Couple of interesting developments yesterday.
- Trump held a public event where he did NOT social distance from award recipients. Many tea leaves to be read there.
- Bill Barr gives an interview where he basically says the curve has flattened, the Constitution is still a thing and it’s time to start winding down stay at home orders.
- Trump AGAIN tweets in support of Michigan protesters.
- California appears to be in full scale rebellion against beach closures.
Trump’s TV town hall tomorrow night should be fascinating.
Anecdote alert!
On 4/24, an employee at my place of employment tested positive for Coronavirus antibodies. Said employee has been teleworking for 6 weeks, and was instructed to remain self-quarantined for the 14 days by the company medical staff.
The interesting part - he experienced flu-like symptoms around the first of the year, and saw a doc in early January. The diagnosis was a bad cough, which was common at the time. No symptoms since then.
Again, an anecdote, but it indicates that the Rona might have been around in early January.
For the record, this is in SE Tennessee.
