I dreamt last night that I was traveling to Venice, while the coronavirus outbreak was still happening. There were other people getting off the plane with me, and a few people in masks working, but other than that it was empty and quiet. It kinda made me think that, when all this is over and travel resumes, I may make Italy my next trip, instead of Sweden. They need the tourist dollars more.
All this is predicated on the world economy not completely falling apart, and me still having a job in over a year from now. Being a state university employee has a level of safety, but not complete safety. Though I think the library has proven in this emergency to be incredibly important to the university as a whole (not that we didn't already).
They say this will be the worst two weeks for the US - strangely fitting that this week is Western Holy Week and next week is ours. Hopefully by Pascha infections will have leveled off.
