Master  7712     Orlando |  Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSEDOriginally posted by JBacarella I want to apologize to the group. In an earlier post I used the phrase "Netflix and chill." I did not know this was a sexual reference, until one of my daughters pointed it out with all of the subtlety of a baseball bat. I am sorry I wrote this. I remember back in the old days that chill meant to relax, and had no real idea it meant something else in that phrase. I am sorry for writing this in one of my posts. I didn't know that phrase either!! |

Expert 1694 Illinois | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED So this afternoon the Governor announced that all bars and restaurants in Illinois will be closed starting Monday at midnight and remain closed through March 30. Can still get carry out, curbside and delivery. My daughter's BF works for a pizza restaurant, he is very concerned about the state of affairs. |

They could be hit hard. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Looks like I am going to be doing a lot of cooking! No problem--I love to cook, if I have time and not tired from work, which is going to be a non-issue for a while. As long as we stay healthy, I can put up with anything, pretty much. |

Master 4452 | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Cluster-fagoozie. Thats what this is. Major universities here have all gone to online only no later than Wednesday of this coming week. My college is cutting in person on Mar 20 at the latest (we have very small classes). Still planning on in person exams starting April 14, but that may change. Not sure how we are going to deliver our lab content, but we shall see. My city is closing all rec centers, pools, libraries etc as of end of business today. We keep getting told by our Provincial Med Officer that it is still safe to be out and about, just mind social distancing etc, but then why is everything closing? This is so crazy and surreal.... |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Libraries and pools also closed here. School closed with no warning--we got a notice Thursday saying all sports and assemblies were shut down; sent kids home with that. Friday was a scheduled teacher workday (no kiddos). The governor closed the schools around 4 AM on Friday. So kids were sent home without I-pads, books, etc. Also wish I'd had some kind of warning on the library! We had not stocked up.... I don't know if they have them in Canada or elsewhere in the US, but we have something called "Little Free Libraries" (little wooden cases with used books that neighbors exchange) scattered throughout neighborhoods in our town, including two within 5-10 minutes walk of our house. There is a really big one on one of my running routes and I promised Mom I would check it out later this week if that's still feasible. I actually went (armed with disinfectant wipes) and checked out a few today; dropped off some of our used books and picked up some new ones. They have been wiped down and are now waiting on the "quarantine shelf" to be read later. Desperate times.... |

| 297 | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Was super happy to see our rec center listed as closing on Monday. Called them up and they were open today, so I got one last swim in before it shuts down. And there were hardly any people there. Win win. |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED All of my kids are 100% on line including exams. Michigan State is delaying graduation for dd#2 waiting for Tulane to decide what they are going to do. DD#2 said she is good with it, sh is going to graduate again in 4 years. The worst hit in my son. He had a good freshman year and after three days misses college. Exams and labs are all on line. I am impressed that Michigan State was able to switch to 100% on line in 24 hours. My wife was informed that she is going to work at home, but if the need additional help at the hospital they may have her come in, in a support capacity. |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED I shared this with a few of you on Facebook already but... Endurance Nation is hosting a Facebook Live session this Wednesday at noon eastern: Triathlon Training During Covid-19 AMA with Coach Patrick https://www.facebook.com/endurancenation/ I thought that some of you might be interested. I'll try to attend and share the info with the Pod as well. |

That is a great idea, we have some of the Little Free Libraries right here!I got my mom Audible for her chemo treatments and she has discovered that they have a few daily news ones that she loves. Her treatments have had her waking up in the middle of the night for an hour or so and and she listens to them then. If she falls asleep, no biggie (or else they've done their job). |

This is definitely of interest. For myself, I'd be concerned doing Choo later into the summer (heat). It's been proven long distance races and I don't get along in the heat. For sure it would take some consideration to do it on their postponed date or defer to next year. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Originally posted by jmkizer I so glad that we have our community here! Yes, I'm going to need my Manatees to help me keep my sanity. I've been mandated to work remotely for 3 weeks (so far) and travel is 'forbidden', even domestically lest we get 'caught' and put into a mandatory 14 day quarantine. However, they didn't specify a distance restriction for travel (not that I have plans to go anywhere at the moment). Over the weekend I traveled no farther than 20 minutes from my house, hopefully that would be fine. They are starting to roll out closures of rec centers, any events, restaurants, bars, etc. (unless it is a drive through/take out restaurant). So far it is only in the hardest hit counties, one of which is not mine yet, but I'm sure it's coming. The libraries are already closed, as are schools of all levels. Interesting times we are living in. Police were called to one of our local grocery stores for a fist fight. Edited by melbo55 2020-03-16 8:57 AM |

For sure it would take some consideration to do it on their postponed date or defer to next year. Well, that's the thing. We pick events based on dates. Changing the date, changes the conditions and the race may not meet our needs for that or other reasons. That being said, I don't know if the events that I selected for 2020 are the events that I want to do in 2021. It's a big mess, that's for sure. Right now, I'm assuming that everything is canceled for the next eight weeks based on the CDC's statement. "The CDC recommends people avoid crowds of 50 or more for the next eight weeks." Chattanooga 70.3 is in nine weeks. FWIW, almost every single WTC event for which changes have been announces have been "postponed." I don't know if postponed for real or postponed as in it's not happening on the original date and we haven't figured things out yet. |

All the big marathons that were postponed got rescheduled to the fall! I imagine some of WTC races will do that, however, (if choo ca ncels)Choo may be difficult since they already have the full in the fall. Plus, I agree, with other races on the books already squeezing in a late summer, early fall Choo could be problematic. I'd really like an early cancel announcement for Choo so i can stop swimming as soon as possible |
