The wind stops blowing at 6 feet, so we must wear masks in public spaces now unless you stay 6 feet away from people. This is science, don't question it.

That is the primary function. There may be some benefit depending on the mask to filtering out stuff. I mean the n95 masks specifically do that, so not sure what’s confusing about this.

You seem to want the total cases removed because it's too complicated for you to find the numbers you want to see?
exactly

Eh! We know the total cases per the graft and we know the current cases....

Why the need to track cases that are like a couple months old? What would be gained by that?

If a person had the virus in March tracking would be moot. The only tracking necessary would be the current cases. For example...How hard would it be to track the two cases according to the graft in Sequim when that data was put out?

No one especially me is trying to downplay wear a mask and social distancing. That is really not the question I was asking.

No I don't need the total cases removed. It's just a lot less USEFUL as a data point, than CURRENT cases would be.

Unless you want to know the trend line... Increasing?, decreasing?, rate of spread, rate of positive cases / test, hospitalizations vs new cases / day. ...

Are we doing better or worse than March (over time)?
I.e. are we making positive progress, or negative.?

Two active cases in Sequim with a population of just under 75 hundred and nine in Port Angeles with a population of over 20K seems to me we are making great progress. What more do we actually need?

Face masks, Social distance, wash hands...


Rural County where I am visiting had (3) cases, no deaths, no community spread.... one month ago.(52,000 population in my county (Callum = 76,737))

today <4 weeks later... 348 cases and 6 deaths (2 this week).
One testing site reported 47% positive rate 2 weeks ago (<5% is the CDC warning level, >10% is suggested shut-down)

Schools will open next week.

Good luck

Of course you need to know the Rn (rate of spread) which USA cannot do without contact tracing. Our testing is a paltry 1-2% (meaning we know nothing from testing, AND we typically only test those with symptoms (too Late to control spread) and have very delayed test results and too many false negatives)
