Greenville County, SC, is most-traveled large county in US during coronavirus outbreak (WYFF-TV)

We live in Greenville, and the lack of any sense of the magnitude of the COVID-19 danger is incredible. Most people here do not care.

Gliderport - 1973

Scanned an old favorite from my post-Vietnam gliderport days. I have always loved this photo, but there are many, many technical issues with it. So I rendered it as a pastel mosaic, and the result is a photo that captures the gauzy, Elysian-Fields feeling of those post-war days.

My brother is a radiologist at a large hospital in Atlanta .. he just emailed me:

"We had 6 patients admitted in 2 hours last night with Covid-19. I reviewed all of the CT scans this morning and it was really scary. Some of these patients had been having symptoms for a week (and shedding virus for more than that). The youngest was 32 yrs old."

GOP politicians and celebs get COVID-19 tests immediately, it seems.

The rest of us are in that 5 tests/1 million testing range (USA).
