1. Interesting. I'd have a 15% chance. Still too high. I'll keep staying home as much as possible.

Personally, I'm not about to attend anything, other than an outside patio at a restaurant, with more than 5 people.

My tiny little county is at 58% risk. Since CovidKim decided to open up there have been large gatherings of maskless idiots. We went from 34 cases to 119 in a little more than 2 weeks.

4. There are some weird anomalies on this map

I like the interactive map, I was just playing around with it to see what it can do.

But they don't explain the weird thing in eastern Oregon and western Idaho. It's got a very low population density but both of those counties have suddenly jumped to 99% chance of getting infected? Really?

Meanwhile other places like Manhattan, NYC where there are probably more Covid cases than any other 26-mile area in the US, has a very low chance of infection, simply because the population density is so high. Really?

I take it all with a grain of salt, and I'm still wearing my mask every time I leave the house.
