Beware numbers game: Numbers/projections change daily. First we are told we could have 2 million die, then 240K, then 100k, now less than 65K; about what we get from the flu yearly. I don't believe the propaganda numbers from the Chinese Communist Party. We seem to have promising treatments. We don't have vaccines for HIV, MERS, SARS, and don't shut down with 700K flu hospitalizations a year. Stay at home if you wish.

Open up mindfully: The CDC has provided guidelines for opening up. Unfortunately those guidelines are being ignored in a number of states. States that open up too quickly & too aggressively will like lead to significant increase in deaths.
