Only 2254 new cases today. 35,500 total cases. (1 in 9300 people)

Pretty soon thousands a day will start flowing into the recovered bucket after having it for 14 days. Once the recovered per day is larger than the new case per day we are on the road to recovering. Guessing that could be as soon as next week. I think things will start getting back to normal by the end of April.

Things to do while stuck at home.

another article on how things are probably not as dire as some might think,

Michael Levitt, a Nobel laureate and Stanford biophysicist, began analyzing the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide in January and correctly calculated that China would get through the worst of its coronavirus outbreak long before many health experts had predicted.

Now he foresees a similar outcome in the United States and the rest of the world.

but he says the same thing about large gatherings...that is what i wonder about, how long it will be before those are lifted, I am thinking its could take having a vaccine

That doesn’t mean complacency is acceptable. Levitt said the social-distancing mandates are critical — particularly the ban on large gatherings — because the virus is so new that the population has no immunity to it and a vaccine is still many months away. “This is not the time to go out drinking with your buddies.”

Washington state officially shut down about an hour ago. Only Grocery stores, pharmacies and Doctors offices open.

Good article btw.

Essential businesses as defined by federal guidelines remain open.

Here’s a snap from West Seattle Blog:

...however, the West Seattle bridge is now closed until further notice (seriously). I’m expecting a zombie blitzkrieg next.

47K as I write this
100K by the end of the week, I would say
I sure would like to see some normalcy here, but my money would be on the other side right now

I'm not too sure about the Chinatown event. Those people are F'n nuts to stand that close to each other.
I've got friends literally dying from my church in the Bronx, both are middle-aged, the woman is a nurse who got it from one of the patients at the hospital where she works and the other is 58 year old man with diabetes and having real trouble breathing now. He has a 26 yr old and 30 yr old sons also infected and quarantined.
All "non-essential" workers were ordered to stay home as of Sunday night.
I'm in the banking industry and technically can be called into the city for a closing.
But so far they haven't called. Local banks are operating at limited hours. I mean like closing at 4pm.
My son and I went to the Walgreens and honestly fresh air and you cannot find a square of toilet paper anywhere?.
Craziest thing ever. I heard that it's a comfort mechanism for folks. Push comes to shove just wash your ass folks!
It's a strange thing to have to work from home while your wife is working from one room and your kid is in a virtual classroom in the other.
A little claustrophobic but good knowing where they are and that they are safe.
Our problem is numbers. We are 10 million people literally within 15-20 mile radius.
15,000 cases, 120 deaths, 100 cops with it, not good.
Trump is sending the hospital ship comfort to the harbor with 1000 beds in it since our hospitals won't be able to support the sick.
I give people about a month without working and low food supplies before they totally lose their shit.
Then the game changes for us about going outside for safety reasons.
Stay out of the major cities...you'll live longer.
