One of our localities had a drive up test facility where people could get tested for free with a referral from a doctor. The line wrapped around for blocks and the wait time was three to four hours until they finally were over loaded and shut down. Our state has had around 50 cases and most of them can be traced to foreign travel. A significant number have been in the high country ski areas that get a lot of international visitors. Aspen has several. Most public events have been shut down and I believe the Universities have closed classrooms and gone online. Only few of the primary or secondary schools are closed. All of that could change quickly.

I'm stocked up to stay home or in our open spaces for everything for at least a couple of weeks but I did have to visit my physician yesterday. They had a sign on the entrance door to call from your car for an escort if you had a cold, fever, or recent travel. No one inside was wearing a mask. Gas was $1.87/ gal at one place. In another year I'd be tempted to take a long driving and remote camping trip, but it's not possible this year. The Utah desert is generally warm and pretty this time of year.

All of the promised government financial reliefs and restrictions have been fine OK I guess, but it would be nice to have words from the president about expanding testing facilities and products, healthcare training, and preparing for hospital over loads, should they come.
