    More follows...

    ### - 106,000 found positive yesterday and 120-grand today (and that's
    just the ones who were tested whereas 1000's more exist) plus with one
    person potentially infecting 5 others and another 3 days to go before
    there's any kinda lockdown (they's even considering not bothering now
    sheesh) plus with everyone all still traveling about: there's inevitably
    gonna be a STORM of infections over the next couple weeks!

    done the math yet? figured it out?

    or do i REALLY have to spell it all out for ya??

    iow then: they've GIVEN UP TRYING to stop it!

    (having prolly now decided it's just cheaper that way in the long run heh)
