UCSB just announced online classes, and no-fan sports for the foreseeable future.
DD was supposed to student teach in Spain. Was going to leave tomorrow. In a gut wrenching decision she decided to stay in the U.S.
The cases there had been slowly increasing but it really took off within the past few days. Just tonight they closed all the schools in Madrid, she was supposed to be 50 or so miles from there so she very well would not have been able to student teach.
I have been following this pretty closely. I’m afraid its going to take off here too. I personally think there are a lot of undiagnosed cases out there.
It was a tough call- she and and one of her close friends who is already in Spain (got there in January) were going to travel and hostel their way through Switzerland and Italy so they were going to make the most of their free time.Westwind! Smart move and so glad to hear your DD didn't go. Obviously young and healthy but the thought of a DD over there with it getting worse, maybe not to get home, etc. etc. was a smart move. Who knows will this will go. Nobody knows and that is the problem IMHO. We just don't know so don't risk it. Happy to hear the decision yall made and hope she can do it again in a less uncertain time.
I’m going to guess that the recent ramp up is heavily due to test kits become available. Prior to widespread testing, only the more serious cases were diagnosed. I expect when the testing becomes more thorough, the case numbers will skyrocket, and the mortality rate will drop considerably to fall in line with the numbers from South Korea.
It is also believed that warmer weather will slow the spread of the virus down considerably. Summer is coming up fast. I think (hope) there will be a lot of people out there that feel pretty silly that they can’t fit their car in the garage because they freaked out and bought Costco out of toilet paper.
When infants and 80 year olds start playing competitive Fastpitch and the concern is actually relevant.At what point do public health concerns become more important than softball games to be considered not ridiculous?
Infants and 80 YO do attend softball games though..When infants and 80 year olds start playing competitive Fastpitch and the concern is actually relevant.
