Greetings, friends,
First, happy Veterans Day; thank you to all those who served.
That said, I come bearing some unfortunate news. Coronavirus cases in Nassau County have increased significantly in the past week, matching a national trend that's seen the U.S. break 10,000,000 cases nationwide.
Below is the chart for Nassau County:
According to Nassau Executive Laura Curran, the positivity rate for the county is 3.4%. This means that for every thousand tests, 34 people are positive. These numbers aren't world-ending, but they reflect a significant concern.
Please make every effort to wear a mask if you're around other people, wash your hands and/or hand-sanitize frequently, minimize non-essential travel, and keep a six-foot social distance from others.
These are scary times, but Nassau has already proven its strength - see that long dip between April/May and now? We can possibly bend the curve back down if we all work together, acknowlege the threat is real, and apply ourselves accordingly.
With that said, we wish the best to all of those who are ill, and we thank our medical staff for all the hard work they do!
