“After the first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the United States on Jan. 20, it took almost 100 days to reach 1 million infections. Now, the country has added more than 1 million cases to its grim total in just five days.” KMBC News


"The overall strategy is if there's no exposure, there can be no infection, and if there is no infection, there's no illness, and if there's no illness, there's no risk," Ali Mokdad, chief strategy officer for population health at the University of Washington said. “Social distancing: It’s not about you, it’s about us. This is the time to go all in on protecting your family, protecting yourself, so you and your loved ones are able and still there to get the vaccine." USA Today
