And that means what? Northern states have restricted our travel, Atlanta has gone back to stay at home, hospitalizations are up and available ICU beds are dropping and that's not just a Florida issue. So if your stats make you somehow feel better then go for it, reality is that most other folks in the Country believe there is an issue, some are taking steps to try and roll back the spread. Statistics and percentages won't keep you safe, your actions could.
