Keeping up with the news that seems to change by the minute regarding the spread of the coronavirus, and its pervasive and potentially deadly effects, has become something of a daunting challenge. Just today, Canada shut its border. US political leaders have started debating the feasibility of some kind of national lockdown. The number of confirmed cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection has surpassed 181,500 globally, and even a prominent Fox News on-air personality who was as of this past weekend still downplaying the virus has since reversed course. Meanwhile, officials are slowly ramping up the availability of tests for the virus, which will help cases and infected people be tracked — a very good thing, since as the World Health Organization director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said today, “You cannot fight a fire blindfolded.”
