Exponential growth

And why it is important to implement social distancing earlier, rather than later.

Long, but data and graph filled read.

Yes. I am getting inundated with facebook posts from the out west art show, saying basically come on down, the show must go on! I think they are being really stupid.

Houston cancelled Livestock Show and Rodeo. First time since 1937
Maybe the art show crowd will figure it out.

edit: Really good article, ron. I've passed it along to a number of friends who will find it really informative.

jodi, for those who need it kept simple, here's one chart that says it all. Maybe the art show people will finally get it:

Protective measures = cancel art show (among other things)

We are still going out - just not in crowds. I think we will try to avoid public transit, though we have multiple gloves to switch between, as well as using the Prefense 24 hr sanitizer...

We have been going out an extremely limited basis. I've shopped and we're well stocked with food and essentials. Including toilet paper.

Mr WTG is scheduled to resume three weekly immunotherapy treatments starting next week. We think it's low risk. We drive down, park in an outdoor lot and go straight to the urology department. We're hoping that the people who are there aren't the ones who are there because they're sick with a cough.

We'll see what happens between now and Tuesday and decide what to do.

Otherwise, we're staying home. I'm ordering some new jigsaw puzzles to tide us over.

I sent that chart to my daughter earlier today.
