Some People: a poem from Jason Kottke [kottke.org]

Some People will surely thank him for writing this. Lots of people are feeling this way right now.

I can't see a end in sight in this emergency as long as the federal government form all phases continue to ignore this crisis.

At least I have to give Andy Cuomo a bit of props for at least knowing he's going to take full responsibility and the coming financial toll that many people will soon experience unlike those in DC right now.

Welp, New York State is officially in lockdown mode for the most part [timesunion.com]

Luckily, I'm working from home but many others sadly aren't so fortunate and their financial futures are now uncertain. Can expect layoffs and furloughs in the coming days/weeks.

Just heard from a friend of mine that I known for a long time that she had to punt her wedding until the fall or even maybe into 2021 because of this pandemic. This is just heartbreaking to know this since I was looking forward to her wedding in April. :(

The U.S. government is in active talks with tech companies about how they can use aggregate data from Americans' phones to combat COVID-19 "including tracking whether people are keeping at safe distances" [washingtonpost.com]

I won’t use a phone ever again if it happens due to the fact that the US government WILL use this for other purposes as a ripe for abuse, you don’t have to be a expert to know this.

@matigo You should have a status page for 10C (if you have one).
