Corona Virus # 3

Think of all the tax money that could be saved by not constructing all of the university buildings if students attended classes from home. Plus students save room and board if they are at the parents home ..... I have thought this for a long time.

I took a masters of science degree completely online 20 years ago. It has been around for quite some time!

We went to Wegmans in Dickson City to do our normal weekly shopping last night and were amazed to find the toilet paper section totally empty. Cleaning section, pretty much the same. Other sections were emptied to a slightly lesser degree. People are going nuts, it seems.

In Colorado they closed public schools through March 29th (last day of our Spring Break). No cases confirmed at any schools around my area. All large gatherings/events have been canceled. There is only 1 confirmed case in my county.

It is an airborne virus. All of this surface cleaning is mute if the person with it is breathing around you. No need to wear gloves. Just wash your hands well and keep them away from your mouth (however this will do little to stop transmission as it is airborne). It is good practice for all communicable disease.

Local director of schools here got a doctorate in "numismatics" (study of coins) from an online place in Pakistan. When the local news station got to looking into it, a rather embarrassed school board bought out the guy's contract.

Well - - I got my Masters of Environmental Science at the University of Alaska( Anchorage campus ) - night school. Night school is not fun and can disrupt your life considerably. That was over 40 years ago.

One good thing - I didn't have to relocate to Fairbanks to get my degree.

Very logical solution to the extremely high cost of education today.

The second wave looks more like a tsunami. The lack of testing I expect means many of us are spreading it without knowing it at this time. If China is giving us real data I do not understand why their rate of new cases are dropping like a rock? If that is the case maybe we are about to peak case wise.

I would say our peak in several weeks away. China has had this virus since October. They just didn't tell anyone about it.

I see Missouri has 2 confirmed cases now. Bet there a lot more that have it.
