    I just wanna check up on y'all to make sure everyone here is safe and well because of, you know, that virus going around...

    I'm personally fine (as far as I know/feel), but my state has reported many cases of the virus so far. Got to the point today that my school got called off for a minimum of two weeks

    Hope everyone is okay

    Same here, our spring break got extended by 2 weeks, we are not allowed to have large-scale gathering in our state now, so most other activities are cancelled as well.

    I got sick last Thursday. I had a bad time on the weekend due to the panic buying as there were no tissues and no toilet paper to buy due to panic buying and I had to use handkerchiefs and rags and it was a mess...

    but I’m all good now so I’m guessing I didn’t have coronavirus (had a really runny nose which is a rare symptom for the virus anyways) yay

    Non-essential gatherings of over 500 people are banned as of this upcoming Monday for me.

    My school was also shut down for three weeks (2 including spring break) but we still have to do online classes. :/
    I guess that's what happens when we're the only school in the nation for every teacher to be google certified.
    @Trrevor I've heard there are 3 cases in Michigan

    We're quite lucky here so far, only 5 people confirmed in the whole country, with all possible contact traced back. So there hasn't really been much disruption, so we're still going to lectures and stuff. Honestly, it seems so crazy that some countries are just shutting down entirely, when we're like, 'eh, maybe we'll close the border at some point, idk'. But the NZ govt has handled it pretty well so far, they haven't overreacted, but they also haven't been caught off guard or anything either.

    Wash your hands. If you're sick stay away from other people, especially the elderly. Ages 60 and higher are the ones who have the greatest chance of something bad happening.

    I have some upper respiratory ick from allergies and asthma. My doctor won't even let me come into the office because I have a compromised immune system.

    Two confirmed cases have been around my area, as I thought I was safe due to my town is really unpopulated. Turns out I was wrong, and luckily my shops haven't been short on stock, however, shops around outside my town have.
