How large are the classes that you teach.  I guess the silver lining to this is teachers are still getting paid.  @SallyCat what’s it like at the private school you teach at.   I think this is tough for the parents having kids home all day..

It's been a lot of work setting up and getting started, but I like it. I don't have overnight dorm duty and I can "mute" kids who are being obnoxious, which really improves class for the other students. The kids on the whole seem to like it and so far they're doing great. But some have shitty family dynamics, which is why they were at a therapeutic boarding school to begin with, so long-term, online school isn't necessarily healthy for every student.

Will be interesting to see how long we have to keep this up and how/if it changes what school looks like after it's all over.

I think schools here won’t go back until September.

I don’t think officially.

My uncle's brother's wife has the virus. She manages a store in Hazleton. From what I hear she's not doing very well.

Day of week phenomenon x2 because of weekend and holiday? Hopefully continues that way, if accurate.

The amount of testing PA and the United States is doing is way down. At Lehigh valley hospital they are only testing those over 65 with symptoms rationing their low supple of tests.

That’s odd. A few weeks after I was told this was all a hoax I was told that anybody who wants a test could get one.

This is sad 32 year old guy in Allentown died worked at the sprint store. I remember seeing him at beer pong when it was at Roosevelt’s and we have six mutual friends on Facebook.  He passed away this morning.  Here is his last Facebook post.  This shit is really real.
