Governor Jay (“a snake”) Inslee just decreed:

All restaurants and bars to close immediately. Restaurants can serve take-out and delivery only. No gatherings over 50 people. Any gathering of less than 50 people must maintain physical separation between people. Stores can remain open but must limit the number of inside. (Kroger family stores (Fred Meyer, QFC) have also said that most of their 24-hour locations will close overnight so staff can clean.)

We are hunkering.

Just wondering how the aeroplane factory is going to keep going.

With huge subsidies and a federal bailout, would be my guess.

Waiting for the 10 am presser by Oregon’s governor to see if we are following suit.

This is serious. (I know you know that already.)

We were planning to hold a juggling festival Memorial Day weekend. The venue has just announced that it is closed for a couple weeks. We're trying to decide whether there is any chance it will happen.

Sadly, I think it won't, and if it did, I wouldn't be going. Juggling is a highly interactive activity. Years ago, I caught a cold from a young woman in London just by passing clubs with her for ten minutes.
