We are planning to leave on a trip to the outskirts of Washington, D.C. We’ll be participating in a three-day public event and could come in contact with more than a thousand people. To help us make a decision, I’ve compiled a “coronavirus resource list.”

The emergence of the coronavirus disease has been rapid, and widespread. All the continents, except for antarctica, and 76 countries have had COVID-19 cases. As of today, there have been 90,308 cases, 3,087 deaths, and 45,726 recoveries. Of the active cases, 82% are in a mild condition, while 18% are serious or critical.
