I just read the articles, I hope things haven’t gotten worse.

It’s spooky enough, but I can only imagine how much worse it would be if the homeless got sick.

Praying for a cure :-)

The last number I saw was 28 residents have it. But the homeless still seem to be left to fend for themselves. I've contacted one and tried to contact another state entity about it, they say it's on their list. Maybe if we all pray together. Thank you for your kind thought. :)

Hopefully it goes no higher than 28.

In my county, there are 130 cases.

I live in Delaware, but work in Pennsylvania. There’s 107 cases in the county I work in.

I drive 23 miles each way, and my job is  considered essential. I think that’s a bit of a stretch, we repair cell phone equipment that goes on towers and buildings. My drive is mostly rural, and I’m second shift, but still the roads are empty. Very surreal. 

They just started checking our temperature when we arrive at work, but I think it’s just a matter of time before they tell us to stay home.

It’s like a slow motion train wreck, I know it’s not good, but don’t know how bad it will get.

How different life is after a couple weeks went by!

Praying for all <3

You've seen the numbers for Los Angeles, the last number I saw here was 77 earlier in the week.

 And today the county extended the stay at home order until May 15.

 I'm sorry about your job, but I know what you mean about the empty streets.

 Don't you think your job might be looking out for your well being in addition to theirs by checking your temperature. But I can understand you wanting to stay at home.

 I know what you mean about the train wreck. Let's just hope they can get the economy up and running to everyone's benefit soon. 

 I do hope you continue to stay well. :)

All is well here, thank you :-)

Glad to hear from you again.

I had looked on a map to see where you are located, and I’m surprised to see how close you are to so many places I’ve heard about!

That’s a big state, and please forgive my ignorance as to where everything is out there.

I read that the number of cases has flattened for you. I hope it now begins to drop off.

The number for my county is 751, which isn’t too bad for the region.

I am glad to still be working, I realize so many people are feeling the pain of not being able to.

I do feel some guilt as I drive on empty roads, signs of other people’s sacrifices.

No one has been sent home due to high temperatures while arriving at work.

Peace and health to you :-)

It's always my pleasure. :)

 I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

 I'm not sure what to say about where I live, but don't worry about knowing where everything is. I've lived in this state for most of my life.

 What I'm concerned about with the numbers here is they are not testing a lot of people, I would like to take the antibody test, so maybe I can be released from my home confinement.

 You are lucky to still be working, and your job is important. You also are making sacrifices while continuing to work while this is going on. Everyone's just doing it in their own way for the best for everyone.

 I'm glad to hear that everyone is still arriving to work well. We can only hope this will be over soon.

 Stay safe. :)

I am so sorry to hear that.

 Ours presently is until May 15. I think it is a power and control grab by the politicians, or that they just want to ruin the economies of the states, and then cry poor mouth.

WHEN ASKED BY REPORTERS BY THEIR RESPONSES OR LACK OF THEM THE CITY SAID:; CERTAINLY THERE WAS NO PLAN TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE AND NOT REALLY ANY PLAN FOR WHAT TO DO IF/WHEN IT ARRIVES. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION OF HOW TO ADDRESS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ILLNESS INFECTING THE 800+ HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS OF SANTA MONICA. THEN IN ANOTHER ARTICLE:; JOHN MECERI'S, THE PEOPLE CONCERN (FORMERLY OPCC), C3 TEAM ARE DISTRIBUTING STANDARD HYGIENE KITS. BUT ARE RUNNING LOW ON HAND SANITIZER AND CANNOT PURCHASE MORE. AS OF FRIDAY OUTREACH WORKERS HADN'T COME ACCROSS ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH CORONA VIRUS SYMPTOMS. OUR POPULATION HAS A LOT OF HEALTH FACTORS ANYWAY, SO A COUGH IS STANDARD.
