Tag: Quarantine

I realized today that it has been three days since I had actually gone outside and seen the sun, due in part to some bad weather, so I forced my wife to take me for a walk. The weather was crisp and clear, good walking weather. I’ve now had my exercise and a dose of vitamin D.

It’s official: In a few hours, my wife and I will have been in quarantine for four weeks. About the best I can say is that it doesn’t suck.

After more than three weeks in quarantine, I feel like Phil Connors waking up in the movie Groundhog Day. I’m just glad no one is playing Sonny and Cher.

The number of cases of people infected with the coronavirus in the U.S. grew by almost a third in the past 24 hours. As of this morning, there were 5,881 cases, an increase of 1,399, or just over 31 percent. At this rate, my earlier report that cases were doubling every 3 days and projection that we could reach 88,000 cases by March 30 and 1 million by April 10 is going to end up being too conservative.

This morning, the New York Times reports that there are 3,602 known cases of COVID-19 in the United States. That represents an increase of 843 from yesterday’s report, a growth rate of 30%. I suspect the increase in the growth rate is likely a result of greater availability of test kits. New York State has now eclipsed Washington and has the most reported cases at 732. However Washington still has the most deaths at 42 out of a national total of at least 66.
