  1. 374 new cases… but only 151 active???!! This is like doing homeschool math with my 6th grader…it’s a circus! And how are the 4 Total in the ICU…which would be lowest since they started reporting…not critical? Did someone hit the “send” button at Public Health without well…proofreading or thinking?
