I'm struck the magnitude of the moment and feel the need to understand how we got here. Stay-in-place has a tiny silver-lining: time.

Here are two of the better links for COVID-19 history:

A timeline for California's exposure and reactions, referencing source documentation, can be found at:

The timeline starts with the first know case in California, 25 Jan 2020 and runs to Day 74, 07 April 2020.

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy of the University of Minnesota has an easy to use website that can be used to scan news and read published scientific papers. I found this  article particularly clear: 2019 novel coronavirus: Where we are and what we know, Cheng, Z.J., Shan, J, 18 Feb 2020.

Both site are worth checking out to build a perspective on what happened.

Stay in, do what you need to stay healthy
