Same. Thankfully the one KY'ian I know is recovering well, but said it was miserable.

I saw this too and wonder how it correlates to the number of tests still in process, I think that's a key missing piece of info. There's an Enquirer article today about how local folks are being tested but the tests are sent to private labs (not state) and it's taking a long time (4 days and counting) to get the results.

Any word from Diocese of Covington? What's taking so long for any sort of school related news... thanks in advance to any "insider" who may know....

Yeah, I totally get that. My husband said the same thing. But there was a certain “feel” in the air.

On a side note.... in NKY, both the Hebron & Union Kroger were crazy busy last night. I guess the school closing announcement was the trigger. Panic buying gives us some sense of control I guess.

I enjoyed this from Elizabeth Gilbert. It's part of a longer post that she wrote this afternoon. "Let me a show a strong measure of mercy to the people across the world who are running institutions, schools, governments, and companies right now. Those people are faced with the supremely unenviable task of trying to figure out how to respond to this crisis responsibly. There is no playbook. They will make mistakes. They will overreact; they will under react. They are human beings in an impossible dilemma. I would not wish to be the person faced with such massive, impactful decisions right now. Let me show compassion to them."

Among the growing cancellations I've heard about are the prohibiting of visitors from nursing homes. I agree with this for sure. But wow, how sad. This is what most elderly live for... Sorry to be the ray of sunshine this morning. lol.

It will be 1 robot before we know it.

Honestly I’ve become weirdly panicky about it the last 24 hours, after watching Italy. I kindof had to do breathing exercises on the way to work this morning, not joking lol. I just don’t remember the swine flu/H1N1 and SARS being anything like COVID 19. Of course I’m older now so maybe I’m just more cranky and paranoid. At any rate, who cares about sanitizer, I’m gonna stockpile coffee and beer and buzz my way through any quarantine... lol.

:cry:

Sooo sad!! RIP to a great guy and NBA legend!

Wow. Prayers to his family and friends, sooo sad. Would appreciate if someone can post the obit when published. I would love to read about his career/projects.

Wake up early bc I can’t sleep. Do random chores such as laundry to kill time. Log on to work. Bug my Europe work contacts for stuff I'll need later today, before they go home. Change my NCAA pics for the 1,000 time. Go to work, then come home and watch basketball.

Final.

Watch the snow fall and cook-up some of the provisions we got yesterday at Kroger (lol). Will likely venture out at some point today, anyway.... I love being home but I’m sure I’ll want a change of scenery.
