      I've started a spreadsheet for coronavirus cases in the DC area (that's DC, Maryland and Virginia). Early trend: holy moly, that Nile River cruise screwed us over. Trying to keep it current—if there's something missing, ping me. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-dOqXayX9wAQt5XOFyQX8__2VzEVGCy5bGCEmIQuKqI/edit?usp=sharing …pic.twitter.com/MeGBfRtUkk

      The Rev. Tim Cole, DC's first patient, wrote to Christ Church last night. "This virus has left me wiped out a lot of the time, but other days I have felt somewhat better ... the doctors have seen improvements, but I have some road to travel before I am well." #COVID19pic.twitter.com/IDhF4w7NvR

          More on the Virginia Beach couple. Husband felt like he had a sinus infection on the Nile cruise, wife felt flu-like symptoms *on* the flight to Dulles. Hospital sent them home because they didn't meet test criteria. #COVID19 https://www.pilotonline.com/news/health/vp-nw-coronavirus-virginia-beach-couple-20200310-75zefmjyw5falchctgegpr2mty-story.html …pic.twitter.com/zqzkfBwts5

          SIX new cases in DC today for a total of 10. They're confirming person-to-person transmission and expect to see numbers climb now that commercial tests are ramping up. Bowser declares a state of emergency. #COVID19pic.twitter.com/Il4JrcRooe

          Alexandria's first case is the sixth I know of traced to local contact: They spent time with a visitor from Christ Church Georgetown at the Virginia Theological Seminary's chapel. Started feeling sick in self-quarantine. #COVID19pic.twitter.com/hrFTiesgd2

          A few housekeeping notes while we’re waiting on updates... —added a column for advice from officials on specific cases —added “other” section for cases that aren’t being counted in state totals —looking into making a map —tips much appreciated, please DM instead of @‘ing ✌️

          A dozen firefighters in Prince George's Co. are self-isolating after responding to the 60-year-old man listed as their fourth case—and who was just confirmed by Hogan as Maryland's first with no known prior exposure. #COVID19pic.twitter.com/5SsRazNqKp

          Va.'s Northam is the last DMV leader to declare an emergency, with eight new positives (one is the Alexandria case we found out about last night) for 17 total. Six are linked with known cases they're tracking, another two were diagnosed in Texas. #COVID19pic.twitter.com/dqD9aT3HqD

          Maryland starts to hunker down for real with Hogan activating the National Guard and closing schools for two weeks. He's also shut the cruise ship terminal in Baltimore. But on the bright side, three people recovered! #COVID19pic.twitter.com/lQrW90k1OH

          A National Cathedral team member tested positive. No clue whether this is one of the cases we know of, officials almost never get that specific outside of an elevated risk ex. Christ Church. Doesn't help that DC didn't update their data yesterday. #COVID19pic.twitter.com/C0oVgp9wsG

          📍 The map is live. Same idea as the spreadsheet but you'll now be able to visualize every new case in the DC area by location and get a breakdown by county. Like the sheet, it's a work in progress—anything you'd like to see, give me a shout. https://public.tableau.com/views/DMVCoronavirusTracker/Dashboard1 …pic.twitter.com/19KalPtGCS
