Not for the first time, my no-fun sister misrepresented my Facebook posts trying to get Mom angry. This time I showed that Safeway installed the legendary sneeze guards, but they were not high enough, and that I maintained my social distance by reaching over a shelf to get what I wanted from the next aisle.

She firmly believes that nobody should leave the house for any reason. I hear what she is saying, but the irrationality is strong with this one.

Sure, never leave the house once until TPgate blows over.

Maybe if you live in New Jersey. I am waiting to see how that curve projection works out. Absolutely New York and Vermont, too, but NJ is supposed to peak first.

I forget where I found those charts.

Those projections were based on each state taking actions by now that they largely haven't taken. The curves are approximately symmetrical. Theoretically, everything in New Jersey would get worse for four days, but in eight days it should be back down to around where it is today.

Arizona is not supposed to peak for three weeks, so if we were to stay home until things get better, we would be housebound for 6+ weeks.

I am afraid that it will take much longer.
