Everyday create a short list of things YOU are grateful for. Just a couple....on days when you can't think of any, think about having toothpaste, running water, a sunny day, a flower blooming, opening day for a sports team, etc. the dark sides of the force are easily consumed.

The numbers you see now are from people who were infected 5-10 days ago. Stay indoors and hope everyone does the same. This too shall pass and good news is around the horizon if we just stay in!

I'm more or less disregarding the CV numbers till a week or two into April, as we're still operating on sparse data. At this point, we've got junk data and it's not enough to inform any real forecasts.
