Mike in DC has joined this room
Matt1: Hello m & R!
Mike in DC: Greetings!
Rush: Good evening Mike!
Rush: No Rachel tonight?
Mike in DC: Rach is in a school meeting at the moment…stag for now…
Matt1: How is Iowa handling this situation? Better?
Matt1: Zooming, Mike?
Rush: I believe they are handling things MUCH better.
Rush: They will certainly open before CA.
Mike in DC: Absolutely, Matt…RachZoom
Rush: I had my meeting this morning.
Matt1: I did my 1st Zoom yesterday with family
Mike in DC: She’s in a “come and play in the band” meeting with incoming students

Matt1: We’re moving right alone, well….here in FL
Mike in DC: Fingers crossed, Matt
Matt1: Though my wife thinks she’ll be working from home until 2nd week of July
Rush: From what I have been hearing, things have gone better when people are outside more.
Matt1: Nobody want to be the 1st business to open
Mike in DC: Yes, Rush. Our medical school says that we should have a good six weeks of school in the fall.
Rush: Reminds me of kids, waiting for someone else to raise their hand first.
Matt1: Yep
Mike in DC: It’s the liability.
Matt1: Everyone watched Georgia
Rush: And Sweden.
Mike in DC: Everything will be great until the first setback. Then…boom.
Rush: Well, especially if some are hoping for “boom.”
Matt1: I think people are starting to “break” though
Mike in DC: It’s too bad we can’t do school in the summer.
Rush: I agree.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, Rush, it would sink like “a stone”
