Day 282: Man Walks Dog

We are not alone in our nonsensical nocturnal COVID curfew. In Czechia, a man was caught walking a stuffed dog as a way around their 9pm curfew. Upon being caught, he claimed to be joking and was let off with a warning.

Massachusetts cases are up one percent today.

Some locals are annoyed that, for this week's cities and towns report, the Commonwealth has defined "red" down to the point that not every town in the state is red, so the map is still marginally useful for detecting hot spots. Out of respect for these incensed innumerates, PlagueBlog has used the same color scale this week as last week for easier comparison. As our color scale was finer than red-yellow-green, our map is still marginally useful in its darkened state.
