Our PM finally stopped all International flights to Canada today, for non-residents. Borders to USA are still open but 14 day quarantine upon return.

No - I meant a UNC degree has little value since they got caught making up bullshit classes with zero work and never got in trouble for it. It was a huge scandal at the time.

Cornel has been closed since Friday and they’re pushing all students out ASAP. They’re starting 100% virtual classes in three weeks. I’m so glad I’m not teaching this semester. I’m site it’s a nightmare.

Hey Ben. No it was The “Scary Times” Manual by Dan Sullivan Founder of Strategic Coach on managing and turning negatives into positives. Really good. I sent it and it must have filtered through my Trustware. I will try a different way.

Australia is about to close it's borders, no surprises there. We're all in this together, unprecedented in my/our lifetime. Lets all be kind each other regardless of where we are on this planet. Remember none of us get out of here alive. In the meantime, wash your hands, look after your families and make sure you have ample stock of your favourite relaxant.

So long as all students can take fake classes, UNC is in the clear.

I just admitted to having multiple degrees in "fake" classes from there, so "business" will carry on as usual I presume :lol:

My cousin is at Ontario Veterinary College. They are keeping classes open for the students there who are in their final semester of surgery prior to graduation.

Makes sense to me as it would be very difficult to put a pause on this degree at this time or do anything remotely.

Of course, they are monitoring the situation regarding infections. So far, so good.

oh yes, some good buys in 2008-2009, the market came back nicely, if your in for the long hall and don't try to make quick money the maarket will be good to you. A balanced portfolio is key.

i'm still working on proposals and pursuits, it doesn't seem like any of our clients (architecture) have put things on hold yet. which really surprises me. who's going to be in an office later this week or next week to receive printed proposals?

What up with the Bay Area lack of toilet paper had to send some to my sister in the mail she said please send me some it can’t be found lucky,cvs, trader joe, target none had it were she lives. Lucky for me had two cases of Costco toilet paper so sent her some. Now this toilet paper hoarding getting out of control. They should do a reality tv show on toilet paper hoarders were they go into the hoarders house with wall to wall toilet paper with only a small pathway to get around inside the house and through the front door.

Yea, it’s respiratory virus right?

On a positive note: if you have a gun but no TP....find a neighbor with TP and offer to protect them if they wipe your ass.

actually, FWIW, there have been some studies (according to news reports i saw last night) that there *is* a gastrointestinal side of covid19. there are early presentations of diarrhea in covid19 positive patients that shows up before other symptoms. unfortunately, since diarrhea is pretty common, it's not a great indicator by itself.

Same here. But you know, you and I often face a six month lag. If we keep this short, will be but a blip.

Man that's hard core, hope you can pop across the State line? I stocked up on beer a few weeks ago JIC. It's the only thing there hasn't been a run on.

There is now a run on foods stuffs here in Australia, there is still civil order ATM. I'm certain this will change in the coming weeks depending upon how this plays out.

Airlines, hospitality & tourist businesses are stuffed for now. Were mid way through our home renovations and will continue with the build as theres no need or reason not to. Our finances are fine and feel it's important to keep $ flowing where ever possible.
