Significant ones in CA also. All over the Bay Area (my kid’s is closed until Apr 10th at a minimum). I think a bunch in the LA area as well.

It’s not statewide in South Carolina yet, but today governor McMaster ordered 2 counties to close schools, including the one I work for.

Now all those parents are going to have to find babysitters.  I know it's hope for the best and prepare for the worst yet this whole thing seems to be a bit of an overreaction.

This morning the Los Angeles County Office of Education recommended to all school districts within the county to close all schools until at least March 27th.

 

Most likely all 80 school districts in the county will comply.  I know that ours has already made the announcement, and expect the surrounding districts to make the announcement soon. 

 

About the only things still open are the county libraries, and who knows for how much longer that'll be true.

I've seen rumblings that this has actually been the unofficial policy for the last ~week anyway.

Statement by the Department of Defense on Domestic Travel Restrictions

 

Today, the Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist approved new travel restrictions for service members, DoD civilians, and their families assigned to DoD installations, facilities and surrounding areas within the United States and its territories. This restriction will halt all domestic travel, including Permanent Change of Station, and Temporary Duty. This restriction will also pause civilian hiring at DoD installations and components for persons who do not reside within the hiring entity's local commuting area. 

 

Additionally, service members will be authorized local leave only, following Service guidelines. This new guidance is effective March 16 and continues through May 11.

 

Similar to other travel guidance regarding COVID-19, travel exceptions may be granted for compelling cases where the travel is mission-essential, for humanitarian reasons, or warranted due to extreme hardship.  Approval authority for these exceptions belongs to the Combatant Commander, the Service Secretaries, the Chief Management Officer, or the Director of the Joint Staff, but may be delegated.

 

The Department will continue to issue additional guidance with regard to the COVID-19 as conditions warrant.  Our goal is to remain ahead of the virus spread so our military force remains effective and ready.  

 

For more information on the CDC travel restrictions,

visit https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/.

 

We encourage all DOD personnel to

visit https://www.defense.gov/Explore/Spotlight/Coronavirus/for information on staying healthy during the outbreak.  The Department will issue follow-on guidance on this directive prior to implementation.

Last weekend Russia and MBS actions threatened to tank the US shale oil producers amid this Coronavirus crisis. It still could have a serious impact if oil prices stay under $35/barrel for very long. 
 

Wonder if that was just an isolated situation or if we start seeing other seemingly unrelated actions that hurt the US economy.

(Buffalo, NY) - In light of the serious health risks to vulnerable populations posed by the novel coronavirus, and to prevent widespread infection, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger temporarily dispenses the Catholic faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus threat.

 

Until further notice, Catholics of the Diocese of Buffalo should use their prudent judgment as to whether or not to attend Mass. Older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and family members of such individuals should take special care in discerning the best course of action to avoid exposure to large groups of people. At this time, Mass will continue to be offered publicly as announced or scheduled, contingent on emergency governmental restrictions regarding larger gatherings.

 

All other parish events and larger celebrations, including Confirmations and Lenten penance services, must be postponed until the end of March out of an abundance of caution. Further guidance will be provided regarding April and May as developments become clear.

Putin and Xi are not our buddies, neither are many of the Saudis. They all would love to see Trump out of office so they can do business as usual with Joe and his handlers. At a minimum, Joe would outlaw fracking as weaken our military. Xi’s buddies haven’t gotten much in return yet from their $1Billion investment in Hunter Biden. 
 

Joe wants to put us all back in chains of energy dependence, being a Second rate world power, Leading from behind, and good old Carter era malaise and misery. He is a useful idiot for powerful interests not all of whom reside inside our borders. Make America Weak Again.
