â€˜We are collapsingâ€™: Virus pummels medics in Spain and Italy

"Spainâ€™s universal health care system is a source of national pride and often
hailed as a reason for its citizensâ€™ legendary longevity, but the outbreak is
exposing its shortcomings, some of which are the result of years of budget
cuts."

It's a very real risk, especially in areas with high population
density or thin medical resources. We have good friends and neighbors
with a son who is an MD in Vermont, not exactly a high population
state. Nevertheless he was diagnosed positive today and will have to
quarentine of course. He has a wife and children who are also at
risk.

Hope they make out ok.

Been noticing that many of the states that have had very few
confirmed cases are now starting to uptick a bit.

It seems to be impossible to expect that social distance type
rules are going to prevent this from spreading everywhere.
We may need to get used to the fact that the majority of people
across the nation are eventually going to become infected.

On March 4th Massachusetts had 2 confirmed cases.
It now has 1159.
