Ahh I think you're right--I think I've read that somewhere too. And those take up to 14 days to appear. Alright. I'm fine for now. I am still on edge about he whole thing but a little less worried about my particular case. Thank you!"

I was in the mezz Saturday night as well. I swear the woman who seated me said she was working both sides of the mezz because someone had called in.

Legit same. I hate 2020. Remember when it started out with us worrying about the death of a top Iranian general leading to WWIII? And nothing happened? Yeah...

There is the Actors Fund, Money raised for Equity Fights AIDS which could perhaps be used for some folks....

I heard someone say today, albeit somewhat awkwardly expressed, that every generation experiences one or two major shockwaves like this that remind people of all we take for granted.

It reminded me how easy it is to unknowingly become complacent about even the simplest things like washing my hands correctly, knowing the names and contact info for all my immediate neighbors in case of an emergency, or maintaining a basic supply of groceries that would sustain me if I was incapacitated for an extended period of time.

Organizations can fall into the same lull and overspend when sales are great, fail to allocate monies for emergency reserves, not have a clear crisis communication plan, et al.

CNN announcing that France is shutting it all down:

"France to close all restaurants, cafes, cinemas and clubs due to coronavirus"

Robbie2 said: "Coronavirus Can Live in Patients for Five Weeks After Contagion"

May I ask your source for this?  Not being snarky, but I’ve been looking for this info and I’m curious where it can be found. 

I read a report that suggested a few weeks of virus shedding after a person with covid recovers from symptoms. This has NOT yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal but I am keeping my eyes open for this.

 

 

I have a manager friend at Equinox - they are discussing closing...

I'm a member at one of the suburban clubs and had a similar discussion this morning. I think it's inevitable they'll close sometime over the next week. My club was pretty empty though. 

steven22 said: "Any best guesses as to what productions are planning to come back/reopen and what likely won't?"

My guess is that Broadway in general will be closed at least through May. The April date was just arbitrary and a date to work off of.

I would like to suggest that City Center include Live Life is their summer schedule if the theatre reopens.

BREAKING

SAN FRAN SHUTTING DOWN FOR 3 WEEKS... 24-Hr Curfew Starts Tonight

San Francisco is going the way of Italy with its coronavirus safety measures -- the Mayor's instituting around-the-clock curfew, banning almost everyone from leaving their homes.

Mayor London Breed announced what she calls a "defining moment" in U.S. response to the pandemic. Beginning at 12 AM, all residents within the city can only leave home for doctor's appointments or runs to the grocery store.

It's the strictest new policy enacted in the nation, and matches the current rules in Italy ... which has been the 2nd hardest-hit country in the world.

The Mayor says the rule will remain in effect for at least the next 3 weeks.

 

IS NYC Next??????
