Surprised to just read that San Francisco has only had 15 Covid-19 deaths to date.
California has had only about 700-800 deaths so far. Also surprising since our population is 40 million.
I was so happy to hear California Governor Gavin Newsom announce plans today for potentially lifting the stay-at-home orders in the near future and that he's working on these plans with the governors of Oregon and Washington. They're calling it the Western States Pact.
Apparently the plans will include possible recommendations to businesses to maintain social distancing practices even after people return to work. This is somewhat of a relief to me as I normally work in an office with many cubicles crammed together and poor air circulation with no windows that can be opened. A number of my coworkers are politically conservative and called the science on Covid-19 and social distancing guidelines "fake news". I don't want to be sharing a work space 40 hours a week with smirky disease vectors. I expect I'll be having some conversations with my managers if they insist that we all return to work at the office like it was pre-pandemic.

There is in the universe only one true divide, one real binary, life and death. Either you are living or you are not. Everything else is molten, malleable.
