CORONA VIRUS CANCELLATIONS SO FAR

LYFT

First, we know no words will do justice to everyone's individual experience over the last couple weeks. All of us at Lyft feel the weight of our responsibility to the community, particularly right now.

We know Lyft can be a critical lifeline for communities in need. Many people still need help reaching essential services, and many drivers count on this work for extra income. We're taking immediate action to help with both.​
Supporting drivers & maximizing community impact
While ride demand is temporarily down, we're actively expanding services to create new opportunities for drivers, facilitate rides for those in need, and help distribute essential goods. To help protect drivers and the recipients, deliveries will be contactless. Here's what we're doing:​
  • Supporting delivery of medical supplies and providing access to necessary medical transportation, especially for low-income individuals.
  • Supporting delivery of meals for those in need, including kids who receive free or subsidized lunch at school, and home-bound seniors.
  • Using our platform to alert riders and drivers about key safety and public health updates, including curfews and shelter-in-place orders through our app.
Activating national LyftUp partnerships
Today, we activated LyftUp to donate tens of thousands of rides to those with essential transportation needs — especially for families and children, low-income seniors, doctors and nurses. We're working with new and existing partners on this initiative including United Way, World Central Kitchen, and Team Rubicon.​
All riders and drivers are asked to stay home if they are sick, and should work with a medical professional to discuss transportation options if they need to see a doctor. Per the CDC and local health officials, anyone who suspects they may have or is diagnosed with COVID-19 should not use ridesharing.​
Coming together to help
Lyft has many available resources for those seeking to provide help for their communities.​
As part of this work to support the community, we're contributing our salaries to these efforts through the end of June. We're grateful for you being part of the Lyft community and will continue to keep you updated.

Thanks,

John & Logan

There’s no doubt that we’re living in confusing, frightening times, but a clearheaded voice is emerging from all of the noise to quell your worries in 30-minute, streamable chunks. Oprah Talks COVID-19 is Oprah’s new Apple TV+ series, which sees her “offering timely conversations around the global health crisis.” The first episode features a chat with Idris Elba, who was recently diagnosed with coronavirus, as well as his wife, Sabrina Dhowre. “I know a lot of people are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and uncertain,” Oprah wrote in her Instagram announcement of the series. “Because of that, I wanted to offer some hope and gather thought leaders and people going through it to add some perspective.” And don’t worry — all interviews featured on the show are conducted over social-distance-friendly FaceTime. Check out the first episode here and Oprah’s Instagram below. Oprah Talks COVID-19 will be available to stream for free, with or without an Apple TV+ subscription.

If we’re all going to keep consuming celebrity coronavirus content (and clearly we all are, because we work here and you’re reading this!), the least the celebs can do is cut the sentimentality and give us a peep into their own stir-crazy quarantine minds. It’s no surprise, then, that no one can deliver social distancing-induced silliness like Mariah Carey, who keeps her excellent quarantine videos coming with a new look at her exercise routine. Sunglasses on inside the house? Check. Off-the-shoulder Gucci? Check. Latex gloves? A given. The singer also has an updated version of her 2005 hit “It’s Like That” with a very special 2020 twist.
‘“I believe it was a young Jermaine Dupri that said, “This is…the point when I need everybody to put their gloves on,” Carey jokes, riffing on Dupri’s song-starting line: “This is…the point when I need everybody to get to the dance floor.” She continues, “’I came to work out/Quarantine’s got me stressed out/Oh well, that’s what’s up now/Boy, I know you’re watching this, so what’s it gonna be?” Laughs the singer, “But for real, you gotta just keep it going with this whole thing. I don’t know what else to say.” Mariah, you said it all.

White supremacists encouraging their members to spread coronavirus to cops, Jews, FBI says
The alert was sent to local police agencies by federal officials.

Coronavirus explainedEarly cases of COVID-19 are believed to be linked to a live-animal market in Wuhan, China.
Racist extremist groups, including neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, are encouraging members who contract novel coronavirus disease to spread the contagion to cops and Jews, according to intelligence gathered by the FBI.
In an alert obtained by ABC News, the FBI’s New York office reports that "members of extremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if contracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions."

The FBI alert, which went out on Thursday, told local police agencies that extremists want their followers to try to use spray bottles to spread bodily fluids to cops on the street. The extremists are also directing followers to spread the disease to Jews by going "any place they may be congregated, to include markets, political offices, businesses and places of worship."
"Anti-government folks in America love to target law enforcement as a symbol of America’s authority," said Don Mihalek, the executive vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation and an ABC News contributor. "It’s just sad that that's their focus at a time of crisis in the nation."
What to know about coronavirus:
Organizations that monitor the internet for white supremacist messaging have been seeing chatter for weeks that blames Jews and Jewish leaders for both the coronavirus and the global response, including the shut down of all but essential government functions in places like New York, New Jersey and California.

"From pushing the idea that Jews created the coronavirus virus to sell vaccines to encouraging infected followers to try to spread the illness to the Jewish community and law enforcement, as the coronavirus has spread, we have observed how white-supremacists, neo-Nazis and others have used this to drive their own conspiracy theories, spread disinformation and incite violence on their online platforms," said Michael Masters, the head of Secure Communities Network, an umbrella group that coordinates security for Jewish organizations and synagogues around the country.

"While the world faces a deadly pandemic, it’s a stark reminder that certain groups – notably the Jewish community and law enforcement – must also continue the battle against those who wish to hurt or kill them," Masters continued. "As the economic situation remains fragile and civil society disrupted, the potential for the followers of hate to act becomes more likely ... and more deadly."

I believe the article said.....
You can order online from BestBuy.com then pickup at the store
But you can't just walk around & "window shop" like most do

Correct, no window shopping but the article doesn't mention (my boy is a store GM) that customers can tell associates what they want and will grab product for them
