My wife very angrily told me not to worry about Corona tonight. She said the flu kills people too.

“What’s the big deal? It’s no different than if the flu was six to ten times more deadly, and there wasn't a flu vaccine. Hooray!”

That was part of her argument I think. The flu kills old people every year just like Corona, so what? Then she started talking about how she is going to fly to South Carolina with her parents and sister in August for her MAGA brothers Navy thing because her parents are old and she's worried about them traveling alone. I was speechless.

A hotel being used to house people in coronavirus quarantine has collapsed in China, trapping about 70 people.

It happened in the city of Quanzhou, in southeastern Fujian Province, the city government said on its website.

So far, 23 people have been rescued.

I work in the trade show industry and it is hitting hard this spring with cancellations and people not travelling. Currently at a show in Denver, but after this one, probably not going to have many to go to for a while. Lots of no shows and cancellations at the one I am currently working.

That would screw up so many things for students.

I've started to see former colleagues who are University profs begin to grumble about this on FB.
