I think each day we will be seeing more breaking news with this virus. It is media overreacting, is it political, is it a conspiracy, or it it really such an awful virus all this is totally necessary? Only time will tell.
It has officially impacted our lives reaching close to home. On Wed, we got the email that Jake's Spring Break trip to Pine Ridge reservation was cancelled. The kids planned to leave early Sunday morning to spend a week on the reservation. The kids do service projects each day, have a teen night meal and activities with the natives, and stay on site. All travel in and out has been banned onto the reservation. Jake was really looking farward to going and said it was one of the highlights of his year last year. The kids had gone through training and were prepared. We had gotten his things ready to pack his bags. It was something he was really excited about.
Here are the latest happenings.
1) Drake, University of Iowa, and Iowa state University have moved to online classes following spring break! Unheard of!
2) The NYC St. Patrick's day parade has been cancelled for the first time ever.
3) Houtson' Stock Show and rodeo cancelled
4) NBA basketball stopped
5)NCAA tournaments went from being a no audience to cancelled.
60 Large concerts and conferences have been canceled or postponed.
7) Eurpoean flights have been banned
The hardest hit are the markets. The country has gone into a panic and is withdrawing from the stock markets. We are going into a recession over this outbreak.
