Look, I am not saying that we should be carefree. But you have to admit that to effectively close Massachusetts and New Hampshire because of 244 confirmed cases is severely overreacting. That's 0.003 percent of the combined population! All I'm saying a more metered approach, that did not wipe out huge sectors of our economy, notably the restaurant business, would have been a much better approach.
And I would have guessed you actually understood exponential mathematics. I guess not.
