This was a strange week.
There’s no skipping over where we are as a country right now. For me—I’m sitting in my house in Massachusetts, my kids are out of school until at least April 8, I’m banned from gathering with more 25 people at one time in one place, and the restaurants and bars around us can stay open, but until April 17 they can only to serve takeout and deliver food.
We all got word of this just after 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Less than two hours later, the Center for Disease control issued a recommendation that all gatherings in this country should be limited to 50 people over the next eight weeks, which would take us into mid-May.
