Our (Netherlands) Prime Minister just gave a speech.
Almost everybody will get this virus the coming year. Controlled spread for building group immunity is our strategie. I think this will soon be the strategy of all western countries.

You wanna know why we don't hear from people who have recovered? This is why.
“For those of you who don’t know, I was patient zero in Tennessee,” Baumgartner said. “That’s right, I’m the 44-year-old dad in Williamson County, who has a son at BGA, works for Biogen, and has two family ‘contacts’ living in my household … who really needs HIPAA anyway, right?”
After receiving countless questions about his experience, Baumgartner decided he wanted to post about it to social media.
“Physically, my case was on the mild end of the spectrum, and I continue to recover,” he wrote. “Mentally, our experience has been all over the board. Imagine having to confront a virus, so feared, it now has the entire world on the brink of mass hysteria, while at the same time, being forced to deal with irrational panic, people demanding to know if you are the ‘one,’ where you live, and if you might have somehow infected their child or family.”
Baumgartner said the experience gave him “a whole new appreciation for those who live under the cloud of Stigma every single day of their lives. If this is you, Please know, you are not alone. We are here for you!”
People are not what you want to deal with while dealing with your own worries and being sick, but his experience has been that that's what you do go through. I don't blame any of these people for not wanting to deal with it while they're getting over it.

Big changes today in Kansas City area...
All the schools are cancelled for the next three weeks.
No gatherings of more than 10 people (as expected)
All restaurants are to close unless they can server drive-thru, carry-out, or delivery.
While the usual supplies of hoarders in local grocery stores are pretty much empty shelves, there is still a lot of food. Maybe not always your preference, but there is plenty.
Wife worked from home today, she loved it. The kids are excited and sad about the school cancellation (I have one senior who isn't happy at all), and so it should be fun.

I have an update.
I just tried to pay my credit card and it is not working.
Tried calling and online. No person to answer phone.
Got ahold of them on FB chat and they said to use the online option. The online option is down also.
I think it is a bad day when you cant even give the credit card company any money.
Now what?
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man in his late 90s is the first death from COVID-19 in Texas, according to Matagorda County officials. He died Sunday evening at Matagorda Regional Medical Center with symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Later on Monday, hospital officials received confirmation that he tested positive. He was a resident of the county, officials said, and they are investigating a possible community link to an earlier positive case in the county. That case was a woman in her 60s.

“We have serious cases also amid adults and let me remind you that more than 50% of people in intensive care are under 60," Jerome Salomon said at a news conference on Saturday.
The patient who died worked as a substitute teacher in the Sacramento City Unified School District, the district said in a statement Monday. They were older than 70 years old and had underlying health issues, according to a news release from county public health officials.
