and grabbed the story early this morning.
I think like much of this pandemic - whether how it has manifested in the U.S. "regionally" (bubbling up in some places and almost non-existent in other places that may get impacted a month or two later) or how it has been hitting different countries at different times, I think it has been difficult to deal with regarding nationalized policies, and that is why they have often deferred to the states and counties to handle.
Just today looking at the community spread from CDC's tracker here (data included through to 7/14/22) -
it has reached a point of concern, vs a few weeks ago when you had more areas/states "in the green", with mostly the NE "in the yellow and some red" (and I think the NE was like that back in May and they are now cleared or clearing it and moved to "green" ).
I know in May/June, we in Philly had spiked to "red" and have backed into "yellow" and I just continue to wear my mask regardless (had my 2nd booster May 12).
And the thread I had posted the above in was to someone who was concerned about St. Louis and their spike into "red" -
As you can see in the "background" of the above, how many surrounding states/counties as of June 2, 2022 were "green" but as of this week, are "yellow" and "red" now!
CNN had it in their "Health" category - https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/15/health/covid-public-health-emergency-extended/index.html
