We are seeing this jump because:
a. Most people are continuing with life, birthday parties, going out to eat, and so forth
b. Halloween was a big party weekend
c. Masks and ‘face coverings’ as implemented are not working
d. This virus is spread mostly by ‘super spreaders’ not 1 to n.
More employers are doing mandatory testing on employees. All employees.
That’ll goose the stats, too.
This is proof that masks do not work.
