    You just have to be careful because todays hospitalizations/ICU's/Vents are resulting from activity that took place 2-4 weeks prior.

    What we really need is a breakout of the positive cases by age group.

    Thats how we can forecast what future hospitalizations/deaths/etc. will look like

    Yeah. Hospital capacity is one of the keys to avoiding bad outcomes. Hope it works out in Mississippi. Thanks for the link.

    Well things rarely do for us, but hopefully this is different. So far, I actually think we've done a decent job. Our testing has been pretty good... we aren't last in something!

    Blue states do not seem to be close to reopening despite the data demanding it.

    It has to be political at this point

    Things are being opened up pretty much everywhere. I went out to dinner in Connecticut last night. Outdoor seating, with distancing between tables.

    There is a data lag, but you are correct.

    We were supposed to hunker down to prevent hospitals from being overrun from the jump.

    We were NOT supposed to hunker down until the virus went away, and it would be impossible to do so.

    This time was supposed to be used to ramp up testing, institute contact tracing, and get hospitals ready for new cases. Whether or not that has happened, and who is at fault for it not happening, is certainly open for debate.

    The best course of action is probably to test a lot, trace contacts of the infected, and quarantine those individuals. Problem is, when half the population cries about wearing masks as some sort of infringement on their rights, it makes those types of programs impossible. So all we can do is die like the morons we are.

    I think there is also a question of when you open. If you open at a time the virus' reproductive rate is around 1 or just a hair below, you are taking a pretty big gamble. Maybe it works out with the warmer weather and voluntary social distancing. Maybe not.

    Also forcing restaurants to operate at half capacity essentially guarantees they cannot operate profitably

    Movie theatres will be the same. Only option is for them to raise prices

    One of the biggest tragedies of this is that the consolidation of wealth in the nation increased.

    It'll be blamed on capitalism for sure and not idiotic policies pushed by the DNC propoganda machine.
