COVID-19

Passed by the docked cruise ship in Oakland today. I spent the weekend in Vegas and flew out of the Oakland Airport. Both the Oakland and Vegas airports were DEAD. Also, the casinos were EMPTY. I also avoided the buffets.

I have a trip planned to Iceland next month. It's still on at this point. Fortunately, Icelandic Air is waiving change fees between now and March 31st, so we'll see what happens. Plus, I don't book anything (hotels, excursions, etc.) until last minute, so the only thing I have going right now is the flight.

What does everyone think about all this? Are you in a panic yet? Has anyone's job told them to not come in or to work from home?

My parents have stocked up on frozen food (in case they're quarantined) and have bought more hand sanitizer than they've ever owned in their lives. Meanwhile, I'm riding the NYC subway in and out of work and going about my daily routine. Not sure what the right answer is here, but I'm basically just washing my hands more frequently and hoping for the best.

I work with a bunch of doctors, and everyone is pretty level-headed about the whole thing. Watching the situation, yes, but not freaking out. It's nice.

I'm washing my hands more and using hand sanitizer when I'm out shopping for essentials. I rarely used hand sanitizer before. I'm not stocking up on anything.

I'm just trying to go about my life as normal. I'm also in the process of moving, so I've got bigger fish to fry.
