our schools are closed money to prepare, but i am sure something will change by the end of Monday, if not sooner. we were told to stop all reservations of shelters, community centers, campgrounds.

yesterday, governor ordered public schools closed 3 weeks starting monday and announced she hasn't determined whether to make that up at the end of the school year, but i'm guessing she'll just executive order this school year will be less than 180 instructional days.

parents going crazy trying to figure out daytime arrangements now that taxpayer funded daycare won't be happening for 3 weeks.

It's crazy. They're still doing school lunches though, thank God. I'm one of those families that really relies on school lunch. although I'm not sure how well that's going to prevent the spread of the virus, it's still a group larger than 20.

Man Italy is suspending mortgage payments due to the virus.
I bet it's not "free' mortgage suspensions. when banks and retailers in america have "skip a payment" things, the interest still accumulates.

governor is still figuring out how to do the free kid lunches here, but i bet here and where you are, it's lunch pickup only and your child must eat it at home or in a non-group setting.

Let's hope in this case interest doesn't accrue , its part of an crisis package so i doubt there's any fine prints
