    I thought you were joking. Sadly, not.
    If this isn't a reason networks should abstain from these campaign rallies disguised as press briefings, I don't know what is.

    Two weeks, three at the outside, and it gets real bloody.

    The second the MyPillow guy was introduced, the broadcast nets cut off as if by magic. Cable stuck with it. CNN stopped, don't know about the others.

    That's what worries me. People cannot handle this. They see being told what they need to do as "being owned." We need to grow up.

    Fortunately, I live in an area where I can still go to the grocery store, etc. and still follow social distancing guidelines. I jog with a work buddy every morning. We went 3.5 miles this morning and only saw two other pedestrians. He and I can carry on our normal routine because we wouldn't be within 6 feet anyway.
    Thursday is my 15th anniversary, so it's a bummer we can't go out to celebrate. I can abide by the rules by going out to get a couple of steaks and throwing them on the grill.

    Feds deemed gun stores essential businesses so, yes, they'll be open.

    Colorado numbers today:

    2,627 cases (14 percent increase)
    414 hospitalized (27 percent increase)
    Percentage of hospitalized at 15.8 percent (up from 14.1 percent)
    Number of tests at 15,364 (plus 894)
    Percentage of those tested who came back positive at 17 percent (up from 15.9 percent)
    51 deaths (plus 4)
    14 outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities (up 4)

    Takeaways:

    The governor held a news conference about noon. We're two weeks in since restaurants, bars, schools, casinos, were closed. We've gone from a doubling rate of cases to roughly once every two days to now at more than every four days so that distancing is a good start. The stay-at-home order went into effect in Denver last Thursday and for the entire state on Friday so we've got about 10 days to see how much more that is working, though it was noted traffic has only been down about 60 percent since Friday and the state wants it closer to 70 percent to 80 percent.

    Cases: This was the fourth consecutive day with roughly the same number of increase in cases as the previous day: 344, 304, 327, 246, 320. So no huge uptick or downward trend in the number of new cases each day, save Sunday. These numbers go back to when the shelter-at-home order went into effect on Friday.
    Hospitalized: Big spike (up 88), but the rate of doubling is at between three and four days. It was doubling every two days just last Thursday.
    Tests: Only an increase of 894, fewest since last Wednesday.
    Deaths: The rate of doubling was at less than two days a week ago. We're now at a doubling rate of just less than four days.
