Year Four, Day 261: Pandemic Times, Day 10- Compliance - Please Stay Home

10 days of isolation. The only time I leave my house is early in the morning for exercise. I do Qi Gong breathing exercises and work out with a weighted hula hoop. In the city park across the street. With no one to keep me company but the birds. I'm o.k. So is my family. I am happy to make this sacrifice for them, for our planet. But not everyone is taking this virus seriously. Not everyone is complying with our government leaders recommendations. I am expecting these recommendations to be orders soon.

Look at these stats:

Covid-19 Stats 3/21/2020

307,487
Total Confirmed Cases 

13,102

Total Deceased

 172/195 Total countries affected


Compared to yesterday:

Covid-19 Stats 3/20/2020

277,500
Total Confirmed Cases 

11,485

Total Deceased

 172/195 Total countries affected


Compared to March 11, 2020, the day the 

day the World Health Organization declared covid-19 a pandemic:

Covid-19 Stats 3/11/2020

118,000
Total Confirmed Cases 

4,000

Total Deceased

 114/195 Total countries affected

So, the cases and deaths globally have essentially tripled in 10 days. I am concerned.

Oregon is supposed to be sheltering in place. My family has been staying home here in Vancouver, WA, even though it has not been ordered to do so - for about 10+days.

Then I read about all the people flocking to the coast on spring break. That is unfair to the residents of the small coastal towns.

I am holding my breath. I fear the numbers are about to increase drastically.

Please stay home, friends. For all of us.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love,
