Spike in virus cases assigned to careless meet-ups by young

The Ministry of Health reports 195 new cases of COVID-19 Friday for the 24-hour period ending at midnight. It is a substantial spike over Thursday’s 103 and is assigned by many experts to careless socializing by under-40s. Others scoff and say 195 cases out of a population of 14.57 million isn’t much. And it isn’t. But it’s that kind of thinking that created a daily death toll of more than 500 a day in the US so far in July.
