IDEA: Adopt a local restaurant to order take out from a bit more often than you usually do because this won't be over until October or later. Restaurants in Seattle & NYC are already closing from the sudden drop off in revenue

I choose Seoul Food in TkPk

The nearly 90 year old grandmother-in-law asked if we wanted to visit. Doesn't seem prudent.

Top shelves still have food on them. Only the fast and the tall will survive. https://twitter.com/Lost_In_Anarchy/status/1238721742035718144

Google can at least create http://doIhavecoronavirus.com and have it set to a static <h1><center>MAYBE</center></h1> https://x.com/WIREDBusiness/status/1238617802749116416

Innovative federal software development acquisitions policy hits snag. https://x.com/WIREDBusiness/status/1238617802749116416

Can someone in the CDC mandate a n-week nationwide quarantine? Or would it be, like, that's just your agencies' opinion, man. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1238604949774307331/photo/1

My company I work for is now WFH 5 days a week now, following our federal client's policy.

No fair when the jokes write themselves. https://x.com/drewharwell/status/1238550390305669122

If states in Europe are closing borders to all human traffic, the anti-immigrants in the Trump administration must be drooling at the chance to copy that.

That "click on the crosswalks" captcha popup up and I clicked where everyone could be expected to cross a street. Why should I vote for self driving cars to kill people just because some pro-car anti-human jerk didn't add enough crosswalks.

I just canceled all my spring break hotel reservations. (MD schools said they might/will be open during sprint break) West Virginia will have to wait.

On the plus side, when I do get there, there will be fewer West Virginians, less crowded, shorter lines for respirator rides.

This pandemic will probably kill 500,000 to 1m people by October. The last epidemic this big was opium (~1/2m). It killed so many people it shifted the rural electorate to dump Jeb Bush for <mumble, mumble>

Everyone in Fairfax County relax. This virus is from Maryland. It isn't going to learn how to drive a car to get to Virginia, & if it did, it would just be driving further to get to the same franchise restaurants it could find in MD. And if it did, with traffic, it'll take hours.

Onions gone. Just those $7/lb shallots.
Potatoes gone.
Spinach gone.
Kale... plenty, phew.
Swiss chard gone. Wait, someone knows what to do with Swiss chard? https://x.com/mistersql/status/1238288176118202368/photo/1

Do y'all remember this article in January? This why contractors are going to be reporting to work as per usual. The crack down on WFH created constraints that contractors can't get easily waived.

Crazy that shutting down all global trade is on the table at all. Stopping the boats to Europe and China would make the Great Depression looks like a bull market.

Some music to listen to while reading your twitter feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVZh4WcdC3s

I want to go see if the co-op has kale to see if Takoma Park is on-brand or not.

It is kind of like snow day morning watching the schools announce closures except it is entire countries... China... Italy... France... Belgium... White House Tours...

Maryland has community spread. https://x.com/GovLarryHogan/status/1238144007907115008

The DC area has beds for 2000 people or so. Fortunately we only have about 6 million people in the area & at 30%-60% infection rates, we can support 2000/3_600_000 cases needing hospitalization, ( 0.05%).

Actually they'll need respirators not beds.

Which mmo are we moving meetings to? 2nd life seems dated. Entropia? Self hosted Halo servers? Salem? Eve Online? Zoom and WebEx don't even have crafting.

This model show it spreading like cans of paint dumped in downtown areas of large cities. It should look more like those graphs of airplanes and cars moving thru the highways. https://x.com/chriswilsondc/status/1238165348463054849

Gruesome- in Italy people are dying at home and there is no one to dispose of the bodies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/03/12/coronavirus-bodies-italy-quarantine/

Little did I know back in 2016 that in 3 years the NBA would become our surrogate public health authority to make the hard calls.

I was going to make a joke about the administration building a wall across Hawaii to protect us from Corona, but the real policies are funnier jokes than I can make.

White House cancelled White House tours. I think their response is done.

Metro rail ridership is like weekend levels
Yesterday, couldn't even sit down.

They're keeping the schools open...the kids will be ok, n% of the teachers will die though.
