On the good news side, Italy is finally seeing some traction from their extreme quarantine measures:

and it looks like the US numbers are ever so slightly bending down. Like by a hair.  I think we are seeing the beginnings of our quarantine measures.

Quarantine works.  It's how China got their problem under control (and we'll probably never know how large their problem really was).  It's worked in Singapore and Hong Kong.

However, that only holds for as long as you hold the quarantine.  The second you try and relax it, things start up again at exponential speed because that's how virus' work.

Ya... kinda figured that.

Just put them on the ignore list and keep on truckin.
I just wish Hitech would put a button directly under the avatar so I don't have to keep going to my profile page.
 
(But having a shortcut link on my desktop is almost as good.  It's been getting a lot of use lately.)

Here's the U WA site that models the peaks for the country & states:

 https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections

This site displays more than the peak estimates, including when the states instituted various measures to control spread.   I won't get into politics, but it is interesting to see which state leaders took action when, and see how things play out in those states....not that the quality of leadership is the whole story by any means....

Stay home

Stay away from old ppl

Turn off the news and the stupid side of social media

Enjoy your family and appreciate this opportunity for what it is- time to bond with the ones you love the most

- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Maintain at least 2m distance to other
- avoid visit persons with a risk factor
- Dont touch your face
- Stay home if you have any symptom at all.

On a national level  compliance is more important than what interventions you have on paper. No intervention works if people arent following them.

Take this toejam seriously, listen to the experts, they are experts for a reason. do what you can to protect yourself and others.
