Is your area still seeing spikes in Covid19?

@MommyOfEli2013 that is scary

@amitkokiladitya We're up to over 17,000 - although over 5,000 have recovered. There have been 148 deaths....which is a very small percent.

Yes....some days it's been over 700.

@MommyOfEli2013 Thanks so much It really hits home when it's someone you know. I'm so sorry about your rising cases too. It's the same here in terms of the growing numbers. The numbers really spiked in the last two weeks because people have started behaving like idiots. There were parties everywhere, people travelling out of their zones, people flouting the rules etc So now we're back in hard lockdown for two weeks - but it's just the capital and surrounding areas. This latest lockdown started on Friday but luckily, we'd heard whispers before the announcement and decided to go out shopping to stock up. Thank God!!

@MommyOfEli2013 I know. It's just sad and it's hit my dad hard because it was his friend from way back. Thanks so much and they just keep finding new cases. It really sucks to be back in lockdown. But we aren't too bothered about being out there. It's just that our local stores aren't very good. We wish we lived nearer town. Over here, masks have been mandatory since April when we got hit. But now establishments including stores are turning away anybody who refuses to wear a mask, practise social distancing, have their temperature taken and sanitise. I guess it's because if they flout the rules, the government has said they risk losing the license to run, could face a lengthy jail term and a hefty fine of a minimum $2,000. 2020 is a rubbish year

@Lushlala Oh yea, I can imagine for sure - about it hitting harder when it is someone you know. Sorry that the numbers are growing there in the last two weeks....and there are people being idiots over there. That would suck so much to be in a lockdown again. I couldn't imagine! Hopefully it will only be for two weeks and not have to go on. That's good you stocked up and such in time. Here school will be starting in like 2 and a half weeks, so don't want that to happen while in lockdown like how school ended!! We aren't on lockdown, thankfully - but masks are required in a lot of places.

@MommyOfEli2013 People aren’t honest enough to provide accurate information when they are asked. Hence, people they go in contact with gets it and so on and so forth.

@sublime03 That could be very true....just hope this is over soon.

That would be awful, I am sorry.

@MommyOfEli2013 The Lake Charles region is small.

Well that is good to hear....but I guess that is normal in a smaller area.

@Deepizzaguy Well that is good....I suppose

I am sorry to hear that! That's a big jump! Kind of like our 10 that we were stuck at jumping up to over 300. Hopefully it gets under control soon! Feels like we are going backwards kind of.

@Michellekidwell Not sure how much more we can take!

@MommyOfEli2013 It really does...

@sophie09 that is good to hear

That's good to hear that you are not in the red zone.

@MommyOfEli2013 yeah thankfully my city is not with most cases

@MommyOfEli2013 I think a lot of the reason it keeps increasing here is because of the crazy people that refuses to wear a mask and some people will still crowd together, like at those protest for example.

Sorry to hear that it is increasing there still too....seems it is in most places - at least in the US

@sweetashoney Oh yea, I am sure.

Well that is good that the number of deaths per day is down. That does sound confusing, for sure. That would be a very good question. Here they said on the news that only about 30% of people here wear masks, and only like 20% are staying home. So hopefully they masks there is helping. or it's slowing down.

Oh yeah, I can imagine.....I have heard about it being bad over there.

@MommyOfEli2013 I dont worry about it. It will do what it will do.

Well that might be best to not check out daily....it can be so depressing. Sorry to hear it's going up there too though.

@wolfgirl569 very good point...and worrying about it doesn't do any good

That is good to hear, not too bad at all. Although of course 20 is still not good....but much better than other places in the world.

@MommyOfEli2013 yes it's worse in big cities

@AkoPinay Very true.

Sorry that you are too and that masks are mandatory. Here they are not, well except for where there are hotspots. That is true, seems most lifted them too soon....but I would not ask to go back to being locked down.

Sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear the same is happening there. Yes, once the lockdown ended it seemed to start going up in most places. I can imagine it being bad in Miami/etc and bigger areas. Ours is mostly concentrated in two of the major counties.

Sorry to hear that! Here they aren't mandatory, except for in certain stores that want it nationwide.
