The White House guidelines contain a three-phased approach to opening up the States. Before the first phase, the guidelines specify "downward trajectory of documented cases within a 14-day period" based on advice of public health experts. The daily # of new reported cases in Alabama over the last 14 days follows:

4/17 - 83

4/18 -232

4/19 -191

4/20 - 187

4/21 - 235

4/22 - 290

4/23 - 209

4/24 - 193

4/25 - 189

4/26 - 201

4/27 - 150

4/28 - 201

4/29 - 164

4/30 - 215

If you live in Alabama, before you go to a public place without a mask, please ask yourself if these numbers can be construed as "downward trajectory"? You owe it not only to your loved ones but also to the brave men and women in hospitals who put their lives on the line every day.
