  1. 20-29 males need to test, most likely worst spreaders says:

    So looking at the statistics, the 20-29 are the biggest problem. Males in that group are being under reported for sure,because they are most likely NOT TESTING. I have family members in that age group who are definitely irresponsible and most likely spreading. However, its safe to say that suspect funeral had a part to play in the recent spread as well….close the churches again folks!
