COVID-19 Utah, Indiana, USA, and world
Compared to Indiana, Utah is doing pretty well. The percentage of Deaths in Indiana is at least 5%, and it is about 1% in Utah. I just compared the populations of Indiana and Utah, and it is 6.7 million to 3.2 million. I remember when Utah was just 2 million people.
Twelve days ago we were at two million cases, and 12 days before that we were just over a million.

The President's Council On Physical Fitness And Sports PSA 1971
Given the current situation, I remembered a commercial from 49 years ago. Although it is not directly related, it sort of applies:
Three episodes of "The Twilight Zone" with their separate stories, characters, and locations that were each about themes of loneliness.
From top to bottom: "Where is Everybody", "Time Enough at Last", and "The Lonely".

I will be available to play on https://www.chess.com/club/notes/columbus-chess-club Thursdays from 5 to 9 PM EST until the current crisis has passed.
Last week it was just a couple of us. I am hoping that more will participate.

Zinc and COVID-19
A couple of sources are espousing zinc for combating the COVID-19 virus. Some people take zinc for colds, which are caused by coronaviruses. Zinc presumably can shorten the duration of colds, but reportedly by only a day or two.
I don't know that there is any evidence that zinc can help with COVID-19. It is pretty easy to get the daily requirement of zinc from diet, especially from meat, whole grains and milk. Zinc can also cause stomach upset.
I have some 25 mg zinc tablets that I originally took for a cold. The daily requirement for zinc is like 10 to 15 mg. Taking more than 25 mg per day can cause problems.
My pills have an expiration date of 2012. However, zinc is metal so I don't think that it can deteriorate. Since the pills bother my stomach, I've only been taking one pill every three days.

Number of COVID-19 cases
It has taken 12 days for the total number of world cases to double. However, an April 12th graph from Wikipedia shows the number of new cases going down.

COVID-19
The number of new cases for today is slightly higher than the recent average, both national and worldwide.
The Indiana page on COVID-19
The Indiana page on COVID-19 now gives information about ICU and Ventilator usage. That's a scary thought.

USA Cases of COVID-19
Six days ago, three days ago, and today. This might indicate a slowdown, but it is likely that there are a large number of cases that we don't know about.
Number of world cases of COVID-19
Nine days ago, six days ago, three days ago, and today. This could be a slight slowdown.

The Crisis Going On Right Now, That You Are Not Being Told About...
Not sure that this is really a crisis unless you live in Canada.

Food and Walmart pickup service
I've been making ham and melted cheddar cheese sandwiches with pickles. This is not something I would eat before the crisis, but I'm taking whatever I can get. I have actually gotten addicted to these, but now I'm out of ham, cheese, and bread. I have scheduled my next Walmart pickup to be 11:00 AM, Sunday because it appears to be harder to schedule the time slots. It is likely that more people are using the pickup service.
I used to be like, "Who would be so lazy that can't do their own shopping?"

Is 5G SAFE?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvhaVjpYm_M
Electromagnetic radiation can warm tissue, but not enough to be noticeable. I found out that microwave ovens don't actually contain 100% of the microwaves. You can put your hand in front of the door and feel a slight warming.
