I honestly wish those of you who had tendered your resignation in can rescind it and after things calm down you can join us here once again. Best of luck.

You know, it's not always about Trump.

The virus doesn't watch Fox or CNN. The virus doesn't care. It's going to continue to spread, kill people, and wreak havoc on the economy regardless of who the President is. What matters is that administration, Republican or Democrat, does what it can to curtail it. And right now not enough is being done. Nobody knows what's going to happen, but we aren't exactly helping ourselves by not following social distancing recommendations from non partisan experts, by not testing, by not stocking up on ventilators.

Still nothing officially saying class is canceled, kind of nerve wracking. Let me know if you hear anything and I’ll do the same.

I know you want to hear it from the horses mouth but the April class was not happening as of Friday. I would definitely not put in my 2 weeks or start trying to rescind one that was already put in. The plan is May, but who really knows right now.

Sadly we're not. We are just several weeks behind them in the epidemiological curve.

That is exactly right. And the fact that we haven’t tested as much. It’s been growing at an exponential rate everywhere except Taiwan, because they took very strict measures from the moment they knew China had a problem. To think it’s going to be different here is naive. We are more behind the curve than Italy and Spain.
