It’s crazy how fast everything has changed. Just two weeks ago, we were still talking about whether or not March Madness would be played. It has felt like a lot longer than two weeks. Now the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo have been postponed until next year.

Two weeks ago I was still thinking about attending a conference in Colorado next month. Now it looks like I will be flying back to Canada next month to spend time with my parents for a bit. My plans to spend the summer in Europe aren’t going to happen and now I am in the process of deciding where to settle down for the summer. Maybe I’ll go back to Medellin, Colombia.

The government reaction to the coronavirus in Mexico varies depending on your location. Nationally, the Mexican president seemed to be unfazed by this virus but regionally, the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro is taking it seriously. On Friday, he announced a five-day voluntary stay-at-home measure beginning the following day. That ended last night but he made another announcement for the continuation of this measure for five more days ending Monday. Another assessment will be made after that. I am glad the regional government here is being proactive.
