I'm reminded of the early HIV/AIDS days, when people denied their vulnerability to that virus and often continued their normal life activities in denial and spread it that way. I am wondering about people now who go to sex workers or have anonymous meetings with others or or. I doubt they are self-isolating or being truthful to themselves or others about their lack of self-isolating. I'm sure there are some people in any area who have contacts that they don't think are risky or don't want to halt or be upfront about.
There are always gonna be some people who will mess up the safety of others, either in denial or "you can't tell me what to do" as you hear these days from some *some* people, online and elsewhere. And consider the 20 percent of the American population not currently under stay-in-place orders. If anything, they concern themselves with counts of confirmed cases to see how safe they are. All of those people are absolutely at risk to self and others.
Friend has friends in rural Wisconsin- family of four, "live a simple rural life" except their kids were in school until a couple of weeks ago. Now the whole family is home sick.
Sex workers and family member is different. Honestly if I was the wife I would divorce this guy the minute I get well.
The President is talking about bonus pay for the health care workers in his briefing, it would be great if some portions of their students are forgiven. I know my nephe and nieces are up to their elbows in loans to become a doctor.

I for one would welcome that being a front line healthcare worker. Actually, what would benefit me more than a bonus would to have some or all of my income earned while working during this crisis exempt from income tax. As of two weeks ago I had a mandated schedule change resulting in 1/2 of my work day is now on the 2nd shift which gives me a shift differential along with working every other weekend I get the weekend differential also which both combined will likely bump me up to the next tax bracket depending on how long I work this schedule.
California ranks 19 in new cases and new deaths. New Jersey is now top in new deaths, it looks like NewYork new deaths maybe declining now. Maybe it’s reached its apex.
