I didn't see that story but thanks to you I read it just now. I will tell you, since very few people read the comments, my wife has a childhood friend that became a doctor and works for the CDC in Atlanta. My wife said her friend rarely puts stuff up relating to her work but a few days ago she put up some report on COVID and the date on the report was February 2019. That isn't a typo it was Feb 2019.
My wife decided she need to screen shot that and show it to me but when she went back to do it on BookFace (intentional by the way) it had been taken down and she replaced it with some other report from May 2020. I trust that my wife saw what she saw mainly because she knew I'd be "most interested" in that being dated a full year in advance of when it basically sprung up on us.

You folks are real achievers up there in your neighborhood, a 4000% increase has to be some sort of record. I know, bad humor, but sometimes I can't help myself. Good to hear that things are settling down.
You have a great week and stay safe.
