[quote=Anonymous]So remember that the number of people showing symptoms now, going to health care centers (ERs, Urgent Cares hospitals) and being tested were exposed 7-14 days ago.  This was before Easter.  There were kids that went to Spring break in Florida and came home about 15-21 days ago who were infected but asymptomatic.  They came through airports and potentially infected airport workers.  There are people who went to stores then without PPE, but just trying to social distance.  I know from my own trips to the store a couple of weeks ago that there were many people who were not wearing masks and although people tried to social distance, once in the aisles, they were not paying attention.  The people in the aisles shopping for items on the shelves were spaced out, but then there would be a couple of people who would just walk down the aisle and weave around the other shoppers.  And people who touched the touch screens and card readers and then did not sanitize their hands.  And there were people out biking and jogging who were maintaining social distancing...about 90-95% of the time, but would pass by people within 6 feet, etc.  There were people who pulled up to the gas station and used the pump handle that someone else had just used 5 minutes before and were long gone, but the second person did not sanitize before and/or after.  There were people then who thought that going to relatives houses for Easter dinner was okay as long as they had less than 10 people and their relatives did not show symptoms.  Hopefully the longer this goes on, the more people will take it seriously, but this is a very contagious disease and we often do not see the results of careless behavior for 7-10 days and that is long time and easy for people to think that the casual exception they made was okay.[/quote]
