Our area has younger people testing positive.  Only four of our seventeen cases are people over the age of 50.  Thirteen are in their 40's or lower.  This may not hold but it seems unusual given what has been shared about this disease.

The newest confirmed cases show disease clustering in families.  Pandemics spread in the following pattern:  case, case, case, cluster, cluster, boom.  San Angelo may be near the boom phase. Everyone should wear a mask.
