Dear Two,
Why are there close to zero new cases? We closed down so much for so long, that when we reopened there where very few active cases. (Let’s guess that we were about the same as March 1st.) Nothing like Purim is happening now. Additionally, BMG and other super spreaders are nowhere near their usual numbers. Schools have been open for about two weeks on average. Many at risk people are still staying home. Some low risk people are distancing and wearing masks. It took three weeks for the numbers to be noticeable. And another three weeks of mounting cases to really make people aware of the magnitude of the pandemic. Six weeks ago was lag baomer. While we are not holding our breath, this is not ‘proof’ to not wear masks. As far as I understood the CDC, masks are not going to solve everything. It will help slow the spread.
