Look especially at the second chart, of total current cases. The state government's daily reports do not show trends of increases and decreases, but only the day's tally. NHPR's charts show that current cases are continuing to rise. Meanwhile, I fear we've been lulled into believing that we can reopen businesses because things are under control. |
Actually closer perusal shows very few cases in the Lakes Region and NONE in my home town of Moultonboro. Of course, I expect that will increase but still encouraging. Moreover, don't forget that 80% of deaths are with people 65 and older WITH comorbitities. You can't protect everyone 100% all the time. Some reopening of our economy is essential. Few are talking about the pernicious health affects of keeping the economy shut down mainly because it is immeasurable and therefore an unknown but it is certainly adverse.
