Great article about how to reduce your chance of infection.
Predictions:
Last Sunday, I predicted that by today, Louisiana would have 8,832 cases and the USA would have 200,000.
I am very glad to report I was wrong. Today, Louisiana has 3,540 cases, and the USA has 132,000 cases.
This means the growth rate is coming down for both, and stay-at-home is working. But we are still not near the projected peak of cases, so plan on staying inside for a while longer.
