    It’s not the cases that have been identified we need to worry about; it’s the spread by people who have no idea they have contracted it. Hence, stay at home, use masks, etc. Compared to highly populated areas, it shouldn’t be difficult for people here to follow guidelines when they have to go out. Yet, we have selfish folks determined to continue put themselves and others at risk. Likely the same people complaining about businesses and services being shut down. Whether you believe this virus is real, or you still think it’s a hoax, does not make you immune. So, the next time you stand outside a store, unprotected, standing up close and personal, talking to a neighbor or coworker like everything is “normal,” and have the arrogance to make snarky comments about people wearing masks, realize those people aren’t just protecting themselves and whomever they go home to; they are protecting you, too.

    The numbers will probably double each day since no one there took it serious enough to lock things down 3 weeks or more ago. Its very sad

    We have no way to break it down any further than the Dept of Health does.
