Conavirus......

A health care worker in placerville has it which is only a few hours away. My sister in Chicago said the home show was canceled which meant that they lost the revenue from 47000 hotel rooms plus food, etc.

I could walk to the nursing home in Kirkland, probably. If I could walk.
The fire station is even closer, a couple of miles.

We have 6 cases now in my area and for the first time I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about going to the store for some stuff I forgot. I'm also bummed because I'd found a great Mexican restaurant nearby and now I'm hesitant to eat out.

We are going to a big event with dinner for 300 that’s already paid for plus my husband will be setting up the event with others.

The last two cases in the Chicago area are in the next town over.

Does the Mexican place deliver?

I think I'll invest in a beekeeper's outfit. Or hazmat gear.
I'm only half-kidding.

And coworkers coming in sick to work again. It's a CULTURE (everywhere I ever worked), people are sick, people come in anyway (and I've taken sick sick days but so many don't, and no I have never gotten in trouble for that but never had to take sick days when on contract though). A few pathetic measly sick days won't change it, it's a culture. On the other hand work is "urgent" and I need help from coworker so. Laptops to work at home? Nah too much $, never gonna happen. True supposedly no cases reported here, but I'm not so sure about that ... but it's not a hot spot yet ...

They'd probably be out of them, Jane....you can't buy hand sanitizer anywhere in Clark County today.

Be well Jane!

I agree. America's culture of work uber alles is toxic, evil, and both soul and people destroying. One perk if the coronavirus does kick America's rear end? Potentially a reset of society including less emphasis upon work. This is one reason I love YMOYL.....the passages about work being strictly about money and the very sane advice to take no identity whatsover from what you do for money. I can't change this unacceptable culture in America surrounding work.....but I can minimize how much I participate in it/buy into it. Rob
