I keep thinking that I need to start an official Google doc for my bubble, where every person puts all their contacts in and we all see the true size of it.
But then I would have to acknowledge having a bubble, and tomorrow, it's just husband.

It seriously unnerves me when I see people thinking about their bubble as only the people they personally contact. That's not a bubble. A lot of the US has never had a bubble, just a thinner net.
So, yeah, I totally need to start a doc for when we're on the other side of this. Even when case spread is back down to what it was in mid-March, we need to be tracking our contacts.
I'm sure my followers already know this, but we (the public) need to reconsider how we're looking at the data.
When cases per day start going down, THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING FOR HOW WE OPERATE OUR LIVES. That is not an appropriate metric.

For where we are, a decrease in new cases per day is still uncontrolled spread. Maybe less uncontrolled before but still orders of magnitude away from safe.
We need to look at the number, not the change in the number, to tell when it's safe to change our habits.

Ohio has been having 8,000 new cases per day. I will consider changing my habits when it's around 50. Maybe.
