Pandemic closures

I transitioned to working from home this week. It's excellent, I am always more productive from a private office anyway. I have a view, a decent speaker system, nobody talking on calls around me, etc. and I save time and the planet in not commuting. I appreciate being able to break my workday with my workout. Classes have transitioned to being online too so Benjamin is home and I suspect that tomorrow is Miranda's last day of school this academic year. The University's mostly shut itself down though for now one may continue on-site activity if working on SARS-CoV-2. (I work in the same research complex as a drug discovery unit and an anti-infectives center.) Even more excitingly, spring's Eurovision Song Contest has been canceled for the first time in decades.

I suspect those specific labs will be working full-bore on any such projects presented to them, if they aren't already. Or providing supporting services to labs already so tasked.
