Just got a questionnaire from my company about equipment and VPN access. Guessing the government is finally planning for closings.

lower merion/wilson game was moved to milton hershey yesterday. now they just decided they don't want them to play there. so that game is without a location six hours from tip. sort of hoping it turns into that time on friday night lights where they just played on some empty field. plenty of outdoor courts to hoop on.

Completely agree with that last part. Was at a Wawa this morning and the cashier is a senior citizen. She had plastic gloves on to accept people's money, and I thought a similar thing. Like it is our responsibility to make sure I am doing my best to make sure I can't get her sick. She has earned the right not to die by some shitty ass virus.
I have a concert at the Met on Saturday (sold out, GA) and I don't know what to do. Obviously the risk of any one event being an issue is low, but these are the kinds of things that should be limited to 'flatten the curve' [i am a public health expert now].

I'm going to 3 shows in Philly over the next 3 days. Some of those crowds are especially dirty types. Am I die?

Saw that Haverford/Bryn Mawr colleges are moving to on-line instruction and telling students not to return from Spring Break. Sort of surprised it took so long, as they're located in Montco.

I'd think the wookflu antibodies may be strong enough.

To sort of amplify Dude's point--by focusing on "only the elderly die" is missing the point in at least two ways. First, being seriously ill is a seriously bad outcome. Second, if medical care is overwhelmed, the lack of treatment will mean seriously ill people who might recover had they received optimal care die instead.
