Woke up at 4:15 am to Karen talking to an airline agent to cancel her flight to Houston. She had awakened earlier to read the news that the NBA had cancelled its season and Tom Hanks and his wife were ill with the corona virus in Australia. Seemed embarrassingly late to cancel, but as it turned out later in the day others had also cancelled and ultimately FotoFest cancelled the balance of the event. Too many people from too many places including outside the US, probably China and S. Korea.
Glad she didn’t go. Seems like very much an unnecessary risk. We are in the demographic of those most at risk.
Emily and I talked about cancelling events and programs at the library. Need a policy.
Tennis lesson – started work on a knuckle-ball serve – combo top spin with slice.
The news is filled beginning to end with the coronavirus pandemic. Trump’s leadership has so far been more lacking than even his bad earlier performance might suggest. Again busy blaming Obama and the Democrats for the virus. People in his regime refer to the virus as the Wuhan virus.
