So, it’s official as of today
(Source. As an aside, this ‘worldometers.info’ site is a clinic on how to present and visualize data at scale.)
Eight-three thousand cases, and no sign of let-up after 2 solid weeks of “shelter-in-place” or “stay-home-pretty-please”

We are in really, really bad shape, and getting worse. https://t.co/8MDLB3hXR0
We’re not “flattening the curve.” We’re accelerating. We’re fighting our health care system.
POTUS 45 is doing his best impression of Der Furher in the bunker in ‘45, railing against his enemies and making little sense during daily embarrassments press briefings.

Just unable to focus again today. Whitney’s sick–we hope it’s nothing–and just couldn’t get “bite” into the work.

Some long days lie ahead, unaided by today’s low productivity.
