The day before leaving for our Europe trip, I posted about COVID cases in Italy and France. At that time, it appeared that the case count in each country was trending downwards. I did not continue checking during our trip. After testing positive for COVID upon our return from Paris, I just updated the case data.
Coincidentally, the COVID case count started to increase just as we left for our trip on June 5th. I am unsure whether I would have changed anything if I had this data available, since I am unsure where I contracted the virus. Perhaps be more careful and wear a mask on the flights back from Paris?
For LA County, the case count was stable to slightly decreasing. It does seem that the US lags European trends by a few months so maybe the count will decrease then spike up again?
This is important because my work wants everyone to return to the office. I thought I had an exemption due to taking immunosuppressive medication, but HR said I now need a doctor’s note. This is after spending over a decade as part of company management.
