Uhm... yep. I think so.
I’ve been sitting here the last few weeks wondering how, after 14+ months with this “highly contagious” China virus running “rampant,” only 7.5% of my state’s population have been afflicted. Granted, the actual case number is likely higher — which makes it even far less lethal if true — but I’m using the state’s tracking numbers.
Did your state mandate masks and social distancing? Were certain venues, such as restaurants, shut down or restricted as to numbers of occupants?
Those measures to inhibit spread of virus actually work. They are why, even though it is very contagious, the number of affected people has been kept down.
