Sunset Wood COVID-19 Update 4-6-2020

Dear Tenants,                                                          April 6, 2020

        After listening to, and speaking with, governmental agencies we are hoping that some of the recent numbers are starting to show that we are reaching the “apex” or “plateau” of the virus spread. It has come to my attention that some people may not totally understand what that means.

When a virus begins to spread, the number of cases exponentially increase until there becomes a certain life of the virus where it begins to die off on the societal environment which it is placed – we can think of it as the “saturation point” where the virus has spread as far as it can before caseloads start to decrease.

Please take a look at the chart provided by New York State to help you understand what we are talking about.

This week will tell us a lot about where we are going as a nation in regards to this virus. To sum it up: Stay Home. Stop the Spread. Save Lives.
