The virus is spreading rapidly here. We are just behind New York and Washington state. We have gone from under a hundred cases to over a 1000 very quickly. Twenty deaths, seven of which were at Lambeth House, an IL, AL and MC in uptown New Orleans.
We have confirmed reported cases in our nursing homes. We are at risk of not being able to have enough medical personnel to treat everyone.
What is going on in your area to stop the growth of this rapidly growing virus?
Not sure what category this would fit under. I chose hygiene.
Look at the growth rate in this chart: it's quite illuminating:

Notice how much flatter the curves are for Japan and Singapore, and how the Korean curve levels off.
There's a better chart but I can't find it right now.
If proper measures had been taken earlier, and if sufficient supplies were available for the medical profession, the US curve could be flatter.
I haven’t been watching the news much but when I do, they keep mentioning New Orleans so I thought you were already under a shelter in place order. I am appalled at how slow our elected leaders are moving!
I have been participating in the recommended self quarantine which was predominantly in New Orleans because we have the majority of cases here but it has spread throughout the state rather quickly.
So now we have the mandatory stay at home order. I am not opposed to the order. I feel we should do whatever is necessary to stop the spreading in our area.
May our Lord be with you.🙏
