Don't Connect the Dots - Less contact equals less spread.

The idea of reducing a contagious disease is to not connect the dots.

That grey shape is WA state US. (not Washington DC)

Experts are predicting we have lowered the curve.

It is much easier for us. Even in Seattle the population is not built straight up with shared doors, elevators, etc.

New York is not a model that will apply to other regions, most because of an simple idea, the number of people sharing a small space.

It's much easier to socially distance here. I live in a one family occupied home. That is much more difficult to achieve in New York where most live in buildings shared by many.

Hopefully, we will see most of the country starting to hit the peak soon.

Stay safe everyone!

Over here on the opposite side of the state, the dots are pretty small. We don't spend much time in confined collective spaces, to begin with.

Perhaps Washington is also better off because the first case was diagnosed way back on January 21st... we've had longer to get this stuff figured out.

I hope so for you also. Here in Newfoundland we are just getting started. Prediction/forecast coming out tomorrow.

In Quebec today we have reached 9300 cases!

Toronto's numbers are still rising... 😕

The big cities are easy to spread the virus easily like in the metro!

Agreed

Eventually the dots will be connected.
