So far we're cancelled through the end of the month, but it will be longer. The school district has no cases and so far, only one positive test in the county at CU. But that will all change soon, I bet.

I'm going to go get a fancy coffee. Friday the 13th is the only rationale I need.

CDPHE is far more on top of this than any other state agency I've seen throughout the nation. As of last night, we've performed 1/4 of the tests so far, country-wide. Having the only drive through test facility was brilliant, and having a Popeye's drive through in the same line would have been the cherry on top.

Remember the patient who works for a major bike parts distributor?? She came in today with some gifts. I got a new pair of Look X-Track pedals that will work great on my CX bike. She also gave me a "bikeshield" invisible film frame protector which will go on the Roubaix, I reckon.

The cold has come back with a vengeance, self-quarantining at home.

Our living situation is remote. Out at the edge of a town of 10,000, mostly peasants. 25 km out from the city, who's international airport has only two gates.
Coming here, in these times, is like reading Tom Clancy. Or Stephen King.
I can hear birds singing and nothing else, now, at this time of day. And the wind. A very different world than the one I'm reading about. Sigh
No inkling of panic, or even knowledge that there might be reason for panic
I wish you all well in the coming weeks and months.

Went to Target for my usual grocery shopping needs. It was a madhouse. Lots of bare shelves and, worse, lots of people unaccustomed to grocery shopping were grocery shopping. People didn't know where they were going, making erratic moves, couldn't hold their ******g line - I imagine that my frustration was somewhat similar to how a CAT3 would feel at a charity ride.

Understood, which is why I think that things like closing schools for an entire state for a month is a bit much. It's going to kick up again. And again. And again. Are they going to close down schools for a month each time? Are parents going to beg out of work for a month each time? Educate, employ best practices, make sensible decisions on low-hanging fruit like certain extracurriculars, but shutting down education and care for months at a time is a whole 'nother strain.
