Meanwhile, north of the border...
Self-isolation is now the law pretty much everywhere in Canada. (Health is a provincial matter, by the Constitution.) Parks are closed. Anyone in a group of more than 5 people in British Columbia who isn't working in a hospital or living in an existing family gets fined $1000. Anyone crossing the US border into Ontario (excepting doctors, nurses, and long-haul truckers) is required by law to go straight home and self-quarantine for 14 days - we got the equivalent of a Presidential Alert about that yesterday.
As of noon Monday, anybody showing any symptom of COVID-19 will not be allowed to get on an airplane or an inter-city train.
The Prime Minister's wife has cleared the required 14-day self-quarantine after possible exposure without any signs or symptoms of illness - it looks like she dodged that bullet. The Prime Minister's family is leading by example and remaining self-isolated.

But words can break your heart.
