Cags:

Please keep us posted.

Here in Jos, I am in my classroom working (lunch break now). Our school is probably the only school in West Africa posting all of our classwork on Google Classroom and other online assets, and it's been quite a learning curve. It's not likely that we'll be able to reopen before the end of the school year, so this might be it. (Stag of the dawn and I both tried working from home, but our internet sucks there so we're at school today.)
Going out, it didn't look much different from any ordinary day. Some businesses were closed (those who aren't selling food, pharmaceuticals, cooking gas, or telecommunications) but there were still plenty of people out and about. Using the kekes (three-wheeled conveyances you see in every movie about Thailand or India), crowding the marketplace, walking around doing whatever. The panic on seeing non-black people seems to have abated (the assumption was that all foreigners could be infected).
We have an option of evacuating in a few days, a flight arranged by the US Embassy, but there are a lot of reasons why it's probably just as well we stay put. We are still praying for guidance on this, but I think we're operating on the thinking that we're staying here.
In some positive news, all my family are well, so far. Also I will no longer teach grade 3 after this year, next year I will be an Assistant Principal (while continuing to teach K-5 Music part time as well). I'm like, yay.

Who knows if the school will be here next year?
Glad to see people here are checking in, keeping our spirits up here.
