Coronavirus and the campaign

I've been seeing stories from across the country of the ways in which the virus is totally changing the campaign cycle and forcing campaigns to develop new strategies and approaches in a variety of ways. Everybody is doing digital town halls because, as one candidate said, "The term social distancing is just about the perfect antonym to the term political campaign," but it goes a lot further than that:

• Politico reported on how this could be a saving grace for vulnerable Dems because it's taken all the focus off of impeachment: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/23/coronavirus-upends-battle-for-house-137888
• Slate focused on what the transition has been like for one particular campaign: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/03/morgan-harpers-house-campaign-switches-to-coronavirus-outreach.html
• The Boston Herald reported on how Sen. Ed Markey has become less aggressive on fundraising while his opponent for the Senate seat Joe Kennedy is using his email list to raise money for charities instead and has essentially put his campaign on hold https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/03/25/ed-markey-continues-fundraising-as-coronavirus-upends-u-s-senate-raceagainst-joe-kennedy/https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/03/25/ed-markey-continues-fundraising-as-coronavirus-upends-u-s-senate-raceagainst-joe-kennedy/
• (Bit of shameless self promotion here) Some colleagues and I spoke to a bunch of congressional candidates across the country about what they're doing now. Among the most interesting anecdotes:
• Coronavirus is basically all people are talking about and asking about in most places
• One candidate is doing small conference calls with groups of donors
• Candidates are stepping up as community organizers to spread information about the virus, with one candidate in Texas translating it to Spanish, and another organizing a fundraiser for childcare
• This is giving Dems an opportunity to slam the Republican leadership in the White House
