The Indian Wells tennis tournament which is held nearby Coachella just got cancelled. I expect more and more events to follow suit, though organizers will drag it out as much as possible in efforts not to lose money.
So they held a recent National in Honolulu. Which is fucking obvious that it is the board of directors trying to get a free Hawaii trip. Sure enough when they didn’t get enough hotel reservations for the playing site, the bridge organization took a significant hit.
Bridge organization can’t cancel Columbus without taking an even more significant hit. Like to the point where I don’t think the organization can take the hit. USA government should be “alright heres the few million you need to not run this” but yeah we know that isnt happening
It was weird, man. Like day to day life people are acting normal. Only a few confirmed cases of coronavirus in the area. Minor runs on stuff at grocery stores, but like disinfectants are gone and some staple dry foods were picked over. But WalMart was bonkers.
I managed to find a store that had the essentials, a full selection and almost nobody shopping there.
For those who can’t find stuff they need, think outside the box. A friend found hand sanitizer at a Staples. Figure out who stocks what you need at a place 99% of people wouldn’t think to look or wouldn’t go to for a panic-induced stockpiling trip. I think WalMart was nuts cause they normally stock everything anyone wanted, but that’s why none of the key stuff was left.
