several being tested. We can’t find hand sanitizer anywhere, but people don’t seem to be hoarding toilet paper or other groceries.

I went to poll worker training this morning and damned if the trainer didn’t shake my hand at the end. I didn’t even think about it till I was in the car on the way home.

When I got home, there was an email from the BOE outlining infection control procedures at the polls. More scary, though, was an email from my choir director (500-voice community choir with over a dozen volunteer programs throughout the city) that all operations are cancelled for the next two weeks..and they will re-evaluate the season at that time. Damn. That got to me.
