It's hard to think or talk about anything else right now outside of COVID-19. Travel from Europe has been suspended, classes at the U of M are moving online, the NBA has been suspended, and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson tested positive for the virus.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that are in the spirit of safety, caution, preparation, and sensibility?
