Yep, in Turkey, the most common cologne type is 80 degrees of alcohol based ones. So their use is not limited to scenting purposes.

Here’s something. Just got news today, on my 19th birthday that the rest of my college semester will be moved to online classes. Little is known now, but I’m a music major, classical piano. I don’t know what’s going to happen to my lessons, the ensembles I’m accompanying for and playing in, the aural skills classes. I don’t know how on earth this is going to work. I’m pissed and worried. I’ve been enjoying school so much, it feels like I can’t catch a break recently.

Sounds like you hit a sour note. Sorry to hear your semester is in treble, and now you're playing the blues, but it's just a minor interlude. On the bright side, no need to feel flat, the diminished scale of work leaves you open for other arrangements. Compose yourself, that's the relative key to inner harmony. So take note, go out and do something, nothing major is necessary -- that's the tonic! After all, every good boy deserves favour.

Quite a news cycle. Trump imposes travel restrictions with Europe, Tom Hanks has the coronavirus, and the NBA season is suspended indefinitely.

The university I work for has also cancelled in-person classes until April 6 and moved them online. I still have to go to work at the moment. Not sure if that will change. There are many things I can accomplish from home. The way things are going at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me if they extend that way past April 6. Hope they nip this in the bud soon. I understand the mortality rate in Italy is at 5% now, mostly due to having an older population. I've got older relatives I'm really concerned about here in the U.S. Some of the predictions some doctors are now saying are much more dire than I ever expected.

Tom Hanks has coronavirus? Was he shaking hands with Trump?

I’m looking at a forced 2 week vacation from work. Sure I’ll miss my little autist buddies taken straight out of Monty Python’s Flying Circus...but yeah not ALL is doom and gloom regarding the ol corona. Ahem

Then again..I can also vividly imagine having to be one of the only people who has to go to work, simply because I am one of the few there who actually can be around all the kids.
Feck...I celebrated too soon

I don’t own either or stream but I highly suspect you’re right
I do foresee a lot of music listening coming up (if I do get that “vacation” (I’ll believe it when I see it)).

As a registered nurse, working from home is not an option. This is going to be an interesting few weeks.

I'm keeping my son home from school, elementary school, as there was a case at the high school a few minutes walk away (where my daughter went to school). He was sick with the stomach flu for over a week anyway, and Spring Break is almost here. I'm picking up and driving my wife to work (she's an engineer in biotech) so she doesn't have to be on the crowded public transit. Her heart attacks put her at more risk. I work mostly from home anyway. I was planning to go to Australia soon to go to my brother's wedding, but have decided against it.

There are a number of confirmed cases in the area where I live, and I expect quite a few more in this neighborhood.
