Today's Manitoba #COVID19 situation, in summary:

- Record daily case count and record test-positivity rate
- One more death and two more outbreaks
- 2nd day recommending no socialization outside members of your home.
If the province were to make a no-socialization rule an order, as opposed to a recommendation, the time to do it is soon.

Here's why ...
It would take two weeks to drive case counts down. There would continue to be some residual spread in households after that.

Four weeks would hammer the spread to next to nothing.

That means ...
Starting this in November could still give Manitobans a semblance of a holiday season in December.

Waiting could make Christmas a big problem.
