Like I said on the discussion thread yesterday. We are not keeping track of the US situation except to look at trends because it is widely known we are ****** in the US.

You know what to do. Assess your situation and act accordingly.

This is cold and flu season. You know what happens.

That.

Stay tuned to your local media. Not every area will experience the same level of infection at the same time. It will be rolling. There is no way we can adequately cover all local areas in the US.

Take care.
