Date night in the car.
Schools were closed down and I had already pulled my son 2 days prior to the announcement out of fear. A mandatory lockdown is looming so we dropped the kids with my mom for what may be the last time in awhile and went to grab groceries and one last take out from Chilis. -

Traveling in Italy
My wife and I were traveling in Italy when this started to blow up there. I think when we got there, there were a couple cases maybe. We were in Venice for Carnivale and then traveled to Florence, Pisa and Lucca. We visited the Uffizi museum and the statue of David and then stayed in a castle overlooking Florence. We traveled by train throughout the cities and lots of boats while in Venice. The Sunday we were going to Florence on the train is when we heard Carnivale was canceled. When we got back on Monday to Venice, it was a very different scene with the piazza's and Campos very empty along with the restaurants. During our last couple of days in Italy, they started locking things down. Lombardi region, specifically Milan, got put on lockdown and Rome was quickly heading that direction. We did take precautions and wiping surfaces we were touching down and washing our hands constantly, but did not find any masks we could buy. The most frustrating part was during our travels back to the US. We flew from Marco Polo airport in Venice to Frankfurt airport and then to Denver. We received absolutely no screening or testing whatsoever during that entire trip. The crazy thing is that we received a forehead scan on the way into Frankfurt going to Italy, but absolutely nothing on the way home. While we were both lucky enough to be able to work from home, we both had some mild symptoms and felt given our recent return from Italy that we should get tested. Because of the sole fact that we were not running a temperature it took us over a week to actually get a test and then a few more days to get the results. I feel very fortunate and surprised that we tested negative. -

Dog Days During the Coronavirus
This image depicts my dog, Jon Jon, laying on my lap at our home. He has been confused but happy now that we are home all day every day. He does not realize that anything is amiss, he is simply happy his humans are home to spend time with. He serves as a direct contrast to the panic that we humans are feeling in the midst of the pandemic. -

Carleton College Chapel in Minecraft
Carleton College students, like many college students in the United States, are currently facing several weeks of separation and online courses. To help foster connections to each other and to the campus we call home, we have begun to design a replica of our campus in Minecraft. This image is the impressively designed and highly accurate rendering of Carleton’s chapel in Minecraft. -

Carleton Campus in Minecraft
Like students from across the United States, Carleton College students are trying to remain connected during a 5-week stretch of online classes. One avenue of connection is our shared Minecraft server, in which we are building a replica of our college campus. This is an impressively designed and highly accurate rendering of our chapel on campus. -

Facebook advertisement for satirical TV show Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell on the ABC.
A photo of Francis Greenslade’s character Liam O’Malley, Chief Deputy Medical Officer Intern with the text reading “The important thing with panicking is we don’t want to rush into it. We want all Australians to wait until we can declare a state of national panic and we can have an ordered, timely descent into chaos.” This resource shows the comedic response to panic in the broader community. -

Diary LM
CV diary Saturday 19 March 2020 I went to the walk today. Have missed the last two and the world has changed so much that I wasn't sure anyone was coming. But there were 5 of us, all keeping our distance. Three did not come because they are self isolating or fearful of having coffee with us ?? A lot of the discussion as we walked about the past two weeks - the virus , restrictions, shopping, toilet rolls, family situations, what is going to happen... G has just come out of two weeks isolation after her holiday in Egypt. D is under pressure from her daughter to change her life - e.g. Not to walk this morning. But she came. We all need the exercise and I/we need to see my friends. When we got to the coffee shop we were able to snag two tables outside. But that wasn't enough for M who moved her seat even further away. Each to their own. But hard not to feel the inherent rejection. G shared her hand sanitizer. During the walk I got a phone call from a friend, cancelling our plans for a film tomorrow. She was amazed that I was outside walking with friends and had stopped for a coffee. Said she and her husband have been in isolation since last Sunday. Cautioned me to do the same. When I got home I thought about my plans. I will go to church tomorrow (it was confirmed late today that the Diocese has belatedly decided to ban all services from Monday). Should I go to the gym on Monday? They seemed well organised last week. Should I cancel my lunch with Susan on Tuesday? Have not seen her since her mother died, I could not go to the funeral or the wake. And she seems quite distressed and needs support. On Wednesday I am expected to present at an important Board presentation to Club members. It is being taped and uploaded to our website for those who cannot get to the meeting. Should I cancel everything after that? LM
