"Oregon has recorded more coronavirus cases over the past week than at any point since the pandemic began"
"Active hospitalizations and the test positivity rate are also at record highs."

2/ But we could use more than limits (or recommendations) on social gatherings. Responsible businesses, gov agencies, school districts, etc., should require & enforce masks, employ strict physical distancing, increase outdoor air supply rates, & employ advanced filtration.
3/ If we are relentlessly committed to actions that dramatically reduce inhaled dose (whether from close contact or far field) of SARS-CoV-2 (it's wholly possible to reduce dose by 90 to 95% in most buildings), we can stop the frustrating cycle of starting & stopping in fits.
4/ Among all other states, Oregon is in a very good position to get to that better place - thanks in part to responsible government action and citizenry in its most populated counties. Getting to the next step requires a bit more than we are doing now.
