We spent a lot of $ to not learn anything for a semester. Sigh.

My other son is in Seattle, and he said his commute was cut in half last week because so many people were staying home. And his work (microsoft) told them all to work from home for 3 weeks if they can. That seems reasonable given the number of cases and deaths in Seattle area.
It's very scary here! I've been WFH for about 2 weeks. I work for a F100 company with about 50K employees and everyone has been offered a WFH option. My 47 floor office building was shut down on 3/2. My uncle (88) lives blocks from the Life Care facility in Kirkland. I could go on and on about the personal impacts I've had, but I will spare everyone

I shared this on FB (she's since been interviewed by a local station), but just in case anyone missed it or we aren't friends. This Seattle woman shares her experience of how she contracted COVID19 and what the illness was like.
