The circle is closing in.

A bank teller at my bank had COVID, now a co-worker and his family has it.

3. A bank teller is part of your circle?

[roamer65]

4. I bank regular there.

The teller I am not so much worried about. My co-worker is an active case and I was around him one week back.


I am under self quarantine for 7 more days now.

6. As I figure it, we will most likely all be infected before this is over . . .

What we're striving for throughout this ordeal is to slow the spread so we don't overwhelm the hospitals. If we can do that, we'll have a chance of getting through this with as few deaths as possible.

7. The actual number likely greatly exceeds the 5 million or so confirmed

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the actual number 20 times higher than that. The CDC has said the actual rate of infection could be up to 23 times higher than reported cases. If that’s true then about 1/3 of the country has already been infected.
