Cancel culture

2020 is the year the virus ate everybody's homework. No need to worry about those deadlines, folks. All of the things have been cancelled.

School is cancelled.

The festivals are cancelled.

Jail is cancelled.

Your water bill is cancelled.

The Farmer's Market is... still on

Even the election is cancelled.

The presidential primary elections in Louisiana slated for April will be delayed by two months, the latest in a series of dramatic steps government leaders have taken to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.

Sec. of State Kyle Ardoin was set to announce the delay at 11:30 a.m. Friday, using a provision of state law that allows him to move any election in an emergency situation.

Gov. John Bel Edwards' administration confirmed the governor will grant the delay Friday. Christina Stephens, an Edwards spokeswoman, said it's an "extraordinary measure but one we feel is prudent."

So, you know, everybody chill. 

Orrr if you were ever interested in just up and declaring yourself President, this might be a good time for that as well.
