What does the recent data tell you?
The recent data tells me nothing. I am not a virologist or pandemic expert, so I will go with CDC, WHO, and the scientists our government picks to give recommendations. I will also assume that the recommendations can and will change over time and adjust what I do accordingly.

I was recently in Bogata, Columbia, and they have much stronger "recommendations," ahem, than here, and unlike some of the Americans I met there, I simply followed their rules while in their country. I know I am a sheep. The other Americans there, well, they Got Rights, damn it. Unfortunately, those "rights" have a cost associated with them.

I am now in Ecuador, and they have recommendations between the US and Colombia, and I follow the guidelines here. When I return the US next month, I will once again follow the advice there and the advice of my doctor.

I am tired of all the online "experts" drawing conclusions based on "THE DATA"
