“Overall, contacts during the outbreak mostly occurred at home with household members (94.1% in Wuhan and 78.5% in Shanghai)”
Interesting the difference between very locked down Wuhan and the less locked down Shanghai.

NEW: U.S. Senator Mitt Romney has been ordered to self-quarantine and will not vote after sitting next to Rand Paul, who tested positive for coronavirus. Romney has no symptoms.

This is a shame for Senator Romney and his family. It's unclear why Sen. Paul, a doctor, didn't keep his distance from others while waiting on a test result.

People in the Denver area are buying freezers faster than appliance dealers can restock them in coronavirus-related rush

I am so happy about having our chest freezer right now. We downsized two years ago, leaving our ancient chest freezer for the people who bought the house. We decided to see if we could make do with just our fridge for three months before buying one. I think I okayed the purchase after two months.

Our 4 pm update is published. The US has now completed tests on at least 227,365 people, up 44,560 from yesterday's total.
Note that we can only track tests that a state reports (for now). And not all states report all negative tests.

ANDY SLATT....former head of Medicare/Medicaid....I agree with him....

We are on the verge of potential real disaster in New Orleans and much of Florida with the virus. I have no answer, but my sense of concern is high.
If you are there, please take every precaution as seriously as possible.
How can you help? If you can please just do.
