Summary
Florida has now passed New York in total known coronavirus cases, making it the second worst-hit state behind California which is nearly twice its size. In Europe, the UK is imposing a two week quarantine on anyone who’s been in Spain after an uptick in virus spread there.

And in headlines: the 30th anniversary of the ADA, a reduced-capacity Hajj, and more info on a government UFO program.
