13 November 2020: COVID-19 dangers increase in Michigan

We are all getting "COVID fatigue", but, in my opinion, the frustrations and annoyances from following the proper precautions are minor compared to the risk of hospitalization or death for ourselves, our friends and family members if we don't.

In the past month, the risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization and death has markedly increased in Michigan. A good source for trends is available at the Michigan COVID-19 dashboard: https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-coronavirus-dashboard-cases-deaths-and-maps.

To reduce my own risk, I review this document from the Arizona Department of Public Health: http://www.pathologyoutlines.com/site/covid-19-risk-factors-index-circle-8-5x11.pdf.

I too would like to be able to eat in restaurants and be with other people, but it's more important to preserve my own health and that of those I come in contact with.

If you have any suggestions to make this ordeal easier, let us know.
