An update to my orig post:
The State of CT has backed off and is allowing our pool rooms to remain open with the current distancing and sanitizing protocols.
Currently CT is doing really well with .6 % positive covid testing.
stay safe everyone!
best,

Really? CT has the highest mortality rate for confirmed covid cases at 9.05% (NJ
is second at 8.59%) and is third worse in deaths per million of population, at 1,238, behind only NY and NJ. As compared to, say, the bad boy state of Floride which has a confirmed case mortality rate of 1.41% and 263 deaths per million of population.
Even my own state of CO has a confirmed case mortality rate of 4.16% (compared to our national rate of 3.50%) and 311 deaths per million of population (compared to the national rate of 454 per million of population.).
CT may be doing "well" for a Northeast state but here in flyover country we have different standards. You can't cherry pick one metric, you have to look at the whole picture.
The problem isn't that people don't understand statistics, it is that people don't look at the numbers.
