“Go to work & risk contact with sick people, or stay home & risk losing SNAP? Many face this choice as the WH refuses to postpone its controversial rule change.”

CONFIRMED: The WH considered halting its SNAP cuts due to #CoronaOutbreak—and has opted to let them take effect 4/1.

Hopefully this virus crap is over. Seems everyone has a target date of March 31st. Schools and attractions anyway seems to think that.

Expect further announcements as this progresses. We just got the word where I teach that all classes spring quarter will be shifted to be online. I expect more colleges and universities will follow suit. If we're lucky things will be getting back to normal by fall.
