I'm honestly not being argumentative or snide so please don't take it that way - is it possible your area (and other areas of the country who have had so few covid cases) have had so few
because of the lockdowns that have been put into place?
We have 14 cases in our town right now. Compared to 4600 plus cases in the state capitol which is about 50 miles from us. I feel strongly that we have such a low count because of the social distancing advisory that was put into place last month. Our state has entered into the surge period that was predicted for this week and next. I'm happy to continue to stay in place for now if it means not contracting this virus and helping to slow the spread.
