To your health

It was news the other day that the curve was flattening:
New York and other US states plan for reopening as Covid-19 cases 'plateau'

New York, by far the hardest hit state, will work closely with nearby New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island to devise strategies for jointly easing stay-at-home orders imposed last month to curb coronavirus transmission...
To judge by media reaction, people took this as good news. And it is good news. But that doesn't mean it's time to close the distance.

It means it's not getting any worse. But it also means that right now, at the plateau, risk of infection is the worst it has ever been.

Go the distance.
