This is a good overview of the global and national situation.

Pull quote from NYT regarding Washington State:

‘When officials in Washington State chose two locations to house people exposed to the virus, they picked areas in mostly low-income neighborhoods, drawing ire from local officials who noted that the communities had not yet experienced any cases. Dana Ralph, the mayor of Kent, south of Seattle, said residents wondered if their neighborhoods were being sacrificed to protect wealthier ones.

Their fears came true when a person who was housed in a converted motel wandered away and hopped on a bus. The bus was taken out of service, but the community was angered.’

This is a major fear realized: that this crisis’ handling will be managed and mitigated on the backs of the most marginalized.

Thoughts?
