Yeah, I guess it does look like it’s getting worse. I think it’s becoming more and more clear – or at least should be, to those for whom it hasn’t been obvious all along – that what we are doing is not working. For the life of me I can’t figure out why some places are doubling down on it. How much is California contributing to that caseload, with their new curfews and such? How about Illinois and New York, with all their closures? It’s just…not…working.
