Abstract

(This piece originally appeared on John Grogan's blog on March 23, 2020. Reposted by permission.) What a difference a few days can make. Not long ago, I was watching coronavirus taking hold in Seattle, but still, like most Americans, considered it far away and of no immediate concern to me. I went about my daily business. On Wednesday, March 11, I was annoyed when we arrived at an Indian restaurant for lunch and were told they had abruptly stopped the help-yourself lunch buffet "until further notice." "You mean I have to order off the dinner menu?" I grumbled. The next morning I visited Home Depot, not for emergency supplies, just to pick up some lumber and glue. Captain Oblivious on the loose.
