Watching the number of hospitalizations and deaths would probably
give the clearest indication. Statistics on the results of tests
is misleading. Relaxing of precautions, riots, and demonstrations
are likely causing some spikeing in the numbers. JMHO.

That's true but you have to catch it in order to be hospitalized or
die from it.

My goal for Mrs.E. and I has been not to catch it in the first place.
If we were younger, I might feel otherwise if catching it and
recovering gives some natural immunity, but the experts are still
debating that.

So, to me, the number or increase of confirmed cases in the general area
we live has been more important. The little town we are ub has had
something like 48 cases and 4 deaths. For the past week there have been
no more reported cases which is sorta following the county and overall
state trends.

Hoping this gets over-with.
