Our son got an email this evening from his university in Los Angeles. that alters the on campus housing situation drastically. Previously assigned housing situations are re-evaluated. One student per room. Two per room if you are in an apartment. However, previous assignments no longer hold. We start from all over again.
I am sympathetic to the university’s decision. A university campus can be very difficult to control.
Yet, at the same time, the change is unsettling to him. It makes you ponder if it makes sense to go on campus all together. What if we sit out a semester and take the classes over Zoom.
I am already firmly into the work-at-home camp for the remainder of the year. I don’t see much benefit to go back into the office. Perhaps, I’ll make an in person appearance here or there, just to see a familiar face in person, rather than over Zoom or Meet.
He has to make a decision in the coming week if he will back on campus or not.
Here is the disturbing trend of confirmed cases for California, with Los Angeles leading the trend.
California Confirmed Cases
I appreciate how Chris Cuomo is more direct about reporting the news.
"Wonder what color the sky is in [VP] Pence's reality?" asks @chriscuomo, responding to the VP's claim the administration "slowed the spread…flattened the curve…saved lives."

"Cases are popping up in so many places and the twisted talk... is a reason why." pic.twitter.com/fyxCuBJR9D
