This morning's radio report said social distancing is working according to studies. The total projected deaths has gone down from 2400 to 500.

This week will be the pivotal point.

Thanks for sharing that @ECBG 😊

I was just looking at data in South Carolina. As of yesterday, DHEC reports that 18,976 Coronavirus tests have been performed in South Carolina with 2,049 positive--almost 90% of the tests were negative. While I'm glad so many were negative, it seems like a lot of resources being used for people who didn't even have it.

@wildcat fan I have prayed for the entire country, but especially my darling little ladies from SC that I dress. I have SO many angels from "864" you wouldn't believe!

It's not working where DH works. He has his own office but the drivers that fuel the jets sit in a lounge area when they are not on a run. There is not enough room in there for them to be 6' apart when all of them are in there? They were told they have to wear a mask if they cannot be 6' apart?

I told DH to stay in his office & lock the door.
