Unfortunately, according to this graph, we are not really any closer to the virus slowing down locally. The shape of the curve above has pretty much remained the same as that of last week's. This means that the number of new infections in Secaucus are still growing at approximately the same rate. On the bright side, this also means that the number of new cases aren't growing exponentially like they were in New York City at one point. So although the rate of new cases isn't slowing down, it luckily isn't ramping up either. And as long as we continue to be cautious and follow the appropriate health guidelines, we will hopefully see the curve above start to flatten out soon.
