    My employer sent out a mass email more or less saying that if this situation gets bad enough, travel plans are cancelled and we’ll all be working remotely.
    We’ve already banned travel for employees and visiting parties from about a dozen countries and instituted mandatory 14 day incubation/isolation periods from anyone that’s been to a list of about 30 countries.

    Lots of conferences are being canceled.

      Luckily Corona doesn’t flow on the streets of Dublin on St Patrick’s Day so I should be fine.

        Makes you wonder if those conferences were ever really worthwhile.

              No joke but the best part of the amount of information we get now vs even just 100 years ago is that a new legit scary disease becomes a big worldwide deal at just 3k deaths. More people will die from this, but it would have been far worse years ago.

                It would have been another 6 months before people even figured out wtf was going on.

                  25 gallons of gas for generator
                  3 tanks propane
                  50 lbs of rice
                  18 lbs of pasta
                  Finished pantry modifications
                  Mowed the lawn for the first time this year
                  Did laundry
                  Made beds
                  Cooked 6 meals

                    They claim that the Spanish Flu actually originated in China as well.

                          How's Costa Rica? Have wanted to go for years since this hot chick I knew in college went there.

                              Costa Rica is awesome. Jungles, mountains, and beaches. Beautiful country.

                                Remember the end of the remake Rise of Planet of the Apes? Where we see that one guy get on an airplane and then see all the people he infected, and then they infect?

                                That's how I feel right now. And I really don't care.
