just don't understand hospital are ALWAYS almost full with regular pt loads. We only could ever handle 1 or 2 full time care ventilator pts, that's with a normal assortment of longterm pts. Adding a surge of critical care pts for any reason would overload any intensive care ward very shortly. Staff is static, there are no reserves to call up, non medical people have no idea.

That certainly gives a bit more perspective to us on your views, my daughter is on a floor with recovering surgery cases but they get a lot of overflow. She is worried about basically being bunkered there if it gets bad. I worry because she is also a type 1 diabetic.

I was at the grocery store earlier, no bread. Perhaps people have resorted to wiping their *** with it.

Personal stories are always so much more interesting than some idiot blathering on about statistics
CORONAVIRUS - Mistakenly first diagnosed with flu, New Orleans lawyer in critical care
Mark Frilot took medicines to treat what he thought for several days was a case of the flu, but he just couldn’t turn the corner.
He was spiking a fever nightly. At one point, his wife, Heaven, found him on the edge of their tub talking to himself, delirious.
When he went to East Jefferson General Hospital on Thursday, the staff diagnosed him with double pneumonia and the new coronavirus. And he’s since been sedated and attached to a breathing machine as doctors help him fight the potentially deadly respiratory disease that has caused a worldwide pandemic.
Heaven Frilot said Sunday she could hardly believe it. Her husband is 45, a construction litigator from Kenner who is “never, ever sick.” But now, after seeing images of huge groups partying in New Orleans on Saturday despite the state’s request for people to practice “social distancing,” she is speaking up, hoping her family’s experience can serve as a warning for those who underestimate the risks of COVID-19.
“It could happen to anybody,” Heaven Frilot said. “That’s all I’m trying to say.”
Mark Frilot first noticed his temperature was a little high March 6: about 99 degrees. Heaven Frilot jokingly called him “a wuss” when he mentioned it. It would be three more days before the state would announce its first case of COVID-19, which has inflicted its most damage on the elderly.
But, when he stayed in bed all day March 7 and still hadn’t improved the next day, he went to an urgent care clinic. There, doctors diagnosed him with the flu and prescribed him Tamiflu, the steroid prednisone, and codeine cough syrup.
Heaven Frilot said her husband immediately started taking the medications, but he got worse. When his nightly fevers wouldn’t break, though he was alternating Tylenol and Advil, he called the doctor back. He was told that sometimes happens while on Tamiflu and to continue his treatment.
When the Frilots checked Mark into the ER the next day, they were astounded when staffers informed him a flu test had come back negative. Heaven Frilot said she asked the hospital to get her husband’s paperwork faxed over from the urgent care clinic. When the documents arrived, they showed he was negative for the flu as well, despite the treatment plan he was given.
“I was outraged,” said Heaven Frilot, who declined to identify the urgent care clinic. “How does it happen?”
An infectious disease doctor then spoke with the couple and said Mark was a candidate to receive one of the COVID-19 tests that have been so difficult to get, even for patients sick with fever and other symptoms of the disease.
The hospital ran the test and, after several hours, it came back positive.
Heaven Frilot said the days since have been a blur. Stricken with both COVID-19 and double pneumonia, Mark Frilot is in critical care and isolation. He consented to being given a paralytic drug, sedated and put on a ventilator, she said.
Essentially, the machine is breathing for him so his lungs can rest, Heaven Frilot said Sunday.
Meanwhile, she has been in self-quarantine with her son. They both had run low-grade fevers by Wednesday. But, as an oil and gas consultant, she works from home. Her son had gone to school a couple of days early last week after testing negative for the flu.
She notified her son’s school — St. Martin’s Episcopal in Metairie — about his father’s diagnosis. St. Martin’s, which is closed until at least next month along with the rest of the state’s schools, sent an email to its community members informing them.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control began calling people with whom they had been in close contact.
“I feel horrible — he was misdiagnosed, and I never would’ve put anyone else in jeopardy had I known what he had,” Heaven Frilot said.

We're inching towards a black Monday tmrw, bars & restaurants have been shut down all around us in Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia. We're probably days away from that here.
We're not a big multi-national, just a couple of friends that got some start-up money from family & friends 15 years ago. We have no 'mother company' behind us to help in a vis maior situation like this. We may have to shut down our entire operation, leaving around 120 employees out of work. Very sad and mind-numbing situation, who would have thought any of this was possible even a month ago. We may be able to keep some core staff and go to delivery only, with our outsourced delivery partner providing safe, 'invisible courier' service to customers. But the numbers may not at add up cover rent, payroll and suppliers. We've dealt with so many issues over the years, including getting kicked out of a lease, severe labor shortage, tenant issues et al, but we may have finally hit a wall with covid-19.
We all feel pretty sad and helpless right now. No sign of any government bailout for the hospitality sector, the streets are empty. Kids are already home from school, my wife still is working at her tv production job, but they are also facing constant cancellation of in-studio guests, may go to skype-only interviews.
Just a strange, twilight-zone vibe right now... there is no blueprint on how anyone should be handling this. Best we can do is keep our wits about us, try to make smart decisions and salvage the business we've spent nearly two decades building from the ground up. Maybe, hopefully sometime around early, mid-summer we can try to get everything back up and running.
Stay safe, folks.
