Well we are definitely in a new stage.
On May 22, NC moved to stage 2. Since then the number of nee cases has increased. There is some noise over new deaths. NY Times shows an increase. NC dashboard shows a decrease.
I've been to two restaurants both times outdoors. Karel went shopping on Main Street. The demonstrations over police violence has pushed news about the corona virus "below the fold". Stock market is surging. Unemployment for May was surprisingly good.
Re tracking. I wrote last time that I switched to tracking deaths not cases. I have finally deciphered the fallacy of "Herd Immunity". It doesn't apply once the reproductive rate < 1 and country-wide we are just about there.
Still missing from the "New Normal" are returning to the gym - which should happen no later then the end of June, playing bridge and going to church. The last two are more doubtful.
The level of concern in my circle is mostly consistent. Folks are not worried but they are taking precautions. There are a few that are much more worried - even scared.
As for my projects
- yard work complete
- lecture series complete
