It'll get worse before it gets better, but we need to begin the social isolation now. There's an incubation period of 5 to 7 days, which means people will continue to come down with symptoms even after we close things up, but that doesn't mean it's not working. China and other countries saw that. After about a week of proper isolation, the rate of spread slows dramatically, and the tsunami hitting the health care system is reduced. We may have to remain in isolation quite a while, from what I understand of things. I worry a little about what might happen during that period... while we are even more vulnerable than usual. But I still think social distancing is necessary right away as it will ultimately save a lot of lives and suffering. We'll sort everything out in the coming weeks and months.
