Another day, another case
This will start to be old hat. Odds are, the age of the most recent case indicates another person on the front lines, perhaps someone employed as an EMT.
Let's just figure 2% of Estes Park's permanent population has been infected since March 15. 1% of 6500 is 65, double that for 130. That is likely how many Estes Park residents have COVID-19 antibodies currently, so anything less than this is just a catch-up. From 5 to 130 is going to be a long, slow, painful road if we perform a few tests a day based on symptoms or first-responders.
I would think the mask ordinance, if we are actually doing a proper job of monitoring increases in cases, will remain in place throughout the summer. However, if we just got over ourselves and gave every local an antibody test, we could remove the mask ordinance immediately, and those who tested negative could avoid the downtown area, and those forced to work downtown could wear a mask if they had underlying concerns.
