Our movie and media Calendar appears every Friday\/Saturday on <\/em>C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> and caters to the downstate region anchored by Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA.<\/em><\/p>\n ~~~~~<\/p>\n MILESTONES | Happy Birthday to You!<\/strong><\/p>\n 3\/14: Stephen Bissette (editor, Cryptid Cinema<\/span>, SpiderBaby Graphix & Publications, Windsor, VT) \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n MFHQ MEMO | From As the world shapes its policies and social behavior to begin to attempt to curb the reach of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19<\/strong>, we must do our part to stay cleanly, limit public activity, and refrain from panic. Listen carefully to what our doctors and scientists have to say to us through official sources, such as the webpage of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/strong><\/a><\/span> or a local organization like the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, and share only verifiable information with others. If you feel the symptoms, go immediately for a diagnosis and then self-quarantine if necessary. Help your friends and neighbors if you can; to be a hero at this stage is to be smart and responsible, especially when it comes to the hands-on welfare of those who are potentially the most vulnerable: the elderly, the young, and the economically disenfranchised. We hope that you can be constructive and creative with your time whether you contract the virus or not. Certainly, it feels like others are deciding what we can\u2019t do with the rash of event cancellations, school closings, and the like. This may soon include movie theaters. We\u2019ll reflect the reality as best as possible in the Calendar<\/strong> although we won\u2019t be updating it to the minute when changes come. Take it as a guide and no more. Visit direct sources so you know if the show will still go on. Honestly, it\u2019s not that important. Concentrate instead on your lives and the stability of your community. The motion picture can be revisited and replayed. Our time on Earth<\/strong> cannot.
