Normal is gonna take awhile. Folks need to start mentally preparing for no pool season this year. And, looking ahead to the fall.....I'm a penn st season ticket holder for football....I dont know htf they're going to have gatherings w 100k+ people. And, I can assure you that no CFB would be crippling for a lot of college towns. Idk what the solution is unless the season is simply delayed til later in the fall or held in the spring of '21, but that's a logistical nightmare. No CFB would also be crippling to lots of lower level scholarship sports that are funded by football and basketball revenue. The impacts are wide reaching and in a lot of not so obvious ways.

I thought all places were allowed to include alcohol in their carry out sales?

I'd be shocked if transmission from cook's make up any significant portion of the new cases at this time.

The local Italian place up the street from me already had curbside pickup before this hit and they're now just as busy as before. I ordered from there last friday and the line of cars when I picked up was 10 deep with a steady stream behind me.

Re: teachers....I would keep in mind that many of them are in the same boat as us. I'm home w my daughter working, on 4-6 conference calls a day, helping her w work, etc. My daughter's teacher is juggling her class of 10+ kids and her own 2 kids that are very young. Its hella not easy no matter what side of the fence youre on. None of this is ideal for any of us.

Only 97k people passed thru TSA yesterday. That's crazy.

Sweet shelf!

Correct....no chance schools are reopening this academic year. It's just not official yet.

Back when this first got going in MD, there were positive cases in MoCo and PG counties from ppl returning from overseas/cruises. Would love to see those cases traced to understand how many cases are linked. Those 2 counties now have 1293 cases and over 20 deaths.

Up 11 deaths already today in MD.

If it's not cool and cloudy, it's cool with a gale blowing. Just want a stretch of 65-75 and sun. I mean, w all of this craziness going on right now we at least deserve some nice weather.

That's def a good one. We've come a long way in the last 10 years...even 5 really...with teleworking. This is just a small sample size, but if you can maintain your IT support you're good.

Let's make some use of this thread without getting into politics.....resulting from covid-19, what's the next industry boon in this country? Many options though it seems like we've hit on some after other events like 9/11.

Yesterday evening was glorious. Let's get more of that today.

Soooo close.....

Looking likely that some of us will break out. Would love to get out of the house in the yard or a bike ride before sunset.

66 positive with 11 hospitalized.

Horrifying info coming out about a covid outbreak in mt airy at a senior facility.

A rational decision. Closing for the remainder of the year was not needed at this time.

These were natural next steps to take and make sense. As you read the list, you'll see that many, many business types are included in the list of essential. It's too soon to shut down schools for the remainder of the academic year given the 2.5 months remaining on the schedule. That said, I imagine a further delay will be announced after the board mtg tmrw.

Neighborhood walk this afternoon.

Oh and while everyone is home, do the census. When you're done, you may be like.....wait, that was it!?!?

Folks must realize the steps in place are being done to ensure we dont turn into the next Italy. Further, by doing this, we're able to keep essential businesses open. Keep the pipeline of goods flowing. Ya know, the stuff we absolutely need. No doubt the impact on businesses will be massive.

Midway in chicago temp shutdown bc air traffic controllers tested positive.

Before midnight or before 9pm?
