Either I've been assessing the risk wrong, or my town's mayor is wrong. One or t'other, it's an order of magnitude difference.
I've been hiding out here at home with the notion that for every confirmed case there are probably ten or so additional cases. Yesterday our mayor put out a telephonic alert/update notice -- some kind of robo call setup. The tidbit that astonished me was the factoid that for every confirmed case there may be up to ONE HUNDRED additional cases.
The town's population is about 10,000, and we have 3 confirmed cases. That means we could have 300 cases in town, which is 3 percent of the population.
Sobering.
