The U.S. Supreme Court is postponing hearing all case arguments through early April.
Trump's tax return case was one of the cases scheduled to be heard during this time.
However, I'm glad they did this as it allows the judges with high risk factors (like Ruth Bader Ginsberg) to avoid going out in public.
The Supreme Court building has also been closed to the public.

The entire city of San Francisco Going on 3 week quarantine.
San Francisco is going the way of Italy with its coronavirus safety measures -- the Mayor's instituting around-the-clock curfew, banning almost everyone from leaving their homes.
Mayor London Breed announced what she calls a "defining moment" in U.S. response to the pandemic. Beginning at 12 AM, all residents within the city can only leave home for doctor's appointments or runs to the grocery store.
It's the strictest new policy enacted in the nation, and matches the current rules in Italy ... which has been the 2nd hardest-hit country in the world.The Mayor says the rule will remain in effect for at least the next 3 weeks.
In addition, to the city shut down, 6 Bay Area counties are telling residents to "shelter in place." That means ... unless your work falls under the list of "essential businesses," you've been ordered to stay home.
That list of essential businesses includes health care operations, grocery stores, shelters, media outlets, gas stations and banks. Restaurants can remain open, but only for takeout and delivery.
Let's face it, a lot of us have left our ♥️s in San Francisco. Sending loving memories and best wishes to all.
Tony Bennett can still sing it and bring it!

Not just the city - the entire bay area is going to shelter in place status:
OK, I just realized - the CA Tourism Board - they need to pull the TV ads that say "Come visit us! We'll take your breath away!" I mean, really...
The Australian Government is calling all Australians that were traveling abroad to come home.
If you have seen the advisory travel site for Australians, it has gone a bit ballistic to say the least.

I feel for those that were struggling to come back in the timely manner.

City of San Diego - Mayor has closed ALL beaches, parks and trails because too many people are out and about. This means I can't walk my dogs, because now all the sidewalks are crowded too. My husband had to abort his morning walk on what are usually empty streets due to crowding.
Can't say I blame him - people here, especially young people, have been just awful.
Update update: County of San Diego and State of California are closing all public access to beaches, parks, trails.
In defense of the public - we got a very mixed message here - Shelter in place but do get outside and walk around, take your dogs for a walk... They should've just called it enforced quarantine.
Glad we got our hike in yesterday...
The Olympics are postponed until next year. I mentioned awhile back that I thought that might happen, we really didn['t have any predictions on the Olympics which indicated to me that they would not end up happening due to the virus.
Yes but trails too? How are people supposed to get fresh air. I do understand the young people issue, but at the park areas they might have had patrols?
