Only where you'd encounter others. Your house and to some degree, you car, are protected Constitutionally. It's not an absolute issue with a personal vehicle, but it is still somewhat protected.
About 330 million. Even with admittedly incomplete tallies of deaths, COVID-19 is now the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. About 180,000 dead, looking to top out about 300,000 before the current outbreak ends.
You have some data for that? I suppose when you're very old, another year or two is a bigger deal that it might seem. Would you consider a couple of years lopped off your lifetime to be an issue?

Well, about 40 percent of the deaths are residents or healthcare workers at nursing homes. But the percentage is now dropping as the virus is being spread more widely.
Clusters are no longer mostly related to hospitals, nursing homes, and so on. Things like that bike rally in Sturgis, which spread dozens of clusters, for example. There have been 83 cases from that mess-up in Minnesota,alone:

Ah, real...
When Ahmad Ayyad woke up, he was delirious. He didn't realize where he was, why there was a tube down his throat, or how long it had been since he last fed his dog.
And when he looked down, he couldn't recognize himself. Once a 215-pound athlete with chiseled muscles and astounding strength, the 40-year-old looked like a completely different person.
"I woke up and looked at my arms, my legs, and my muscles were gone," he said. "I was kind of freaking out, like where are my legs? Where did my legs go?"
Ayyad is a coronavirus survivor.
Doctors had placed him in an induced coma for 25 days to save his life.
It's been a little over two months since those touch-and-go days and he's still recovering. Still out of breath at times. Still nursing the damage to his lung and heart.
But he has a message -- for those who refuse to wear a mask during this pandemic, for those dismissive of public health guidance, for those in the prime of their health and feel invincible against coronavirus.
"It worries me a lot seeing people take this lightly," he told CNN on Tuesday. "I got it and survived, and I'm still terrified."

That's real.
