In my county (Panola) in Texas, the first case was four days ago, and then it jumped to four cases yesterday, with the first death also happening yesterday. I know this is too small a sample to show anything, but the word I got was these cases were unrelated community spread. Everyone I know in the county (and, I know A LOT of people in the county) took this thing seriously and did everything they could to avoid it. I guess the next few days will tell the tale.
My county in CA totaled 30 new cases yesterday—and almost all from a nursing home! Five deaths total (since March 1).
I wonder what will happen to the nursing home industry after this. Might be time to rethink institutionalization of the elderly. . .but not an easy problem to solve.
