Less traveling slows the spread

They studied cellphone data and found that "Travel in Seattle fell dramatically from 3.4 miles to an average of 61 feet." And the rate of infection, expressed as how many days it takes for cases to double, is about 7 days in Washington State, versus just 2-3 days in many states, such as Michigan, Illinois, New York, etc.

That doesn't surprise me. The county that my property is in has 4 cases, and NONE of the surrounding counties have any. Since there is a big recreational lake in the county, I'm suspicious that someone from one of the "big cities" in the state brought it to the county; either that or a county resident went to a "big city" and brought it back.

"Nationwide, traffic analytics firms say, daily traffic remains at about 60% of normal levels, even as the vast majority of Americans tell pollsters they're staying home more."

That’s whats happened to our tiny Village. Years ago, our village was-mainly a summer vacation place, mostly for the NYC people. We’re a diligent, caring village, really special. It really annoys me, because they’re 70 positive cases here. Meanwhile, 10 minutes from here, where I grew up, there’s 10 cases. I’m sure it was the City slickers that came here & brought the virus with them! Argg😤

Being out here in the middle of the country, it's nothing to see contrails any time of the day. Between 4:30 and 5 p.m., I'm used to seeing a particular pattern that's almost like a tic-tac-toe board. I noticed over the weekend, that one is gone. There are even fewer smaller planes, like privately owned craft.

The only way you'd put people back in their homes down here is at the tip of a bayonet.

Ergo, New Orleans.
