17 new cases today, 83 total. These people range in age from their 20s to their 70s. Of these 17 people, two are hospitalized. RIDOH is investigating each case. Gov staff is "scouring the world" for supplies with teams devoted to masks, to ventilators, etc  Asks people to think, "How can I serve?" For most of us, it's to stay home. ACLU and Common Cause sent a letter to the governor about concerns of problems in her executive order on allowing virtual government meetings that should always (except for executive sessions) be open to the public. The governor is open to those concerns and is working with ACLU and Common Cause to address the problems. Tomorrow she will have an order about domestic travel into RI, and is working on ways to provide child care for essential workers who need it. But it must be in small groups. Also tomorrow online learning begins - two-week experiment in how to do this.
