Too far a stretch from my normal sarcasm I guess with that joke about installing more falls. It's a commentary about how walking in nature costs money. State parks should be funded the same as city parks; with normal taxes. My serious question though, is what does the state do with a windfall of funds they hadn't forecast? Should I expect a State Park refund any day now? Some letter saying the state only needed $1M to run a few toilets and allow trees to grow and water to fall, and instead they received $3M.

Regarding exponential infection rate spread; it's unsustainable. As the population progressively gets exposed, it eliminates hosts capable of spreading the virus. At some point the virus has infected a sufficient number of people that its own success undermines its ability to find vulnerable hosts. I'm not saying we're there yet, but I am saying that whatever the current rate of infection is can't be assumed to carry forward for months.
