Those who have admitted being infected with Caronavirus include Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson and Justin Trudeau's wife Sophia.
Several states are closing schools until mid-April.
My wife works at a desk job (computer) for the government and her department has been asked to work from home until further notice. Other employers are thinking about doing the same thing.
All of us where work will be tested tomorrow. They are thinking about giving out face masks and plastic gloves for our contact with people coming in and out.
Even Trump as stepped over the line and stopped encouraging large crowds. I assume he has had a vaccination of some kind since he has been exposed and is still out and about.
Do your best to stay well and try not to think you need to politicize this and scoff at taking care of yourselves.
