Watching a soccer game that is about to start that is being played behind closed doors. The teams are walking out, and the stadium is still firing off fireworks. Are the fireworks about to expire? Why shoot them off if there are no fans there?

My son had a trip planned to come see the wife and I. He called today and said it might not be such a good idea since he's been working in Portland and other areas with a lot of contact with people. We agreed. Told him to wait til this blows over.

They are. People are losing their shit. Maybe literally considering how much TP they seem to think they need.

I was at Menards picking up some bricks and other whatnot. Wife called and asked me to get some tp. I told her I just brought home one of those 125 roll megapacks from Sam's last week. She said, well just in case.

We had gotten some at Costco last week, just out of the normal course of needing it. Also got a Costco pack of paper towels, so that's our back up, rough as it might be for the ol' pooper. Keeping an eye on which tree leaves look softer, should it come to that.

I can't remember if I posted it here or not because so many text, email threads, etc about the topic but my kids district cancelled for tomorrow to train K-12 teachers up on distance learning. By Monday I'd be shocked if most public school districts weren't cancelled.

I just don't know what they're going to do in Detroit. Keep going I guess.

I was surprised when we didn't get the school cancellation call this morning.

They've cancelled pretty much everything related to schools around here, except for school itself. I'm guessing that they want to make it to the weekend and then schools will close starting Monday.

Basswood leaves. They're big too, well maybe not this time of year, but if it gets down to it there will probably be plenty of leaves on the trees by then.

Brazil's president's press secretary has tested positive. He (the press secretary) was with Trump at Mar a lago this past weekend, along with the Brazilian president, who has now been tested (but I don't think the results are in).

Miami's mayor, who also met the Brazilian entourage during their US visit, has self-quarantined himself. Surely others that met this guy have to, as well?

Again, I know no one cares about soccer, but the manager one one of the most famous clubs in the world, Arsenal in England, has tested positive.

This news came literally an hour after the league made the shocking and absurd announcement, unlike seemingly every other major sports league in the world, to play games this weekend...WITH FANS.

Surely the season has to be cancelled and voided. They're meeting tomorrow morning to discuss it.

But man, the UK is screwing the pooch on this, too. Not just with regard to this, but major complaints about their handling in general, as is the case here. And somehow the European travel ban doesn't include them?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-03-12, 19:07

Washtenaw County schools to close at least through April 6th. Expect others to follow shortly.

Michigan has 3rd confirmed case. I wonder if it was the MSU student. I didn't see any specific info yet.

Sister in NoCal Silicon Valley said they have 200 confirmed cases in her county. Her 1.5 to 2 hr drive to San Francisco took 55 minutes and no slowdowns yesterday. Described it as something out of a movie.

Glad they’re being sensible.

I’m pretty impressed with companies coming together to make these changes, when it’s out of the blue. I do hope this is short lived, and that businesses don’t suffer for long. But I have my doubts.
