Things are starting to get serious with this CoronaVirus.
Today the Governor shut down all bars and restaurants for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, they will reassess. Restaurants with delivery or drive up windows can still operate. Pharmacies and Grocery stores are open as well but they may be limiting the number of people in the place at any one time.
Nothing like this has happened since the Spanish Flu epidemic back in 1918. There's a column in the paper where they look back at the news 100 years ago. There was lots of stuff about the flu and how they closed down all kinds of gathering and events.
Social media and round the clock news cycles haven't helped. It seems like they feed the panic. I wish they would ban the Interweb. Of course, that would shut down this ever so interesting blog. I'd have to write this on paper...with a pen...or one of those pencil thingys.
People are hoarding. Toilet paper is never in stock. Now the stores are out of pasta, pasta sauce, and canned goods.
So far, I still have a job. I went in today for a few hours even though I'm supposed to be off on Mondays. We have a lot of work and I'm falling behind on some of it.
