Ramping up

I first heard about this on Hear Say with Cathy Lewis. It is nice to see things are ramping up in the testing department. And in what appears to be an efficient manner.

My personal concern was that the first couple in VB were identified through testing at Sentara Princess Anne… around the same time my mother-in-law was in the ER after falling and breaking her right hip that Saturday night. She’s in rehab now and we are waiting to find out if they are going to be testing the residents there that have recently transferred in from SVBPA.

A question of timing

Northam closes schools

Unless the information we have on community spread in Virginia is wrong, I have to question whether it was wise to have people burn through their time off and savings by taking kids out of school before the virus has started to spread.

I am concerned that people will feel they have to get back to work and get their kids into some kind of daycare if schools are still closed right when the virus is widespread.
