Celebrities, sequins and sweatpants: Proms go online in the age of the coronavirus.

The theme was “Royaltee,” an acknowledgement that while some kids had already bought their dresses before lockdown, others never got the chance and were welcome in T-shirts.

“I was looking forward to prom,” she said. “I was pretty pumped up about it. I was planning on going with a group of my friends, but it’s really cool we can still dress up and do everything we would do for a prom, like doing makeup.” The site expects about 5,000 teens to attend its virtual prom May 16 on Zoom. Organizers are working with high schools around the country to set up separate rooms so kids can be with their friends as celebrity co-hosts pop in and DJs get busy.“It will be really interactive, and that’s going to be the fun part of it,” Peoples Wagner said.

Ironically enough, at least one online school, the public K-12 Washington Virtual Academies, hosts an offline prom each year for the students it serves across the state of Washington. Not this year. Prom will be online, just like school.

New York, New Jersey Lay Out Criteria For Reopening EconomiesThe governors of New York and New Jersey on Monday said they can reopen economies in their states when a region shows declines in Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations for 14 consecutive days and hits other benchmarks. I fail when I get impatient‼️ Odd benchmark. Doesn't say how big a decline or what the statistical number of contagious people per 100 would be when they do this. So it is as political as some things Trump says. No REAL logic Why is Jersey trameating the whole state equally. South Jerseybis barely effected. Your crushing the economy in that part of the state needlessly. What happened to the sytategyjj Bi of opening by county or region?
