A glimmer of good news from Italy today. For the second day in a row the rate of spread of the virus has slightly slowed its rate. It is a sign that isolating the population now for a couple of weeks may have begun to slow the rate of infection spread. Similarly, N.Y. City has gone from doubling cases every 2 days to slowing ever so slightly so that the current numbers may show a doubling every 3.5-4 days. Still huge growth but maybe, just maybe, the rate of spread might be slowing slightly again due to "locking down" and staying home. Let's see. Other states, unfortunately, are beginning to expand - but many of them have already implemented stay at home orders to slow the expansion.
