The global pandemic has just begun, and we’re all adjusting in different ways. We talk about how we’re handling things personally, and how our universities are handling things (via policy and technology).

  • Talking about MacOS updates (that’s why Spillers is late)
  • Arkansas has a curfew 
  • Michigan is in 100% lockdown (nothing by groceries)
