San Francisco “Crushing the Curve” vs. COVID-19 Hot Spots
Thanks to the SF Chronicle for letting us know how the Bay Area is doing well relative to many other cities in the U.S.
Compared to coronavirus hot spots across the country, the Bay Area seems to have made great progress in “flattening the curve”.
Many may have thought that the Bay area leaders acted too draconian with their their initial shelter-in-place order before the rest of the nation. And it seems to be working (for now).
In fact, the Bay Area looks less like a curve, and more like a flat line compared to hard-hit areas, like New Orleans, New York, and Detroit.
Great job so far, Bay Area! Keep it up and we’ll be back to normal soon.
