Getting together with my sister and her kids at a park tomorrow. Hope there isn't anybody else around but on a nice April day in the 60s... not likely.

Minimizing your time going out is one thing, but no way I'm staying inside at all times for the next month (or probably longer). I will start wearing a mask... if I can find any. Otherwise will have to improvise.

How have you guys changed your habits during this? I keep hand sanitizer in my car. I always change my clothes right after coming home. I disinfect my phone way more than I used to. One thing I don't really do is wipe down groceries and other items so I guess I haven't reached a 10 out of 10 on the paranoia scale yet

Can't he just bypass the legislature? In Ohio I think the public health commissioner (or whatever the title is) stepped in and basically said we're not having this election because of the public health hazard.

Swore I was in the coronavirus thread lol

Why in the world is Wisconsin still planning on voting next Tuesday?
-
No surprise Indiana schools cancelled for the rest of the school year.
-
Good point
-
Indiana over 3000 confirmed now. Deaths steadily rising but fortunately not really accelerating... yet.

I don't see how it's going to affect chasing in a big way unless out of state travel gets banned. Perhaps the biggest concern is if law enforcement catches you outside of your vehicle filming/taking pics, but even then, they would probably just tell you to go home.

Was reading something sobering a little while ago about how covid-19 may become the leading cause of death in the US for a period of time pretty soon. Heart disease is #1 with over 1700 deaths per day on average.
-
The onslaught of fatalities and still less than ideal testing capacity has pushed the US confirmed case fatality rate up to near 2.5%. No, it's almost certainly not the real fatality rate from this illness, but that percentage will keep going up unless we start testing at a much faster rate than we are now.
-
Ohio didn't really close stuff much earlier than the other states. I think there are probably multiple reasons for why it hasn't been as bad there. Cancelling the primary is likely a factor. From the link I posted earlier today...
-
Disturbing that we are at or over the top end model projections for US deaths at this point. Worldometers has over 1000 today.
-
At least it would take our minds off the coronavirus.

For sure. The Cook county deaths jumped out at me. 2/3 of the total deaths in Illinois have been there so the percentage from today's update (35/42) is even higher. Little ways out into the future but I am a bit concerned about what happens if Lake county IN were to open back up before Illinois does. May have people spilling over the border to go to the beaches, etc.
-
35 of the 42 new deaths in Illinois are in Cook county. Yikes
-
And 78 more deaths

Article comparing what states in the region have done, and also some thoughts about why Michigan is getting hit so hard: https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-health-watch/why-did-coronavirus-spread-so-fast-michigan-compared-neighbors

Another thing is that people who live together pass it on to each other, accounting for some percentage of new cases.
-
fwiw, this woman passed away earlier today. So she lasted about 3 weeks after becoming symptomatic. She was really ravaged by it... I mean it goes without saying but her husband was posting frequent updates and according to him they weren't even able to detect any brain activity toward the end.

This ain't a movie man.

A town around here already cancelled their July 4 parade and fireworks.

Pretty big earthquake just hit Idaho.
