Seems premature if you’re in a rural area where there aren’t cases yet. … but I’m not the Surgeon General.

Highly recommend, for tracking good hard data on Cronovirus:

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

….on my church’s effort to revive the “holy kiss”. (j/k)

Seriously, good advice, and one thing that argue is “hanging out there” is what the approach ought to be for a fairly contagious and often lethal pathogen. I’d argue that we ought to be differing quite a bit from how we handle ordinary diseases and perhaps set up treatment centers outside our ordinary hospital network so we can isolate the pathogen in question from larger hospital populations. (maybe use all those empty Sears and Kmart stores around the country?)

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
