Right now , all schools in Maryland are shut down until March 27 . Been shut down for 2 weeks , its not so bad here , but still no one goes out shopping or anything , and makes it hard for shop owners and stuff , and same for my dad too , he owns a carry out but rn he doesn't get a lot of people to come anymore

A lot of people are being laid off in Canada too, mostly in the provinces which have are in a state of emergency. 

The government though is trying to assist people and student loan payments are on hold for 6 months. 

Hopefully things get better. But, I feel they will get worse before things improve. Best people can do is help each other. 

Good luck with everything

Schools in my state are closed until further notice, possibly until September is what they are looking at.

 Ah, back when we thought it would be over in a couple of months.

I never thought it was going to be over in just a few months , not with the number of "community transmission" cases and the lack of effective testing early on.  I was figuring closer to a year, though maybe with something of a lull during the warmer months.  Usually it seems they get a vaccine for this year's variant of the flu in time for next year's flu season.  That's kind of what I've been expecting for this one, but even that assumes it is a "well-behaved" virus that doesn't come up with any sneaky tricks.  Especially for the high-risk groups this isn't going to really be over until they get a working vaccine produced and distributed.
