When I saw this mentioned the first time on Twitter, people were responding to it like it was suggesting they sing the actual verse lyrics…silly people who don't know what a chorus is in a song, I guess.

They obviously don't sing it like we do with "Roll Tide Roll" after the first and third lines!

The University of Minnesota cancelled graduation. Are there any other schools out there that have announced this?

Both of my sons' schools are closed. The middle school at which I teach is, but starting next week we'll have online instruction. Both colleges are closed, and transitioning to online classes (I teach online already for one.) I work at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, and they are closed.

My younger daughter is in San Francisco, and lost her job yesterday.

Oh, no -- where? I'm here in the Bay Area and we have been anticipating this, but I hadn't heard of any layoffs yet. This is an expensive place to be without income

My kids are out of school indefinitely. They’ve said Georgia schools might open up after spring break in April, but I’m not counting on it. My kids are doing digital learning. I’m grateful for their teachers who are trying to keep the school year moving along, but my kids are in elementary school so they’re not self-sufficient like a high schooler or college student. My kids require a great deal of help from me in navigating the digital platforms and completing their lessons. I’m trying to do this while also fulfilling my own job requirements from home. It has not been easy, and it comes with a great deal of anxiety about the future. I am in the younger demographic, so my concern at this time isn’t about catching the virus, but more so about the economic losses.

This is a crazy time. I do hope that with the prevalence of asymptomatic cases (that are more than likely unreported) that we’ll reach herd immunity soon.

Oh no! We are trying to buy food from locally owned businesses a couple of times a week since we don't want them all to close in this difficult time. I'm in Oakland so if she needs help with anything locally, don't hesitate to PM me!
