(31,261 posts)39. What constitutes "low mitigation"?
The idiot governor of North Dakota though her state was going great, until several hundred people at one company fell sick.
I believe that we either need a good percentage of people tested, or a requirement that anyone out in public wear a mask. The 1918 pandemic started out with people not wearing masks, until the virus overwhelmed, then people were strongly encouraged to wear masks toward the end of it, that may have dropped the spread so low that the pandemic burned itself out.
