Making the case for social distancing:

"This is an exponential threat. Every day counts. When you’re delaying by a single day a decision, you’re not contributing to a few cases maybe. There are probably hundreds or thousands of cases in your community already. Every day that there isn’t social distancing, these cases grow exponentially."

It is a difficult time to be a leader of any community right now, but acting quickly on social distancing will save lives by distributing the load on the medical system over time. That’s a hard argument to make when you see zero cases in your community at this moment but we will look back and be thankful to those leaders who did.
