Ways your life will change during the coronavirus epidemic 1. Washing my hands a lot more, and for longer duration. 2. Work from home more often. 3. There’s a LOT LESS traffic on the SFBA roads! Very little traffic on US-101 between San Carlos (S of San Francisco) and Santa Clara! Yeah! 4. 'Way too many things I actually wanted to go to are getting cancelled - grrrrr! 5. Lots more alone time. 6. Trying to figure out how to do my job, teaching online instead of face-to-face 7. I’m in the high-risk group. If I get it, I’m a dead man, so I need to live like Bubble Boy. 8. Fewer TV sports to watch. NBA is cancelled, baseball has yet to start (if it even does), so we’re left with nothing but hockey. Until that gets cancelled too. 9. Cheaper gas ---
