was all that was needed. But even if it's a full 15 days, we should then see a very sharp drop in infections starting now. I have a feeling we won't, and I suspect that as good as masking is, a lot of people are being a bit careless outside of going into stores. The park near me, which in the past, all summer long, would be packed with family groups, especially ones celebrating a birthday, is nearly as busy right now as it was last year. Not good.

Too many people just don't get how fully we need to be shut down to get this under control.
