Is that the way to go?

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. You probably won't, but try going here and clicking on the different dates in the scale above the map. You'll see how the US is changing with regard to cases in each state. http://ncov.bii.virginia.edu/dashboa...hDW6GbdBdCH-jk -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

All I have seen is some limited ability to track some percentage of those who have tested positive, and that is a small percentage, and some larger percentage of those who have died.

I've gotten a perverse kick out of what happened in Florida and what is about to happen in Tennessee. |

I've gotten a perverse kick out of what happened in Florida and what is about to happen in Tennessee. In Florida we might as well call this the I-95 virus because it seems to be going up and down I-95. It really looks more like planes than cars but there is a straight line between most of our cases and New York. The Broward stampede got us here on this coast. Prior to that all of the cases could be traced to Europe although the first one was Israel and Egypt but she may have flown through an airport in Europe. .. |
