They have closed the University of Oklahoma campus completely for a week.

We were notified this morning that the campus is completely closed. Someone on the OU campus has been diagnosed with COVID-19. The students are already gone. We are trying to figure out what to do with ongoing research that needs to be tended to. I hope this doesn't go on for a long time but it might.

1. I'm afraid one week won't do much good.

Schools are closed here for 3 weeks (in Ohio) maybe longer. All college classes on line now. All bars and restaurants closed. We are one whole year away from a vaccine, and that’s being optimistic. We’re in for the long haul, I’m afraid.

2. All the classes are online and the students are not to come back for 3 weeks.

This is closing everything down, sending all employees except the vital ones home. I don't think a week will do it either, but it is what it is. At least for this week we will be paid, not sure past that.

3. There are no words

to sufficiently express how furious I am at our piss poor leader who denied this virus even existed or that it would ever come here and sicken thousands of Americans.

November can’t get here soon enough.

Stay safe, redstatebluegirl.

4. I am worried about my husband, he went in today to shut down his research and get some things so he

can continue to write papers and such from home. We did not anticipate them telling us we could not go back to campus, I know he should have, but he is totally lab and research driven. That is something else to think about this is shutting down medical research like my husband's all over the country as well.
