It had trickled to 15-20/day in the county by early June, when everything opened back up (with some restrictions for occupancy of bars/restaurants, salons, etc.).
Then all of these idiots went on vacation and came home, went to bars, went to restaurants (many of which weren't fully following the guidelines) and now we're having 100-240 cases daily, far worse than we ever were during the time we were shut down.
Both the county I live in and the county I work in are in far worse shape than during the "worst" of it, and yet I'm still going to work cutting hair, well closer than 6 feet away, every day now. It's...not the best feeling in the world.
It's incredibly hard to feel anything but dread in this country right now.

I would hope every poster here with their intentional or unintentional "holier-than-thou" opinions of the average American and the glee people are taking in what is happening down south, remember Witty, and remember that the average American is not a red neck bumbling clown. The average American is as smart, thoughtful and caring as any Canadian. And we should be supportive of them, and not taking pleasure in their disaster.
Which often seems to be the case.
