Notice they are seeing rises in cases but not deaths? There is a reason for that.

On a side note, I know only one person that has been tested: My friend that fell off a ladder a couple of weeks ago and ended up in the ER room. Other than that, nope.

I have not payed much attention to the case numbers since this thing started. It really reflects a count of how many people have been tested rather than how many people even have symptoms. What actually matters is the death count.

And that stat is still plummeting. The whole reason for the whole lockdown, social distancing and masks was to flatten the death curve. That has been accomplished. Done.

We should be able to go back to business as usual. I already have.
