Once some states start “opening up” it will be interesting to see the effects after a few weeks....your totals may be in the ballpark while the states numbers have very significant up movements (in the “free” states) and down movements in the “slave” ;-) states.

‘we’ are opening up monday.

It’s why ‘we’ are restocking this week/weekend.

Even if hubby has to go back in to the office, we will avoid unnecessary trips elsewhere and be germed on.

Agree. Watch the case rates, if "they" allow true statistics to be known, an increase in deaths will soon follow after an uptick in cases, barring a cure.

True, in a steady-state system. Here, increase the cases and deaths will lag but follow, so eventually both will rise for every state, and the entire nation. I look for governments to start faking the numbers if they reflect negatively on those in power. Or, on the other hand, to keep Trump from winning a second term.
