“Dire” was not my word - I was responding to someone else that used it.
And FWIW, the virus IS spreading like wildfire - here. And we ARE in deep trouble. This is not necessarily new news.
Sorry about saying you used the word dire.
Why are we in deep trouble? Many states are effectively shutdown, limiting the spread. Face covers are now recommended (for people that felt so included to wait for CDC recommendations). The curve will be bent.
Isn’t this what you wanted done to help bend the COVID-19 curve? What else should be done?
.....”the virus IS spreading like wildfire - here. And we ARE in deep trouble”.......
We just started three weeks ago with our first reported case, up to 75 people now and 2 deaths. Our population is 13,500. we’ll see how this next week goes but I expect it to climb.
The people here are certainy taking care of the hosptial and medical staffs. They have posted several restraunts, still open for take outs, who have teamed up with citizens signing up on line who are sending lunch and dinners as well as snacks. Each day is listed and meal scheduals so you just pick when you want to send. It fills up fast...so there’s lots of people buying their meals.
