9 new cases in one day seems to be a positive sign. Especially with more rapid testing becoming available. Unless there's a slew of reported cases later in the evening.
I imagine we're going to lose a few more folks from the Washington State nursing facility in the coming days. This is incredibly unfortunate, but it seems to be the reality we're facing with elderly individuals and this virus.
With the more rapid testing available hopefully we continue to see only small numbers of cases reported
