Update on Friday morning, from The Mooch: 




Update #2: Shelter-in-Place goes into effect in Illinois tomorrow; after the 
governor spoke, Emily Landon, the chief infectious disease epidemiologist 
at the University of Chicago Medicine said this:

As daily life undergoes rapid changes in response to the coronavirus outbreak and the death and infection total climb, a Chicago epidemiologist is drawing praise for her comments at a Friday news conference that outlined with clarity and urgency how seemingly small sacrifices today will prevent deaths of loved ones and strangers next week.

Emily Landon, the chief infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine, took the lectern following Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) who on Friday afternoon announced the state would undergo a shelter-in-place order for two and a half weeks starting Saturday evening.

“The healthy and optimistic among us will doom the vulnerable,” Landon said. She acknowledged that the restrictions like a shelter in place may end up feeling “extreme” and “anticlimactic” — and that’s the point. 


“It’s really hard to feel like you’re saving the world when you’re watching Netflix from your couch. But if we do this right, nothing happens,” Landon said. “A successful shelter in place means you’re going to feel like it was all for nothing, and you’d be right: Because nothing means that nothing happened to your family. And that’s what we’re going for here.” (From the Washington Post, read more here.)

Wouldn't it be great if we had a president who could communicate like this?

Update #3 on March 25: Prince Charles, age 71, has now been diagnosed with the coronavirus. Read more here.

Update #4 on Thursday March 26. Donald's campaign really doesn't like 
this one. In response to the Cease and Desist letter, Priorities USA has 
purchased additional airtime for the ad:



Note that as of today, March 26, there are over 81,000 cases of Covid 19 in
the U.S., more than any other country in the world.
