So anyway, the USA has a Chinese disease named after a Mexican beer. Not really, but that's what it sounds like. We've been hearing about it for weeks, if not months now, and last Monday night (not even a full week ago from my typing right now as it's only 9:30pm) during the 11pm news, it was announced that Ohio State was going to online classes for two weeks after spring break and no events until the end of April.
Then on Thursday they cancelled March Madness, the NBA, MLS, MLB, NHL have all stopped their seasons. Then Thursday evening it was announced that Ohio State would not be returning for the rest of the semester, online only and students in the residence halls would have to move out by the following Sunday. Events of more than 100 people were cancelled, so no church, sporting events, Ohio Beef Expo or St. Patrick's Day parades.
Then yesterday all bars and restaurants were closed because people don't know how to follow rules about no groups over 100 people. Today it was announced that all gyms, rec centers, bowling alleys, etc. were to be closed. A lot of stores are already closing - apple, Abercrombie, etc. Tonight PA announced that all non-essential stores will be closing. I'm sure that's next for Ohio. It's strange to think of everything that has changed in the last week. I saw a tweet tonight that said "I didn't plan on giving up this much for Lent." haha. So true.
So for now I'm working from home. I've got my desk set up on my dining room table. Tomorrow I need to be a little more productive than I was today. I also need to make a good list of things to do in the evenings so I'm not tempted to go anywhere, like Target. I joined a "Covid-19 Clutter" group on facebook for inspiration on what to do. Hopefully tomorrow I'll start tackling the closets so I can switch over my clothes from winter to spring. However, it will likely be August before I see anyone in person again. ha.
And now for some of my favorite tweets or memes of the week:
Wash your hands.
