Yesterday, California. Today, New York. Governor Cuomo today ordered all "non-essential" workers to stay home. The two states combined have nearly 59,000,000 residents. That means approximately 20% of Americans have been ordered to stay home. I'm not convinced the stay-at-home orders are 100% necessary but I'm not a pandemic expert (nor do I play one on TV). My brother-in-law is a paramedic and he says the governors are doing the right thing. He told me, "If the number of cases doubles today, it could quadruple tomorrow and continue to worsen exponentially."
Here is a
non-doom-and-gloom post: There have now been 275,137 confirmed cases of the coronavirus but 90,603 people have fully recovered. Yay!
As for Mister scotch's janitor saying, "Another beautiful day, eh?".....I never knew he was Canadian.
