We have been breaking a lot of records lately. Today, with Manchester dropping down to 49 active cases, there are no communities in NH with more than 50 active cases.
After Manchester, Nashua, with 33 total active cases, is second, followed by Derry with 17, Salem with 14, Londonderry with 11, and Bedford with 10. The other communities with more than 50 cumulative cases now have less than 10 active cases.

These are not simply numbers. We must not forget that these are all someone’s husband or wife, mother or father, sister or brother, son or daughter, friend or neighbor.

Facts are facts, and these are the facts. If we can keep the numbers heading in the same direction as they are now, it is possible that NH could have no cases by the end of the month. Wouldn’t that be awesome?! Let’s try! We can start by doing everything we can do to stay safe, and always, be kind.
