by Katie Herchenroeder | Mar 16, 2020 | Social (Media) Distancing

Trying to explain asymptomatic transmission and the exponential growth of epidemics to a 5-year-old to explain why he can’t have a birthday party, and it’s…not going well.

Curious how newsrooms are physically deploying reporters amid the coronavirus? Or what the protocol is? Are there any policies in place to stay home or go out with caution?

God I hope someone asks all these business titans about their paid sick leave policies

You know who are also heroes? Those working the checkout counters and stocking shelves at supermarkets and pharmacies. Their work, at some risk to their own health, is vital to the health and safety of our country.
