Nope. Here in the US, we are fighting two pandemics—COVID-19 and stupidity.

Can't fix stupidity.

4th day of declining cases. 50 new cases yesterday, 29 today.

1 death(total), 14 in hospital, Deaths per million 0.2.


3 new developments
1. Mandatory quarentines for returning kiwis.
2. Mobile app technology being developed, conversation with Singapores leader tonight about their app.
3. More testing and contact tracing.

Also roadblocks being used this Easter. Stay at home no holidays.

When was your first case?

Where I am, British Columbia, Canada (If you take us alone without the rest of the country), we look pretty similar to NZ, except we've had 48 deaths. (Most of that is due to outbreaks in retirement homes early on). More than half our cases have recovered. Our first case was January 24, so pretty early. Took everyone awhile to figure out what to do.

Late Feb or very early March.

Something like Feb 28-March 2 idk. They weren't doing that much testing back then.
 

A woman in Seattle who has recovered from COVID-19 asks an interesting question -- what role should she and other coronavirus survivors play in this new world?

"We’re likely immune to this virus, at least to some extent and for some amount of time ... Could my antibodies help treat patients with active cases of COVID-19? ... Some scientists and policymakers have suggested that people with COVID-19 antibodies should emerge from lockdown, go back to their workplaces and help jump-start the economy."

What role should I and other coronavirus survivors play in this new world?

Still no cases in my remote part of the world. The territorial government has done pretty well so far, but all that really means is a regression to the mean and back to the usual ineptitude and knee jerk policy making any day now. Like calling teachers back to the territory from other parts of the country where there are cases so that those teachers can .... not teach live students anyway.

How much immunity survivors have- and for how long- is a bit of an open question with Coronaviruses. It could be a strong immunity that lasts years, it could be a weak one that lasts months, and any combination in between.

I don’t know how the distribution of survivors will be- which impacts “jump starting”- but probably the BEST thing they can do is donate blood & plasma to researchers,
