So cases “jumped” from to 14 per 100000 people?

So it jumped from roughly 7 per 100000 and now mandates.

So for 7 per 100000 people they decided that every one in the state should wear masks. Sounds about right to me.......

well dang. I’d be scared too.

that is .007% of the population.

And “they”(and many here)say that its not about control.

Sure.

WTH!? What gives Mark Ghaly the right to mandate a piece of porous cloth over everyone's face? This facetious mandate
should be flaunted at every opportunity.

Cases are up? There is an increase in homelessness, food prices, looting, influenza and halitosis. How about we
accept a Statewide mandate to say daily prayer beads for those problems to vanish? The likelihood of success rivals that of
masks.

I looked at Worldometer, it didn’t “jump” at all. It’s 1/5th the rate it was a few months ago. Mostly it is flat to down. There was a blip in the 3 day average about two weeks ago but still much, much lower than the rate in September. The three day average is currently being reported as 1/3 of what that blip was just two weeks ago.

Assuming Worldometer is correct, the state is making decisions based on thin air.
