The majority of Chelsea residents are the folks currently working the front lines in hospitals and service industries...they have no choice but to leave their homes and expose themselves.

They say 71 per 10,000 residents have the coronavirus and Chelsea.... but what they won’t tell you is that is 1 in every 141 residents.

If 1 out of every 141 people that live in Chelsea likely has The coronavirus then I would imagine in two weeks it would be about 1 in every 70 or 80 or 1 and every 50

What do you mean what they won't tell you? Any toddler with a calculator could do the math for themselves and find that number. The reason why they don't "tell" you that is because we have a uniform reporting structure so it is easier to compare. Last time I checked 141 was not a uniform number.

What is the point of a 24 hour curfew --- unless it is to simply prevent people from traveling to indoor or outdoor gathering points

Otherwise it is far better to have people outside where there is NO SARS-COV2 virus

Repeat -- You can not get the COVID-19 disease by being outdoors if you are not in essentially direct contact with someone who is infected

Outdoors is far better than indoors where there maybe plenty of opportunities to share COVID-19 with your friends, relatives, neighbors or just strangers:

  1. UV from Sunlight when we have it is the best disinfectant
  2. Even a gentle breeze will dissipate any cloud of warm moist virus infected air emitted by an infected person
  3. In the absence of competitive team sports
    1. People are just naturally further apart outside
    2. Less likely to handle objects which might have been recently contaminated

So what Chelsea should be doing is finding and dispersing any crowds -- indoors first, and then outdoors

Let the ordinary people who want to walk outside: for the benefits of personal exercise, to exercise their dogs, or to get something to eat or drink, or to get some pharmaceuticals or cleaning supplies -- Let them Just Do it
