Some friends of ours in Rwanda wrote to say that the country had closed the airport, nobody in or out. So I checked on what is happening in Africa. In a nutshell, many countries are shutting the doors especially to Europe and the US.

The link below is already 4 days old but I could not find a more recent overview.

African countries shut doors against Europe, America to combat coronavirus | KFOR.com

Interesting isn't it? Europe and NA are usually closing their doors to some horrible African plague. This time they are in danger from us. I guess turn about is fair play.

Ya, surprised the Bay Area can afford to lose the revenue.

They certainly can not, I'm sure with the way they give money out it's not healthy for that economy , , ,

As of 5 PM tomorrow Illinois is going into a shelter at home order, all businesses that are non essential most close until at least April 7. This shuts down my lawnmower repair business and leaves me without any revenue coming in to pay the company bills, or personal income to pay my household bills.

The government instructions to date are like a light switch, on or off. The notion that this can go on for weeks or months is loony. And not likely to succeed either. Intermediate practices, that eliminate transmission possibilities, while preserving the business ability to operate, are no doubt possible. Who knows if the governments will ever think of more nuanced directives.

The daily update from @jburnmurdoch @FT for #COVID19 deaths and cases (log scales)
US Deaths keeps looking worse, steeper, more marked divergence from South Korea
US Case curve now worst of all, altho more difficult to interpret w/ testing only ramping up now (2 months too late)

5 Days of the #COVID19 -> death curves to show how worrisome it looks for the US, no less all the other countries except South Korea and China flattening; too early to assess Japan's arc
Yeah, I'm into Eyes on curves and this isn't good at all.
