I expect it to get pretty awful here soonish. We're behind by about a week and a half compared to Italy but the rate of new infections still is roughly on that trajectory from the comparisons I've seen, but because right now ICUs and hospitals aren't swamped yet with cases that deteriorated, many people still don't take it that seriously.

They closed schools, museums and restaurants last week, but people don't have to stay home and many don't. Personally I've been staying home for two weeks now except for grocery shopping twice, but even just on the way to the supermarket today I've seen people standing in groups less than the recommended distance apart and chatting as usual.

That's hard to witness.

You've had that icon for YEARS, but I've never identified with it so hard.

Yeah, it's more and more becoming my default state... having an already anxious disposition gets certainly reinforced these days.
