Canadian & Harvard doctor @johnbrownstein launched this website to track COVID-19: https://covidnearyou.org/#!/
It maps confirmed/suspected cases by asking people to self-report. Enter your postal code to see reports in your area. @JeffSempleGN reports on 'Crowdsourcing against COVID'
I will say it is nice to see our state in the top 5 for lowest number of cases per M of population. The deaths not following quite as well because we still have a lot of smokers and black lung disease.

Canada has implemented a federal order that all those returning to Canada MUST go into 2 week isolation. You even have to fill out a form with your plan on return and swear you will do so without going for groceries or anything else. Just hear on radio the RCMP have been asked to enforce this.
Canadian police are to begin visiting homes to enforce the government’s COVID-19 quarantine, the RCMP said on Friday, warning that “recklessly” failing to comply could result in a $1-million fine and three years in prison.
The RCMP said it had been asked by the Public Health Agency of Canada to help with national coordination and enforcement of the March 25 Quarantine Act Order that requires everyone arriving in Canada to stay home for 14 days.
I've noticed with the small gatherings of people I've seen lately (like a few neighbours at the end of their driveways for example), most are finally starting to get the distancing message. Albeit, at least some of the teenagers still dont get the severity of the issue. And, some houses on our street are still getting visitors from outside their bubble.
Symptoms Corornavirus is very extremely dangerous. I get this question quite a bit. Because it's a virus no antibiotics will work so the only thing I know of is Tylenol or Ibuprofen for the fever and body aches.

I also believe we do have some medication that could be helpful to some of the symptoms of corona. We have medication that can lower fever, work against cough and inhalers that most likely could help against breathing issues. Of course i am no doctor, so i honestly don't know if these medications would be helpful with corona, but i would think they could be.
I really feel for existing small business owners today, but especially for those new small business start ups invested in new supplies, lease, insurance, transportation (if existing owned car/truck would not do) and other overhead that was to begin to be paid back in the first year. Ugh.

Yep. It would be a real tough time. I suspect it is a very hard time for all small businesses right now. and sadly many of them won't qualify for all the hyped aid that is out there.
