Are you talking Japan, or the other countries?  Because Japan had this thing even before South Korea via the cruise ship.

All of them. Do you think Japan wants people from infected countries traveling to their lands? That's like inviting an AIDS victim to your Saturday night gang bang.

As I said, that's why I think they will have a quarantine period for all athletes.  Then again, they all do go to the athletes village anyways.  So it's like it's own quarantine.  I'm sure on top of the quarantine, one of the entry documents that will be required is a negative test for the virus done in the last few weeks before traveling.

Well, I would say that's at least 6 feet.

I think MGM and Harrah's should be investigated for insider trading with China.  Man, them selling when they did seems like a stroke of genius.

pretty sure school is going to end up getting cancelled for the rest of the year up here.  inslee is doing a tv presser in a couple hours here, and i think there will be some more changes.

going a little stir crazy, but nobody wants to hang out.  i live alone, so vodka and rum have been pretty good friends to me, but i've resolved to only drink on fridays from now on.

I’m not 100% sure if alcohol kills the corona virus but I’m willing to join you in testing that theory.

It's Friday somewhere in the world.

Just remember.  Coronavirus before liquor, never sicker.  Liquor than Coronavirus, never fear.

you're not going to do online learning? we're on spring break right now but will start online teaching next monday. i'm trying to learn how to use google classroom and bigbluebutton. i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed even after watching a couple of "how to" videos.

[cez]

we're not set up for online learning.  issuing students chromebooks and asking teachers to use google classroom is not online learning, and any entity that says so is moronic.  creating successful online learning tools is a different animal from in-person instruciton, and requires a different type of pedagogy and instructional design than what most teachers are used to.  some states have started doing it in certain districts.  i'm thinking this will accelerate the trend to create and implement legitimate online learning in a lot of states, though.   i actually look forward to it.  our 9th and 10th grade textbooks actually have some amazing online tools that i'd love to develop into online learning units.

We've managed to work out a way to salvage the new show Listen To Your Heart without having an office to work out of and keep at least some of the staff employed. I'm getting a business internet connection for Gigabite speeds installed at home so I can download show media to work with and then upload a completed show for approval. This is going to be far faster than USB-3 rates so I can actually stream from a server if we can get one setup for online media. I could never have to go in to the office again if this works. 

The only logjam is none of the producers are setup with these transfer rate speeds, it is not available in all locations and definitely not at any of our assists apartments that have become off site workstations. We are setting up a third party for a server, which should run at Gig speeds so at least I can zero time access media at full rez which would eliminate a runner bringing a hardrive over which of course risks being contaminated. Who would thought a virus on a portable drive would be the death of the user and not the system?

[gotbeer]

Didn't think they would do it.  But Japan has postponed the Olympics for a year.  

I wonder if the 2020 Japan Olympics gear will be collectible now?

Wow. Never thought I'd see this happen. 

[Blarg]

It makes more sense than either cancelling the event or potentially causing another outbreak by continuing on schedule. Pushing it one year down allows Japan to recoup some of the lost revenue from hosting the event.

So...every day is Friday now?  I've always said you gotta drink to keep the virus at bay...didn't know it would come to fruition.

The lack of a crowd or the dead body?

[Blarg]

Yes but the weird thing is the usual Lad Vegas crowd would have just stepped over the corpse without thinking twice. Maybe even stopped for selfie.

I hesitate to believe such speeds are possible in this country. What format are they recording to?

Also gigabit Ethernet is slower than USB 3, unless you have a 10GB Ethernet home network.

Of course I suppose anything is possible with enough money and will power, lol.
