The University of Texas at Arlington just announced that they are going to extend Spring Break and stop all in-person instruction until at least April 6th.

Relevant E-mail

Short Summary:

Spring Break extended by a week, no more in-person instruction. All events cancelled, faculty and staff must report if they were within 6 feet of an infected individual. International travel must be reported and you must self-quarantine for 14 days before returning to campus. Domestic travel is highly discouraged.

Same with University of Memphis, at least regarding Spring Break. No mention of future online classes though.

University of Tennessee, both Knoxville and Chattanooga campuses, are extending their Spring Break as well. They have also switched all of their classes to online only for the rest of the semester.

“This weighty decision has been made in an absolute abundance of caution,” Secretary of State R. Kyle Ardoin said at a news conference, adding that over half of the state’s polling-place administrators were 65 and older — the highest-risk group for being killed by COVID-19.

Thirty-two of the state’s polling locations were also in nursing homes and other senior facilities, raising officials’ concerns.

My school too and I'm depressed now. I think I'm going to plan to do more painting so I don't lose my mind because work is remote for me too. Maybe write a book I had plans for.

Who would have thunk that watching shit go down in Wuhan in the original thread would eventually end up like this.
