People on my local subreddit are commenting that the mayor's idea of including "transmission rate of less than one person per person and a decline in new cases over 14 days" is a bad idea and they should only base it on hospital capacity and testing capability

quote:

We have reached satisfactory levels in testing capacity and the capacity of hospital floor beds and ICU beds, which to me are by far the most important things. I'm a broken record, but the new cases remain a weird metric to me, as we don't really know what they represent. It is going to a be a moving and inconsistent target that doesn't really add up unless hospitalizations and deaths are increasing too - which are the only metrics can be sure of since we don't really know true asymptomatic percentage, hospitalization or mortality rate of this virus.

quote:

This is all that matters. This was the entire point of all this effort. It was NOT so that nobody else ever gets it but that we didn't get it all at once. It seems some people seem to think you can't go outside until it has been eradicated from this planet, which is never going to happen. You may very well get it if not next week or month then a year from now.

You can't keep yourself from never getting a cold or seasonal flu and I doubt this is any different.

Aside from everything else wrong here, not keeping track of new cases is a good way to go from, say, 10% capacity to 200% capacity real quick

edit: I meant not using new cases as an additional criterion, to be precise

I heard an interview with a Florida Congressman earlier today on a local radio station. The anchor was questioning him on if it was wise for Georgia/Florida to reopen.

He claimed that because South Korea and Singapore have the virus under control it's possible for the virus to be under control. Therefore reopening is the right choice.

So like 1/3rd of the deaths in the US are in NYC alone. Presumably it got started and was spreading in NYC weeks before anywhere else. So the high number of deaths there I'm guessing is just that city being further along the curve. Meanwhile the rest of the country is only just now catching up and getting to the point where it's nicely scattered throughout the general population, ready to explode everywhere if you give it half a chance, and they're opening everything up for business because it was all a Chinese hoax? Is that right?

china hoax but also china lied about the virus+cover up and they should have more dead peeps?????

I'm increasingly angry that politicians aren't wearing masks when they make public appearances right now. And it isn't just about Pence, it's all of them. We desperately need to normalize mask wearing and it would be a lot easier to do if people saw elected leadership wearing them.
