It's been here for months.

It's clearly already spreading at a community level in Elbert County, Colorado which isn't exactly a metropolitan area. If it's there we should assume, as I have been, that it's already in most communities throughout the country. When it comes to respiratory viruses you should just assume that if you hear about it in some part of the world....it's already in your part of the world too. Travel restrictions, temperature checks, testing, whatever do not work to stop a virus from entering. It will get through. All we can do is use measures to reduce the ability for it to transmit and try to keep the spread as low as possible until it's over.

The vaccines are going to work, but we are in the thickest part of the fight right now.
