I’ve been obsessed with it for over a month. I’ll be copying things from my Facebook feed here, and going back in time to find early posts.

The news is both bad, and good. It’s terrible that we’re nearly at 10,000 cases. It’s good that our cases-per-day is increasing slower than it did in the recent past.
I’ll take this as a sign that shelter-at-home and masking up is helping.
Some people have claimed that may people are not sheltering at home. While I can see that as a possibility, I don’t think it’s the case, because we’ve experienced significantly improved air quality, and faster-flowing traffic.

Infections typically spread at work.
The Future
Deaths-per-day are still increasing. Deaths follow the progress of the disease, and at the end, some people die.
