(Relatively) good news regarding COVID-19

[edschweppe]

As of yesterday, my town is officially stating "At this time, there are no confirmed or presumptive cases of the virus in Acton." (https://www.acton-ma.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1115 - although I suspect that link will rot over time.)
There have been cases confirmed in neighboring towns, including one case so far in Stow (where my church is). I presume it's only a matter of time (and testing) before we get cases in Acton.

Given that a lot of cases are mild and only discovered through testing, or are asymptomatic, I expect that Maine's COVID-free status will change fairly soon.

Right now, we have no cases within about a 300 mile radius - one advantage of New Mexico's very low population density.

Best of luck to you, but you're right: it's highly probable cases will come to you.
