It is currently unknown if post infection immunity is conferred, and if, so to what extent or for how long.

I hadn't seen this article posted yet. A slightly more optimistic view that was sent to me-
I have no idea how reliable of a source this is.

Good chart showing the impact. We are trying to make an effort to order take-out to try to help local businesses through this tough period.

In Wisconsin we are still providing an education for kids at schools.......this will be handled digitally using resources. We have some practice with this but obviously the "hands-on" subjects will be more difficult. Parents are obviously able to help with the work, but the schools are still educating, just in a different way. It's not like all the kids are suddenly forced into being home schooled by parents

Our past due utility fees and shutoffs are being waived. The city manager and all department heads had a meeting first thing Monday morning going over our emergency declaration plan. As soon as a case shows up in our county or a neighboring county, all employees get sent home. Bills will be received at a drop box or online. The fiscal officer and assistants will be working remotely from home. I'll be solo 7 days a week at the plant until the emergency is lifted or if I would get sick my number 2 guy steps in. I've made preparations to quarantine at the plant if I'd get a minor case of it. I've got camp cot and sleeping gear already there. I figured it's the least I could do for my guys since I'm in charge of the whole system. The collection and water distribution boys will be on call only for emergency breaks or repairs. The good thing is the city will continue to pay all of us without us having to use sick or vacation. My wife is a teacher so she is home with the kids. I just say that I'm lucky to work for the folks I do.

That knife cuts both ways, I think they're lucky to have you.
The 2 people in Indiana that died were in their early 60's
This may be old news for many of you, but as a teacher in Colorado just thought I'd give the heads up of what's coming in terms of education. My district is preparing for being closed the rest of the year. All state testing is being cancelled for the year. We are planning on launching remote learning systems the week after spring break (March 30). Still trying to figure out what that is actually going to look like, and it may depend on the teacher. The challenges facing lower income students with limited technological access, students with high or specific needs, or difficult home lives are going to be huge.

We have an employee that has all the symptoms.
She went to the hospital and they told her that unless she was hospitalized they wouldn't test her. They might have more tests on Friday and be able to test her then. Until then they asked her to self quarantine.
Now we are having to ask other employees that were working with her to self quarantine as well.
Sure would be nice if there were actually some tests so we could find out.
It is hearsay, but I heard that they have a whopping 10 test kits for Lubbock, a town of over 300,000. No wonder we just got our first positive test result today.

There are two problems with testing that I think are being conflated. There is the availability of test kits, and then there’s the availability of lab capacity to process them. In some places the bottleneck is one, in some places it’s been the other from what I’ve read. Not saying you’re wrong, just pointing out a distinction, depending on where people are.
This is what is disturbing 159 tests total in Indiana

This is not a fact, it was posed as a question in a non-peer reviewed letter. See my previously posted links addressing this premature and unsupported concern over HT meds.

“Currently, about 180,000 coronavirus cases have been documented worldwide. Based on that statistic and the study’s findings, the actual number of infections could be well more than a million.”
86% of people with coronavirus are walking around undetected, study says
“The majority of these infections are mild, with few symptoms at all,” said Columbia University’s Jeffrey Shaman.
