People with symptoms are heading to the emergency rooms and urgent care centers. We have infection protocols in place here at the clinic. Right now, our showers and laundry services are down, so we're not getting any foot traffic.

I'm feeling fine, myself. Mrs. Aristus has been sick for the last two weeks, but I assured her it wasn't the coronavirus. I'm her husband, so she is under no obligation to believe me; but she had a phone consult with a doctor yesterday, and he concurred with my assessment.

Hope you all stay safe. Hope Mrs. A feels better soon. Been reading about what’s going on in Italy and it’s rather frightening.

We just got our first confirmed cases yesterday in Ohio, as luck would have it, in the same county where my son works. I thoroughly advised him yesterday about hand washing and staying 6 feet away from others, although the latter isn’t always possible.

Let’s just hope Trump doesn’t bungle this too badly. Right now I wish your Governor Inslee was in charge of the country.

I was excited when he announced for the Presidency, but not too surprised when he dropped out. He was a long shot. The governorship of Washington State does not come with a lot of national visibility.

I attended Governor Inslee's inauguration ball in 2013. One of my homeless patients was working there as a chef's assistant. That was cool.
