Your good looks, wit, and charm were insufficient, Yohanan? I'm surprised. 🙂 Yes, but he does enjoy God's grace! TR Talk about March Madness ... I wonder if they are running low on toilet paper? B-) Princeton tells students to stay home after spring break amid coronavirus outbreak; classes to go virtual Anthony Zurita, NorthJersey.com The remote classes will begin on March 23, when students were scheduled to come back from spring break, until April 5 – where the policies will be reassessed depending on the scale of the outbreak at that time, Eisgruber said. University students also were encouraged to stay home after spring break and were assured that they will still be able to meet their academic requirements if they choose to do so, he said. International students comprised 25% of the total student enrollment at Princeton in the 2018-2019 academic year and nearly half of the graduate program, according to university data. Campus life activities and groups that require physical presence will continue but will be "subject to appropriate restrictions," the letter said. "We understand that these and other measures will cause significant disruption and inconvenience to the campus community," Eisgruber said. "But we strongly believe that actions taken now will have the greatest chance of decreasing risk and that the potential consequences of not acting could far outweigh these short-term disruptions." - Fair Use - Oh my, lions, tigers and bears! TR I can imagine the coming headlines: "Movie goers stay home in droves, report mass vomiting and headaches. Hollywood blames Coronavirus, though surveys indicate it's not the fear of contagion, it's just really bad films making people sick." /Satire Democrats are urging Trump to cancel his rallies out of health concerns. Yeah, right. Their own gatherings aren't a problem, since people can stand more than six feet away from each other. Now I'm hearing that they have been pulling certain blood pressure medication(s) off the market going back maybe a couple of years because certain blood pressure medication(s) actually fights against the corona virus. So it sounds like this corona virus is a bio weapon released on purpose and it has been planned for a while. If this virus is the real deal we might have less than a month or so before all breaks loose in America because of it. Just look at the stock market. Down almost 6000 points since last week. The whole entire country of Italy is under quarantine which will probably cause more stock market problems. Shortages on certain things are being reported (n95 masks. hand sanitizer, wipes, toilet paper) Every day the stories are getting worse. I posted this on the other Coronavirus thread and thought I would post this here as well ... Theory here … by looking at today’s top headlines (see below) we see the virus has pretty much reached every nation, well … except for Antarctica and experts are wondering “the why”. :scratch: My cyber friend mentioned … could it be that the “Peace and Safety” the world will be crying out for is not from the actual “peace agreement” or from the result of Middle East war but could it be … when someone finally comes up with a cure for the virus itself … then they will all be celebrating with great joy and relief knowing their life will be getting back to “normal” once again? Then BAM sudden destruction comes ... because the rapture happens? Perhaps our heads up clue could be when they say we got the “cure serum”? Your thoughts?
