Again, not my ideal situation but neither is a disease spreading like wildfire through Miami. 

Fungus or other disease. 

New England Journal of Medicine just published a case report of the disease course of the first patient in the US diagnosed with coronavirus, and it's not pretty. 

Since there is no current cure for this disease I feel the need to do the work of securing some sort of care for both parents that puts the least amount of strain on them and the rest of the family.

As a busy person and a self starter, it is hard for me to imagine  as you describe yourself that you would retire, curl up in a ball, catch lots of diseases limiting you from travel. 

NOT even 1% of the total population.Suppose the disease were to quadruple before this is over, that would only be 0.6%.

I know we are overwhelmed by information, analysis, theories and forecasts, but I thought it could be helpful if I provided a list of sources recommended by Wharton.Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/World Health Organization: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019Pew Research Center: https://www.pewresearch.org/topics/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/International Monetary Fund: https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/imf-and-covid19World Bank: https://www.worldbank.org/en/who-we-are/news/coronavirus-covid19Bureau of Economic Analysis: https://www.bea.gov/United Nations: https://www.un.org/en/coronavirusAir travel: https://www.iata.org/en/programs/safety/health/diseases/Brookings: https://www.brookings.edu/topic/coronavirus-covid19/Peterson Institute for International Economics: https://www.piie.com/American Enterprise Institute: https://www.aei.org/2019-coronavirus-coverage/The Conference Board: https://info.conference-board.org/kW06r0x10PK00BWZbS0Og0ZBe safe and please reach out if you have any questions,Jared

How do you hold conferences, go to large hotels or attend theme parks with thousands of people with the treat of a fast spreading disease still out there?

It has risen from 8.1-8.2 from 2008 to 2013 to about 8.9 prior to COVID as drugs and chronic diseases took their toll.

In my previous work life, I worked as an infectious disease epidemiologist.
