but they're still being restricted to the symptomatic. I didn't bother trying, I wasn't that sick and I didn't feel like exposing somebody else on the way for a test, and they were in short supply in early March.

Our governor was under intense pressure to start reopening things like retail, 52 days of a total shutdown has a lot of people completely frazzled. So she issued an order for masking in public places.

Cases have leveled off here in the city, but continue to climb in semi rural counties to the west and northwest.
