It was announced last week state testing facilities would close from Thursday until today due to the storm, does anyone know if the state testing facilities closed here as well?
At this point, I dont have a whole lot of confidence in the numbers. I was waiting for the reporting to start to slow. The numbers also dropped too drastically. We cant fall for the okiedole, we must stay extremely vigilant!
