I kind of want to do a poll. Because, I've been wondering...does anyone have COVID-19? Does anyone's family or friends? Do you know people who have died from it?

[I know people who have had it, and people who have died. No one close to me has died, more distant, and an old guy at church who I'd gotten used to seeing and saying hello to.)

Is everyone in quarantine? To what extent? Are you opening up next week or have you done so already?

Do you feel this weirdness, where some people are living in the world of COVID and others seem to be oblivious...wandering about as if it's not an issue?

That student should have been tested. Since COVID-19 effects the body in weird ways. Particularly young people.

I'll give New York's Department of Health credit over the CDC and WHO in one aspect - they are testing everybody they can get their hands on. Mainly because the CDC refused to let them test back in February - because the two suspected cases didn't fit the "criteria" - no contact with Asia.

New York developed its own test and got it FDA approved. (Although they actually did the testing before they got the approval. And they have not forgiven WHO, the CDC or the Federal Government for delaying that.)

I mean I can get a test through my workplace - but I'm waiting to do it through my doctor in June. (Since I'm not sick at the moment, and there are too many people getting tested through my workplace - so many the system got overwhelmed). The Governor of NY wants to know who has it - and if there are asymptomatic people wandering about with it.
