Impressive, considering NH's proximity to the hotspot that is MA, and in light of the number of MA residents who visit the state for work, and the Lakes Region on weekends, etc.

Then again, NH's lower population density and "inherent" social distancing make transmission less likely. I see it here in my own county in PA, where the higher-density boroughs and townships have MUCH higher infection rates, while those that are more rural have much lower rates. It makes sense. Less contact = lower infection.

Hopefully the folks in TX, FLA and other high-rate areas will see the light and stop viewing restrictions such as mask wearing and social distancing as infringements on their freedoms, and accept them as temporary necessities/inconveniences needed to thwart the spread so we can all GET BACK TO WORK and stop this.
