The Finger Lakes Region of NY can re-open on Friday, says the governor. This county's infection rate has been steadily climbing.
Now what?
I am staying home until the numbers level out.
I am not a Coal Mine Canary, nor a lab rat, thankyuvurrymuch. Staying in until I see what happens!
I would stay home until the numbers go down, not level out. If, and it is a big 'if' , your state puts in enough regulations to get the 'R' number below one. Then instead of exponential growth, you will get exponential shrinking, and as the death rate, which is what most people follow, trails perhaps two weeks behind the infections, then when the death rate has gone down markedly, it will be relatively safe to start taking a few careful risks.
My county's numbers are low but still rising every day. I am staying at home.
@Spinliesel Smart move. When it is all over, there may be a lot of people who have changed their tune along the way.
. . . seems odd in NY, what are the numbers, per capita ? Is it economics ?
New York City and surrounding counties are completely different than the upstate region.
