NCAA tourney will be played without fans in attendance.
NYC St. Patrick’s day parade has been postponed.

It’s not going to get back to normal around here anytime soon.

Since last week, I’ve been pushing at work for my group to prepare for possibly working at home. We’re a software group, and have moved our development offline. I’ve been suggesting exploring something like github so we can do development. Our company’s response right now is to ban all unnecessary travel and to have us register a phone number and email to receive emergency updates. I keep telling them we don’t want to be in a position where the company says “You have to leave by the end of the day. If you have the ability to work from home, you can do so, otherwise it’ll be vacation.”

But everyone else really is in that mode of “it really isn’t that bad.” The conservative guy I argue with is having trouble reconciling what he’s hearing - especially after I sent him the NCAA notice - with what Fox is telling him. I’m off tomorrow and Friday, so I don’t know what he’ll think about that. And things could change drastically by Monday.
