Cornell declared halfway through Friday that everything was shutting down, goodbye, get off campus yesterday please. Which means a lot of students who can't/won't leave Ithaca for whatever reason are now frantically looking for sublets in Collegetown, while a whole bunch of other people are frantically trying to pack and/or ditch all their things and arrange transportation out of town. It's a MESS.

And we just got our first confirmed Covid-19 case in the county, though so far still none on any of the local college campuses, so that's been fun. Two of the tenants whose apartments we were planning to show this afternoon called and said, basically, "Help the virus is here and you can't bring anyone into my home." Which is fair! But very inconvenient, especially on only an hour's notice or so.

At least Cornell doesn't intend to start online classes until April 6, for which I'm sure the tech department is grateful.
