Gay city council guy - SXSW will not be cancelled (singing Money, money, money, mon-eeeeeey). Most important thing to do is wash your hands, bow to one another or elbow bump.

SXSW could end up more like this!

DANG!

Check out the use of the word “including” in the pre-existing condition list.

That is because there is a _long_ list of pre-existing conditions that would have filled up their entire announcement. :-)

I agree with Raebie. You’ll kick yourself if heaven forbid, she gets sick. Greet her by handing her a mask. Fill her in on the infection control on the way home, and let the love flow around you both

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion

I can’t go to that site.

They have ads between every paragraph, and sometimes in the middle of sentences!

there’s a suspected at Amazon hq. So they’ll probably do the same as Microsoft. I wonder how a receptionist or AP person works from home?

What’s a flybe?

UK

Flybe has informed the government that it is running out of cash and will not survive until the end of the month.
The airline, which requested an emergency taxpayer loan of £100m in January, has been hit by the general slump in flight bookings since the coronavirus outbreak began.
Flybe has told the government that the situation is “urgent” and that it requires a decision on the loan “in the coming days”.
The owners of the business - Virgin Atlantic, Cyrus Capital and Stobart Group - have previously indicated that without state aid Flybe will be placed in administration.

I like Rush took to cigars after quitting cigarettes.

China stock markets up again, though China has no production and no money...

This is getting ridiculous.

comments??

OHIO

(Cleveland) - It has yet to be proved that hand sanitizers are effective in reducing the coronavirus.
That’s the word from Dr. Shanina Knighton, a clinical nurse scientist at Case Western Reserve University. She says whether protecting yourself from the flu or coronavirus, vigorous hand washing with soap and water is the best way to prevent infection.
