Great graphics! Visiting even 'just one friend' puts everyone at higher risk for coronavirus

[link:https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/visiting-even-just-one-friend-puts-everyone-at-higher-risk-for-coronavirus/281-0a5d4087-4d79-4201-95fd-9b00ebd0bb0f|

University of Washington researchers studied what can happen if someone forgoes social distancing and visits just one friend, and the result can be a major problem.

Cannot copy graphics, but researchers created a virtual globe & clearly showed the effects of visiting "just 1 friend," then "just 2 friends," presuming 2 kids in family & each wants to visit a friend.

I thought this could be useful for people to share with others, perhaps families whose kid(s) want to visit "just 1 friend." 😳

I know 1st hand that exponential math is incomprehensible. Melts my mind. lol

So this maybe will make it easier for some folks to grasp & easy graphics to convince kiddos why they cannot "just visit one friend."

I just sent him your link to get across that, especially for young people, you can't go visiting or accept visitors during self-quarantine.

We have maybe 12,000 at the most and more than 100 diagnosed, and countless others not diagnosed.

Thank you.

Sounds like she is, with head stuck in sand, or up her own ass - in denial & fearful any truth will enrage shitstain.

Stay safe! 👍

PS - Vote her out!

I don't have any Democrats representing me from the municipal to county to state to federal level. Not one. In a word. Fucked.

Awesome that your Mayor is doing daily updates.

I really hope this makes it easier to explain why kids can't "just visit one friend."
