Okay. So the panic is out of the way. Let's look at the reality.

First of all, the reports I've read. is that central Florida accounts for 20% of all new reported cases in America. Sounds horrible, but Central Florida has a population of 8,359,609 (Wikipedia), and the total number of cases is a whole 181. Put another way, that is 0.002% of the population. "Minuscule" is the word that comes to mind.

Second, Leprosy is a CURABLE disease. "The currently recommended treatment regimen consists of three drugs: dapsone, rifampicin and clofazimine" (World Health Organization).

Don't know about the rest of y'all but based on that, I'm not quite ready to consider moving to (say) Iceland...

A nice analysis. But it presupposes that the CDC publishes reliable information 😂😂😂😂. If the last three years has taught us anything…
