According to data published by the Mississippi Dept of Health, the COVID-19 transmission rate shows continued growth in an exponential manner. It is unlikely to see a slowed rate of transmission for a couple of weeks due to the lag in reporting times for positive tests, the high efficiency of virus transmission, and the limited mitigation on the spread imposed by voluntary social distancing. But it will come. And it will show in the data. We will get this orange line to flatten. And this virus will leave as quickly as it came. Keep telling your neighbors to practice social distancing, wash hands, and just stay put.
