Maine and Vermont are now leading the country in infection rate (with New Hampshire not too far behind) :/ https://covidactnow.org/share/6915/?redirectTo=%2Fcompare%2F6915&s=1318327
It's really crucial for VT to clamp this spike down quickly. As cases go up, contact tracing becomes much more difficult. https://covidactnow.org/us/vt/chart/3?s=1318327
Even more concerning to me is that it's not one just county that's seeing cases rise.
Community spread is tough to fight - this virus spreads fast and by the time you test positive it may have already made its way 2 hops down the transmission chain

@GovPhilScott is issuing some strict new gathering rules prohibiting multi-household gatherings.
On paper that seems promising, but it's mostly up to Vermonters whether or not they follow them. https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/vermont/2020/11/13/vermont-covid-restrictions-no-multi-family-gatherings-bars-closed/6278629002/

With Thanksgiving coming up I hope Vermonters are taking this seriously.
It's true, I would much rather be in VT than any other part of the country - but with cases rising this quickly it can get out of control very fast. https://covidactnow.org/share/6929/?redirectTo=%2Fcompare%2F6929&s=1318327
