They crept up from 0.7 under lockdown to 0.96, so it appears they are near the limit of social activity to prevent increase. They have (with social distancing) opened stores, schools, parks, zoos, museums, etc. Masks are optional but common in most places and required on buses and trains. I assume there is some kind of fever screening and other precautions at work to reduce infections in the workplace. Seems livable for the short term, and probably similar to what we will see in our cities in coming weeks. People living in lower population densities should see fewer restrictions while rural populations can pretty much return to normal, only taking precautions when the go into a town that still has infections.
The question is, how long do you live like that?

That is our status we are very rural in a low breakout state SC. We only wear a mask for the grocery store.
Only close friends visit for the first time this past weekend and that is outside. We pretty much keep a 6 feet distance.
My cousin who lives across the street from me keeps a distance from everyone he is Maintenance Chief at a Senior home. We are very careful with him 15 feet distance.
We did see New York tags arrive into the valley last week. I think those are Coronavirus Refugees. Hopefully they stay away from people for 14 days.
