9. A judge in our community just returned from Italy

on Sunday - i.e. well into crisis time there. I don't know if they checked her at the airport - BUT - she is self-quarantined on her own initiative because she got a text from her daughter (living in France - who met with them in Italy) who is now ill with fever, chills, etc. She reached out to the board of health (my spouse is on the board), they scrambled to find guidance - because they had been given none by the state or the CDC.

A half day later, they recommended she self-quarantine for 14 days from their last contact with their daughter (not their last day in Italy).

When she emerges6 days from now (8 days from being in Italy), as a member of the legal community who teaches students who go through her courtroom (and courthouse) daily, I will likely be one handshake away from exposure.
