Numbers update, for posterity: 17,610 infected as of right this minute and the deaths are mounting daily. State of NY, CA, IL and I think OH are all in lockdown – meaning residents are to stay home except for grocery store, to pick up medications, and necessary medical visits. They can go outside for exercise …
Numbers wise I am really hoping we are close to peaking but I’m fearful we aren’t there yet. Up 40% from yesterday and we were at close to 9K last time I checked and the deaths are sadly going up a well. But here we are trying to stay positive! I’m continuing to work hard …
