The President as Bystander: Trump Struggles to Unify a Nation on Edge

School superintendents, sports commissioners, college presidents, governors and business owners have taken it upon themselves to shut down much of American life without clear guidance from the president.

Lead story from the March 13, 2020 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle:

Good morning, Bay Area. It’s Friday, March 13, and the ripples of a global pandemic are being felt in the region and around the world. Here’s what you need to know to start your day.

San Francisco’s 113 public schools — serving 54,000 students — will shut down for three weeks starting Monday to curb the spread of the coronavirus as the city struggles to prevent a surge in cases, the district announced Thursday.

The district was the first of six Thursday in the Bay Area to announce the closing of schools serving tens of thousands of students.

On March 13 Mike drove over to the gym. He took highway 101 south from San Rafael to the exit leading to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. As he waited for the light to change for his left hand turn he noticed a neat overpass configuration though his side window and used an iPhone for the top photo.

Once at the gym it was clear that the parking lot had quite a few empty spaces.

Attendance in the gym was low. Mike used the treadmill while listening to a podcast, then skipped the weight machines. Did he realize as he left that he probably wouldn't be going to the gym for the rest of the year?
