Thanks.  It says clearly number of cases 138 as of March 14th, we 
are16th.  I hope they'll update it soon.

There's no history data.

One cant understand the speed of evolution.  But it could be found by 
comparison.  One could find another equivalent of a County in another 
country where there were 138 cases at point x, and then tell how that 
evolved. For my part, I can only say that we say 'Comté' for County.  
Maybe in other country one can find things.

But its' great for people living in Santa Clara County to at least know 
somehow their numbers.  I really hope they keep updating it and dont 
stop it at some point because impossible to track.

It also seems people have restricted movement there, just as here (France).

For my part, I just got an SMS on my 2G phone with a 2 line 
black-and-white screen.  It does display, it works.  It is the first 
time I received such an SMS.  It is in that class of '1st time' we 
talked about earlier :-)

But I consider these things to be bad things, they make me sad.
