Thank you for a thoughtful, well-thought out post. With everyone at or nearly at a full-blown panic over this virus, it's good to read something that makes sense.
In the town I live in, thankfully, there's only one confirmed case so far. Despite that, the Governor (Polis), has ordered all restaurants to go take out/delivery only. No large gatherings, social distancing, etc. Many schools went on early Spring Break while some have closed for the rest of the school year. I think the latter is a bit of overkill but that's just my opinion in the face of not having enough information to opine otherwise.
Where I work, we're getting updates and changes nearly by the hour. Surprisingly, communication and transparency is actually being used instead of the usual, "we'll just make the decisions and keep quiet about it and no one will ever notice" approach.
For the most part, nearly all areas of our campus has been closed to the students and the public for the duration of our extended Spring Break. The powers that be are mandating that all employees who can must work from home while rotating a schedule so their areas are manned but only by one or two people per week day. This makes sense, which scares the bejesus out of me. XD
The two hospitals in our town began preparing ahead of the need. The grocery stores are empty due to the panic buying of the scared shitless but they're restocking as fast as they can while shortening their hours so their people can work and they can clean more stringently.
Most of this feel surreal right now. As much as I'm trying to keep calm, it's hard not to catch the additional stress thrown about by everyone else. Live your life like you normally do but with some modifications. Wash your hands, don't touch your face, maintain social distancing (I really like this one), and don't do stupid stuff. There. I think that covers it. :D
