Good luck with that because Connecticut still has a high rate of infection and people are not going to want to go back out anywhere with in Risk being infected. You really think people are stupid? You can't force people.

Good luck paying your bills if you aren’t retired, wealthy or can’t work from home when the economy re-opens and you decide to just stay home. If you think the government or businesses are going to keep paying you to stay home until there is a vaccine then you’ll probably be disappointed.

Updated::


Not only Bridgeort surpasses 1000, within a Population of 144,000, but New Haven now jumps into 3rd and bumps Norwalk down to 4th most.




Another drop for new hospitalizations. Lowest since March 26th again. The 10 day moving average catching up to the 5 because of that spike yesterday but the trend is DOWN!





As always, let me know if you wanna see another city.


Greenwich. Good job... flatten it! Hasn't been an increase of over 6% from prior day in a week now.

And gyms??? Body fluid, huffing and puffing central. There are only a few places that I can think of that would be worse to reopen.

You can't pay your bills if your dead and most companies are not going to risk being like Smithfield. They are shut down now because they stupidly tried to stay open in a pandemic. You can't be open if all your employees are sick or dead. What part of that don't you get?

They usually update it each day here. https://portal.ct.gov/Coronavirus

Click on Test Data pdf

Interesting perspective is 6,876 people under the age 50 have the virus and only 54 died under 50yrs old.

Meanwhile 3,211 people 70yrs + have the virus and 757 died 70yrs+
