Starting to wonder how this will affect my Rosemary Beach trip the first week of June. Will the temporary school closure cause the school year to push into June? Will domestic air travel be impacted? If so, I suppose we could drive, but will it be prudent to be around crowds in a beach community?
A first-world problem, I know. But still a problem.

Didn't I read that some scientists think there's a chance this causes long-term lung damage?
That's only for people who also worked in an asbestos factory.

I understand that may sound cavalier to some.
I want to stay in, wife wants to go, kids want to go. So we're going to go, keep our distance, and keep it short. I've told her this can't become a regular thing.
That's fair. I'm also looking through the lens of a guy who's already caught and recovered from a wicked virus, CV or otherwise, and who's basically been under house arrest since Friday morning with no kids or other company. I'm starved for social interaction. So I might not be the best counselor on this particular matter right now.

What does everyone think about small gatherings? Some friends invited us to dinner tonight... Combined, the 2 families would have fewer than 10, and they assure us they've all been indoors since Friday. Other friends invited my son over. I haven't seen any guidance about really small gatherings.

If you're worried about the price, just invite a bunch of friends over for it and split the cost. Lots of people sitting close together in your house, sharing food and drink together, what could possibly go wrong?
Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, “When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?”

I know what this board thinks of Ohio and our people. But I hope you guys are willing to put that aside and follow DeWine's lead.
What -- other than the overarching opinion of the American public -- leads you to believe that this message board has a low opinion of Ohio?

Because if it rains as expected today/Sunday, it’s gonna be packed.Thinkery is closed thru 3/22.
I'll be surprised if Thinkery re-opens before May.

Several local hospitals have cancelled all elective procedures early this week already.
So you're saying I might have to reschedule my penis-reduction surgery?

Is there maybe an implied social duty to get tested? You know for data science and shit.
I think the response from ChiTown and others in the medical community is that if you aren't in a risk group and aren't showing significant symptoms that you can't control with OTC meds, don't tax doctors' offices with testing just for data's sake, so all those most vulnerable and in most need can get tested.

Has aggy put the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship banner up yet? Nobody else has claimed it.
Prove to me that they lost in the NCAA championship game.

It is crazy and frustrating to me, that as a physician, there is nobody in en emergency response role in the medical community, available to help you with this. And that you are having to ask on a college football message board.
How dare you besmirch The Surly.

This is the first Austin brewery/restaurant/pub I've seen that has decided to temporarily shutter
If you want to support some of our local breweries during this time, there's also this
I think we'll see more of that. With a significant decline in patrons, especially with the loss of SXSW, a lot of restaurants may have no choice but to cut costs by temporarily reducing salaries and other overhead just to survive.

No. And she will for sure next year. I got one. As did older daughter.
Makes me feel better. For you, sort of. Sucks for your you kid, but at least its not CV.
Sort of good news for me, as I got a flu shot, and part of me is worried that whatever I had was a strain of the flu different than this year's vaccine, and I'll get double fucked with the actual coronavirus in the next couple of weeks. I'd feel worse about that possibility if reports of others in the Austin community getting sick in recent weeks turned out to be the flu, and we're all about to whacked again.

If it follows the other countries it would be everything except grocery, medical, and pharmacy.
Got it. I see that announcement as quadrupling the HEB clusterfucks over the next couple days. Which sucks for me since I'm in post-symptom quarantine and at some point I'm going to need essentials, like beer.

Prepare yourselves. National lockdown coming soon.
So what would be the scope of this national shutdown? Just schools and gatherings of a certain number? Or everything -- restaurants, grocery stores, etc.? The article didn't indicate.
