The State-Wide Stay-at-Home Order is in effect through April 11, 2020.
Jefferson County’s case count page says that as of 3PM yesterday, there were 339 (up from 297) “confirmed, probable, suspected, or under investigation” cases in Jefferson County. There have been 6 deaths (up from 5) and 74 (up from 52) are hospitalized. There are 33 known cases in Golden (up from 27).
The City and County have imposed fire restrictions. This isn’t because conditions are particularly hazardous; it’s to make it less likely that our fire fighters would be called upon to expose themselves to the virus. Learn more….
Preview of April Events
As regular readers know, I normally post a preview of events on the first of the month. The Goldentoday calendar has many events listed for the second half of the month, but for now, I won’t include them in this preview. If we’re given the all-clear to leave the house, I’ll list a preview at that time. In the meantime, this is the much smaller set of events that we can count on for the first half of the month.

A Golden History Moment
I’ve now done two Golden History Talks for the Virtually Golden series sponsored by Golden United. Each talk is 15-20 minutes long, followed by some Q&A. To listen to the talks click these links:
Talk #1 – 1859-1869: The Gold Rush, the Civil War, and Avoiding Extinction
Talk #2 – 1870-1900: The Railroad, the Industrial Revolution, and Acquiring Polish
History in the Making
As this stay-at-home order continues, the streets of Golden have become almost eerily quiet. Golden photographer/videographer Patrick Klein has begun documenting “unpeopled” Golden. These photos will be even more interesting 100 years from now than they are today.
