    Talked to my mom and we think my 28-year-old cousin may have it. Fever and vomiting.

    Holy crap, once Trump told him to issue an order, the Gov really issued an Order. Although there are a ton of essential businesses that can stay open, he really is ordering people to stay home and stop group social gatherings. Except church. Effective immediately through the end of April.

    Here is my daughter. She works in Springfield Ma, so she is not going through the hell that other hospitals have. So far. I also worry about her bringing it home to her family. A good president would have made sure there was housing for the people in direct contact. Or if it would be too much to ask, testing.

    Colorado numbers today:

    3,342 cases (12.7 percent increase)
    620 hospitalized (21.8 percent increase)
    Percentage of hospitalized at 18.6 percent (up from 17.2 percent)
    Number of tests at 18,645 (plus 1,796)
    Percentage of those tested who came back positive at 17.9 percent (up from 17.6 percent)
    80 deaths (plus 11)
    17 outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities (up 1)

    Takeaways:

    Cases: The increase of 376 is the largest single-day number since they were beginning to be released. It's not a huge surprise because of a spike in testing (see below). Still, in the past seven days, the daily increase has been in a range of 304 to 376, save only 246 on Sunday. The daily number has increased four of the past five days. BUT, the rate of doubling continues to decrease. A week ago, we were doubling once every three days. Now, the doubling rate is at more than five days (3,342 today, 1,734 on March 27)
    Hospitalizations: Figure continues to go up. This is the largest single-day increase (111) since figures were released. 294 of the 620 (47.4 percent) have been reported the past three days. The doubling rate is at nearly three days
    Testing: The largest single-day increase (1,796) since figures were released. Two-thirds of all tests have been done in the past nine days
    Deaths: Continuing to go up, as expected. 19 (nearly a quarter) of all deaths in the past two days with the doubling rate at between four and five days (44 on March 28, 80 today)
    University of Washington modeling now shows a peak of 85 deaths a day in the state on April 18, up from a peak of 67 on April 16. Total deaths in the modeling by Aug. 4 at 2,135, up from 1,836 yesterday.

    So while cases did go up, hopefully, we might be nearing that peak. We've had a week where the number of new cases has not dramatically spiked. It would be nice to start seeing that go down, of course. Once it does, then, hopefully, the hospitalizations and the deaths will follow.

    Now he needs to tell the governor of Texas the same thing. He's still letting churches meet.
