I saw that. Really satisfied me to be honest. Revenge because of ridicule at its finest! If you joke around with deadly diseases, it'll wait for you right around the corner.

Just got back from the arcade...

France closed all schools. We're waiting right now for the official statement of Merkel... she's an hour late... they're probably thinking about a possible excuse for not closing the schools to push through their lobbyist interests.

Yep. That's my son. The doctor speaking to the state was the wife of one of my kid's teachers. I live in Columbus.

What a funny thread.

In the mean time, over here in The Netherlands all people are encouraged to work at home if possible. But schools will remain open because "children forced to stay home will force the parents to stay home, which would do the economy more harm than keeping the schools open."

Wow. Ticket brokers are going nutty right now. Same for Vegas as people like me go there every March for the opening two rounds

 

If the Super Bowl was in 2 weeks, likely the same outcome as the NCAA.

The NCAA tournament will not go on.  MLB has cancelled the rest of spring training and delayed start of season.  Broadway is closed.  NFL is recalling scouts and will address draft.  My son was sent home with two weeks of work today but it is still open temporarily.

Our Easter Break starts on Good Friday in our district.  We're still 4 weeks away from that.

If I had to guess, if our district does something sooner rather than later, and closes down, they will move the Easter break up, add a second week, and can the week off mid-April.  Hopefully.

I sense pretty good online LEGO sales over the next month with all these kids home.

Yeah, I'm thinking they restart (or reassess)schools after Easter.

mine have been substantially up the past month already. Silver lining as I mentioned earlier in this thread 

How do we objectively track this as a group so we know when to send sets into FBA?

Big risk right now using Amazon warehouses. If one employee goes down at that warehouse...whole warehouse operation goes down for a bit as they quarantine and sanitize.

Not for us. Half Europe is under quarantine except for us Germans. Incompetence! I think the pressure is too big though at almost 3000 infected, schools will close here too, only a matter of time.

Fire up the LEGO seals thread. I'm sure they'll want to know if their LEGO was packaged before the outbreak.
