Oregon Health Authority releases are providing details about cases, including today's community-spread case in Multnomah County. That source indicates that Oregon's 15 confirmed cases are from: Jackson: 2 Klamath: 1 Umatilla: 1 Washington: 8 Douglas: 1 Marion: 1 Multnomah: 1

HHS director Manfrin says no reason to cancel gatherings. What will be reason enough? People getting sick? Deaths? Can we not learn from other places, Washington state for instance, where only after illness and deaths began did authorities begin taking action to limit further spread of this virus. We have an opportunity to try getting ahead of this before those things happen here. Sadly, I see little evidence that local or state authorities have this perspective yet.
