44 new cases. Time people started wearing masks again. A lot more than this time last year.
ReplyDeleteI agree. One day in little Columbia County and 44 new cases. Don't feel ashamed to wear a mask when the majority are not. Those being easy going about it are getting infected. I know of several instances. Funny, people announce they've had covid but not how they got it. All I know is that they freely go about maskless.
DeleteOne day of data and you're ready to surrender to the mob? Did you know that the 30 day average number of new cases in Columbia County has been lower that NYS and the US and has been since mid-March? Probably not. Did you know that the 30 day average number of new cases being reported has declined 12.5% since August 15th? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteSince when is smart public health a mob? Also, the numbers are probably higher, for people who have tested at home and not reported to DOH. Did you know or care people are still dying from COVID, including our most vulnerable neighbors?
