coronavirus in SC
Last Saturday there were 2 presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in SC. Today, 8 days later, there are 20 cases. Public schools have now been shut down until at least March 31.
I'd read that without strict measures, the number of cases would about double every 2 days. That has been accurate so far. And of course, the above numbers are only the few people who've been sick enough to end up being tested.
If you feel sick and think you may have come down with it, it may be good to avoid ibuprofen and other NSAIDs:

But Tylenol (paracetemol) is said to be ok.
Update:
28 cases as of 4:33pm.
