Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the various plans they've had to cancel, as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak. As time passes on by, pretty much everything as we know it seems to be getting cancelled. It's a strange time, and the futility of planning has never been felt more painfully. Everyone stay safe out there, and wash those hands!

    Text - Alfheim • 12h My career potentially. Three months left on my Masters. But Libraries are shutting down and beyond that are unlikely to be hiring as we enter a recession. The housing crisis is what put me off going sooner and I could not have timed this worse. Scared I will never get to feel like a real adult.

    Text - gaurav0224 • 13h I had planned to go to a friend's daughter wedding in a city a short flight away. In three days it will be 5 weeks after the surgery. It has not been as smooth as I thought : wife had a vaginal and urinary track infections, lots of problems with HRT ( they took both ovaries) I made the reservations months ago, so yesterday we walked in the park for an hour, and gave a class ( sitting / standing) for 2.5 hours thinking this was a trial run for the activities.

    Text - SavannahlnChicago • 13h Bringing a friend of mine to Europe for the first time. We were going to spend a few days in Krakow, then had a layover in London. I could not wait to see how excited she was going to be when we finally got there. She does do a lot for herself and she deserves it. However, all the refund from this trip will probably help my credit score do theirs that.

It just really hurts because we'd been counting down to see each other for so long, and I ended up having to cancel my trip THE DAY BEFORE :(

We all live several to 12 hours apart, making visits few and far between. I'm the only one to cancel, too. I wonder if it was the right call. They're kind of annoyed with me over it. If it were just me, l'd probably have taken the risk but my partner is older, a common cold takes a toll on him. He definitely needs to put off getting this virus as long as p

    Text - Corinne_College • 13h So l'm a senior who has been waiting my whole life for my second semester, which is the best part of high school because it's all a giant party. On Friday afternoon, during our final block (what was probably my last day there) our governor announced that he would not be closing schools. Sunday morning, he changed his mind. I'll never get to attend prom or have a High School Graduation Ceremony or my Grad party. I won't get to walk through my old elementary school, sa

    Text - Midnight_Moon29 • 13h Not plans that I canceled, but plans that were canceled on me. I had been looking forward to a hysterectomy since January. I have fibroids and have tried many options to get relief and nothing has worked, so hysterectomy was the way to go. I got a phone call from the doctor on Monday saying the surgery is considered elective and according to the CDC elective surgies need to be canceled. I have no idea when this will be "lifted."

    Text - pyrotech33 • 13h I was going to have my next belt test for Taekwondo this week. I have major depression and going to these classes had been one of the first things that I actually found joy in in a long time. Like, I finally have something to look forward to besides just going to work all the time. Now I'm back to going to work all the time.

    Text - jailbait4200 • 12h Everything. I'm a high school student just outside of SF, and pretty much my entire life is in turmoil. My school's cancelled for the next month, and since not enough kids in my district have Internet access at home the teachers can't take attendance or enforce any work, meaning I have no classes. My SAT got cancelled last minute, and then the makeup sat got post poned and now the may ones are cancelled too. I was supposed to go college touring over spring break but l'm

    Text - sweetsummerchild97 • 13h I have a flight to visit my grandmom's hometown this Friday to see her last living sibling. My grandmom ran away when she was a teen. Thanks to social media, we managed to locate her family in 2017, though it's sad cause gran died in 2004. We immediately booked a flight to see them that year. I was able to meet 4 out of 16 of her siblings. That same year, I flew to work in the US. 2018 came and her 3 brothers passed. I was really devastated that is why I promised
