Or were, or could be.

I hope these great numbers are distributed proportionally to and among those who don't wear masks and attend large mob or church events. That seems to be the trend. 100+ positive in my town from a chorale superspreader service in December at first Baptist Church. Then they decided to stop in person services for a month, which included Christmas. Wondering if they'll use their God-given common sense OR decide to resume in person.

Many people have been playing Russian roulette with Covid exposure and the odds are less and less in their favor. Those of us who have taken this seriously, and done everything we could to protect ourselves and our family and friends, need to continue; we are tired but we can't let our guard down.

Stay safe!
