Everyone in my immediate circle is ok (kids, husband, parents, close friends). A cousin of mine is maybe 2 degrees separated from a confirmed case in STL. He is IT at a school where the parent and sister of a then-potential (now confirmed) case "violated quarantine" (there is debate on whether they were dictated to quarantine themselves) and went to a father-daughter dance at the school as well as a few house parties. It caused the private school (a high school with a pre-k on site) to shut down.

Down my way (two hour drive from STL) they are being cautious but still having church and school. We had a few events postponed, but that was because of a storm that had the potential to make those death-making tornadoes, not the virus (no confirmed cases in Cape or Jackson).


CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
