Good Morning Friends,
San Diego Is Flattening the Curve
San Diego public health officials say that aggressive social distancing measures put in place over the past few weeks appear to be working, but they also caution that more data is needed to understand the true trajectory of the outbreak.
“The data suggests we may be getting a handle on things,” said Dr. Mark Sawyer, an infectious disease specialist at Rady Children’s Hospital. He emphasized that social distancing measures would need to stay in place for weeks or else “it would all come roaring back and be worse.”
San Diego’s current doubling rate is anywhere between eight and 11 days, depending on how it’s calculated. That’s a slower doubling rate than previous weeks, Huntsberry reports, but a doubling rate of eight days could still put the health care system in serious jeopardy.

My 5 Parenting Rules for Letting Go and Getting Through the Coronavirus Crisis
1. Our “schedule” can change based on the day.
There’s no one schedule that works right now. It depends on the day, what’s on everybody’s plate, and how everybody is coping.
2. We’re not worrying about screen time.
I know there are guidelines around how much screen time is appropriate for kids. At-home learning requires the kids to be on screens. Social distancing means the only way my kids can socialize with their friends is through video chat or gaming together.
3. We make exercise and outdoor time a priority.
4. Everybody’s mental well-being comes first.
Even if it means some of the schoolwork doesn’t get done, being OK comes first.
5. Doing my best is going to have to be good enough.
Amid all this uncertainty, my best isn’t as good as it typically would be. I’m distracted and worried, and it affects my productivity. But it’s still the best I can do. And I can’t do any better than that.
