Wait, so I guess animals can get the virus? News articles says the first dog to test positive has died, and a second dog tests positive.

Looks like I'll have to tell our dogs to stay home from work.

I dont know, but I hope were not wasting a lot of time and research on pets?  Are there test kits at the Vet office?

Yougner kid got an email that all AP Exams will be online - Is it wrong that since my odler son is home from college and got a 5 on his AP Calculus exam to let him take it for him? I mean that does save some money if you dont have to take it in college?

It looks like they can get it, but can't transmit it to humans. And aren't showing any symptoms yet. But it's only a matter of time.

Does the younger one need to take cal 2+? If not, I suppose it wouldn't be any different from my sister writing some of my English papers lol

Well I just got back from the weirdest grocery shopping trip I've been on before. The store was still out of most things, like they have been all week. I ended up just getting a bunch of random food while I still could. I'll be heading there tomorrow morning because talking with one of the clerks they said they'll be getting a shipment of meat in. But he also said to make sure you get here as soon as the doors open, because there's already lines forming.

Me, when I hear my housemate (who I haven't seen for a good 4-5 days) coughing in his room:

What sort of long term impacts do you guys foresee from this pandemic? Whether it be in business, technically, personal lives, etc. We can see how events like 9/11 and the recession caused lasting impacts, and I'm interested in knowing what could come of this.

I think we’re going to move into a Ready Player One world.  All the schools, colleges, and a lot of companies are getting setup to run online. We’re going to see that there are benefits. A lot of stores and restaurants are working out the kinks for online ordering and delivery. We had that before but not at this level. We’re all going to start living in a virtual world much faster than we would have.

We aren’t even allowed to go to the office. If there’s something you need, you have to send in a request so they can schedule it to make sure 1)there aren’t more than 10 people there at a time and, 2)so there’s not more than one person from any department there at the same time. Keep in mind, we are the entire 7th floor of the building so it’s a little bit ridiculous.

Industries and concepts that could be affected negatively

1. Cruise Ship Industry - Further Nail in the coffin
   
2. Cinaplex Type Movie Theaters - It will be interesting see how the release straight to VOD at $20 works.  IMAX and the old boutique/retro movie theaters should survive.
   
3. Open Office Concepts - does not work with Social Distancing and no assigned desks.
   
4. Small Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities 
   
5. LEED aspect of lots of people in small spaces
   
6. Open Markets where you can buy anything that moves as food
