Less than a month!
Put another way, of all the known cases we’ve had to date, over 1/3 of them have been in the last few weeks.
Nearly 60% of them have been since September.

We've received additional messages from our school system that there aren’t enough staff available to keep the schools open because too many are sick, exposed, or caring for someone who’s sick.
There isn’t some magical bubble around the people who sell our groceries, deliver packages, care for our animals, run the gas stations, drive our mass transit, work in our local businesses.
Eventually, with out-of-control spread, those things that we take for granted every single day will be impacted. Prepare.
It’s too late to stop what is already happening as a result of behavior over Thanksgiving. It’s not too late to prevent it from being exponentially worse.
We are tired, we are lonely, we are sick of this new reality. But we have to get it together.
