Good morning, We are now some 19 weeks from the mid-March start of the lock-down.

The demoralizing impact of the now-rising cases and death counts is taking its toll on everyone—but particularly health care workers and workers in service industries. A good deal of the false starts rest with local officials who, without guidance from Washington, tend to find themselves responding to the passions of the citizens and not relying enough on data and science.
