Keeping our Distance

We are now day 14 of the State of Emergency.  It was extended until Easter, but looking at the 'new cases in Peru' graph makes me think we won't be getting out of this that soon.  We're playing lots of board games and doing telemedicine, just like my doctor colleagues in the USA.Everyone gives others a wide berth (unusual for this culture where personal space is usually much smaller!) while waiting in line to go into our neighborhood store.

Unfortunately, our new cases continue to rise exponentially despite the quarantine efforts.  Though it would probably be even worse without them.
