  1. I think most halfway decent unis will move what they can to online platforms in the next week. My department is freaking out over this. We now have to report personal travel so they can decide if we go into quarantine upon return. They want all events canceled and as much work from home as possible.
  2. My employer is trying to come up with a plan of action for continuing teaching and research efforts if we need to stay home. This is going to mess up research timelines if you're relying on human data; I really don't see how it's going to work out well.
  3. We're being told to avoid non essential domestic travel. Pac12 is also evaluating what they're going to do with student athlete travel so we might except some upheaval in march madness.
  4. So how long were these Houstonians roaming free after returning from Egypt? There's so many new cases it's hard to keep up.
  5. Delta won't budge. Shouldn't stop you from trying but they will not want to cancel.
  6. How many cases so far in the Houston area? Are they fucked or all of them travel related?
  7. They're all repatriated cruise folks though right? There's gotta be some out in the wild, besides the one who went to the mall.
  8. I can't believe a state as populous as Texas is sitting at zero right now.
  9. I've been working with a physician who had several US conferences coming up that have been canceled. Husband was supposed to attend a conference in LA in a couple weeks which was also canceled. Anyone traveling soon will probably have the luxury of a pretty empty plane.
  10. They have one potential person who works at Rice. They're sending the swabs to Houston health department and being shipped to the CDC. So, they're not really handling it, at least in Harris county. How many cases in Chicago now? 3,4? This may be out of control there as well.
  11. What will this do to the obese population? I have been wondering for weeks if my lazy af co-worker is doomed.
  12. Odd they are going through the trouble of shipping a patient to Utah - wonder where they are from. I wonder if they're from Idaho. Real fly over state, probably less than optimal medical care.
  13. I'm starting to get correspondence on this from the uni I work for. Nothing outright alarming, but I've worked for universities long enough to know that if they're sending emails, somebody is concerned.
  14. Japan has a population problem as it is. They should have taken it more seriously from the get go.
  15. I'm surprised to hear this. I got attacked in a discord earlier for saying I found it worrying. People by and large still don't seemed phased. Maybe the CDC announcement has turned the light bulbs on for some.
  16. India claims to not have any active cases. Seems impossible but who knows.
  17. Patrick Mahomes creeps me out.
  18. I feel like most of Florida is like this. I guess if there's a sea breeze it's not so bad but it can be unbearably hot. The further south you get, the worse it's gonna be.
  19. Snow gets old quick. I started hating it's existence by the third snowfall. Shit sucks. It gets gnarly quickly, the shoveling, the salt wear on your car, the danger in driving in it, the dry ass air. I've never been to Charleston but I think these towns are close to one another. Savannah is great but it's a small town. Maybe live in one and visit the other on occasion.
