I actually believe the lack of "cases" is due to lack of testing. The initial cases here were from people who had either traveled abroad to countries with a known infection and/or had exposure to travelers who had contracted the virus either overseas or in another state. That then triggered tracing of contacts of those people with others (meaning those people got tested) and it sortof blossomed out from there if the secondary-contact folks were found to be positive.
One of my sisters and I and my niece went to the Flower Show here on March 7 and I have been counting the days. They had plenty of hand sanitizer stations around that we did use but still... Hoping for the best since that sis has R.A. and due to that, she gets infusions to kill her immune system on purpose!
