Re: “Media Note: Rutland Herald, Times Argus Cut Staff, Print Editions”
Such a hard call to have to make.
With so many cancellations—sports—arts—shopping, the cash flow must be shocking.
I’ve enjoyed the Times-Argus’s good work in recent years...and as a subscriber and newshound, I’m rooting for them.

Re: “Health Department Reports Five New Coronavirus Cases”
A British friend noted (after hearing that the Outer Banks of NC is closing access by non-residents:
—Even in medieval times the wealthy moved out of London to their country houses in times of plague. Read Pepys, he's a fascinating diarist.
Of course people may find themselves here for many reasons but the privilege of second homes is one of them, in a state mostly served by tiny hospitals and doctor shortages.

Re: “Vermont Hopes to Expand Drive-Up Coronavirus Testing”
Of interest regarding drive-up testing.
Drive-up testing may be a bad idea, says this NJ hospital director who is overseeing 11 cases, all of whom are young males. Tests are only up to 90% accurate as opposed to 99.8% for flu. False sense of security. https://www.roi-nj.com/2020/03/14/opinion/…

Re: “UVM, Champlain College Move to Online Classes”
Today sure seems like a turning point of some sort.
Too bad it didn’t come weeks ago.

Re: “Vermonters Respond to the Climate Crisis With Grief and Action”
Nice work with this, Chelsea!
It's so good to see this topic explored in a Vermont publication. (Thanks, Seven Days).
I’ve been digesting these realities for quite a few years and have cycled through the stages of grief several times. Like Jane, I try to live close to the ground while I continue to to do what I can. I have accepted that the bigger picture may now be beyond our control. I try to find beauty—and include compassion—in each day.
Note to Chelsea: I’ve never run into the mention or practice of astrology in my many interactions with people considering our predicament, with most having their feet firmly planted on the ground and their minds more scientifically/ecologically oriented.

This is beyond tragic.
No words.
