  1. So, King Trump has spoken. Is the US population listening? The extreme Repugnicans may be listening, but what about the rest? Thom, my condolences to you for living in this fast-becoming Mad-Max world of the US. I am cocooned in the welfare of my little "socialist/capitalist" Nordic country. We have probably the highest per-capita Coronavirus cases in the world - but only because we have tested extensively and we bloody well KNOW! We have tested a lot, today (Apr.16,2020) we have done 11% of the entire population, and around 50% of that is random testing, NOT only people with symptoms or contact tracing. We are even beginning to test for antibodies. We only went as far as social (physical) distancing, not total lock-down, and while we have not yet reached zero-new-diagnosed-cases, we plan on relaxing that, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY in about 3 weeks. I am 70 years old, living with my 92-year old father that is climbing the walls because he has been unable to visit my senile 88-year old mother (the love of his life) for over 45 days due to a protective nursing home no-visit ban. We are both scheduled for a free, no-symptoms Coronavirus test tomorrow morning, with hopefully an antibody blood sample test thrown in. Are we worried? Not really, we are taken care of...

  2.  @Soapandwater6 , all were negative. Things are looking up in the sense that new cases are in single digits every day, the virus spread is being contained, about to be eliminated. The flip side is the fact that only a fraction of the nation is immune, we are a ripe field for new infections coming from abroad - we are only buying time until a vaccine or effective treatments become available.
