COVID-19

How is everyone doing, dealing with the pandemic? We have an international membership so presumably people are affected by it all over the world. Your faithful mod is in New York City, which is now considered the epicenter of the virus. Everything "non-essential" is closed. I'll look up essential services later. We're suffering from a terrible lack of beds and hospital equipment. And the POS covered in orange greasepaint is only making things worse.

How are you coping? I've gone past "staring at the TV dumbly" to "wandering around the apartment, looking out the window, stunned". We can still get takeout, so there's that.

Bear in mind you can respond to this post anonymously, whether you're a member or not.

No typo - "summer complaints" is the traditional way we refer to tourists. ;) Our economy has been tourist-based for a ridiculously long time. I was thinking of writing a Jeeves and Wooster 'snowed in at a cabin' story set in Maine.

Any chance I can discuss this with you via email?
