– REPORT the worst news: Soon we will be @ ICU capacity in Riverside County. 20% of cases are being hospitalized.
– REPORT on masks, now mandatory for anyone leaving their home. Good to see social distancing in the stores. The Plexiglas protection area @ checkouts.
– REPORT the good news: We here in the CV got the “Shelter-In-Place” early enough. Seeing a slow-down in the number of cases.
– REPORT that the virus will probably come back in the Fall, so some measures will remain in place.
– DISCUSSION of the impact on the hospital industry. The hospitals can go to 100 ICU beds @ this time.
