 This is the worst thing I've ever heard him say, ever.
Also, it was exactly one month ago that he said: 
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!

U.S. just crossed critical threshold

Nymbl shifts

Rough day.  We did layoffs of our staff - 2 people (out of 9) and all remaining staff took pay cuts.  Our goal is to extend our runway from 9 months to ~18 months, assuming we won't be able to do a proper fundraising round for a year or more.

Tri-County Call

Question via *3 on phone

Dr. Douglas 

Colorado is 7th, epidemic is likely increasing dramatically, but we don't know because we can't test enough
Social Distancing is critical strategy
Schools Closed
<10 people
50%

bars, restaurants, casinos

Tri-county is considering a stay-at-home to align with Denver county
-- probably into effect on Thursday, same as Denver's order

Trying to optimize use of PPE, monitoring stocks

"Let's get together for Margaritas"  in Douglas County

Influx of scam websites leveraging covid for misinformation. --Be sensible on your data sources

colorado.gov.cdle ==> website for unemployment
- reach out to your lenders, i.e. credit card, mortgage, etc.

There are not enough tests to be able to say (Now I'm negative, now I'm positive) so therefore.  Stay home when you are sick; assume that it is Covid.

Covid Daily

Starting today, I'm going to jot a few thoughts down about Covid-19 more-or-less every day - my personal experience, stats that catch my eye, references to articles, etc.
This is mostly for my own purposes, but I'll do it in blogger, just cuz.

Catch-up (3-18-2020)

I'd say I realized about a week ago that we were about to undergo a "tectonic shift" due to this Covid. I started remote working on Thursday the 12th, but we did go to a small (12 people) gathering at a coworker's house Thursday night.
Yesterday Carson and his friend Nicole were leaving Moab to head back to MSU in Montana. They had just started heading north when I got word of an earthquake (5.7 Richter) outside of Salt Lake City, and right on their route back. We had them re-route to here instead.  Upside - We get to see Carson!
At 11:30 last night we got word that MSU is closing their campus for the remainder of the semester and does not want students returning to campus AT ALL.
Other notes:
  • We heard about our first person we personally know that (presumptively) has Covid-19. He's 52 and in bad shape up in Greeley, being intubated.
  • We heard of 6 people (3 teachers and 3 students) in Highlands Ranch High school tested positive
  • I read an article indicating from the CEO of the hospital in the Vail valley that he thinks there are hundreds or maybe thousands of people in the Vail Valley that have it and test results are continued to be delayed. https://www.cpr.org/2020/03/18/in-coronavirus-hotspot-vail-health-ceo-makes-dire-call-for-social-distancing/

Today

We are late to the game, but we are in the game. Social distancing has been pretty informal, and we as a family today have stepped it up a lot.  We feel bad, but made the hard decision to not allow Kyra to have any friends over.  Lane, the next door neighbor, came over yesterday.  Her family is aware of the situation but has interacted with several other families, and Carson and Nicole just came back obviously, so it is in the best interest of both households to distance.

News / Sources / Highlights




Nicole

Nicole, Carson's friend from school and fellow mountain biker is from Minnesota.  We are figuring out how we can get her back home.  I really feel for these freshmen - just on the edge of becoming more and more independent, and then shifting suddenly back to their parents' homes - it can feel like a step backward for many.
Current plan is that her cousin happens to be coming through Denver on his way to driving back to Minnesota. We will rendezvous somewhere with him tomorrow and Nicole will hitch the ride back to her homeland.
