Anyone’s work being affected by coronavirus?

We were at the library here today when they announced they would be closing at the end of today through April 16. It was very unexpected, with no prior notice.

I went yesterday and only saw a sign that all programs were cancelled. But the place was packed with patrons.

I got an email yesterday from ours stating that all programs were cancelled, but they would still be open for people to check out books/videos, etc.

Our libraries in PDX closed last week. We were told not to return books we have until further notice. No late fees of course..

We got one day notice our library was closing so we checked out a bunch of books for us and mom.

Our library system is closed for at least a month, seeing how we're a veritable Petri dish up here.

Ebooks are still available, natch, and I have a Kindle full of reads. All good here.

Our movie theatres and restaurants just closed. You supposedly can still get take out at the restaurants, but not sure how long that can last.

SM, I didn't realize you are over in PDX...I'm over in the Couve.

My son just got furloughed from the restaurant he works for. They're closed until April 3 (at least). Such a bummer. My son's had a tough year. This restaurant just got taken over with new management, and so I feel bad for the new owner, who bought the place on a shoestring, has a small kid, and is probably going to really be hurting as a result of this, too.

Catherine, it’s so hard for the workers that are affected. My kids are in the same situation. Some casinos have closed and more will probably too. Mine have a rough 2 years with my DIL having a baseball sized brain tumor 2 years ago. It hurt them financially between medical bills and not being able to work for a long time. They may have to move in with us.

Terry, glad they have that option.
Catherine, my son in restaurant work says they are doing a lot of takeout for now but he is prepared to have them close; he is in same boat. So sorry for all of the restaurant workers.
