Let’s get some perspective here.

Worrying about acquiring the virus is far worse than the poor people who have it and are gasping for air. But here’s the thing, even if you do get it, the odds are you will be able to handle it if you are otherwise healthy. If you are stressed about job and income, Congress appears to understand the scale of action necessary.

As for numbers, keep in mind just hold your breath for about a week. Don’t judge or make any emotional conclusions about anything. Pretend your team has the ball inside it’s own 5 yard line, and you just want to get room for a decent punt. On April 1 it should be safe to assess whether our isolation efforts have started flattening the curve. You’ll unnecessarily stress yourself which weakens your immune system if you “live and die” with every day’s case and death reporting.

If you can handle the news in a matter of fact kind of way, sure, follow it. But if it worries you, or you need to see evidence we are getting control of this to avoid more stress, don’t follow it every day.
