Mon/Tues/Wed next week will be telling for San Diego. Monday marks two weeks of school and bar closures.
I don’t know why The President or Bill Gates are calling for anything other than what should happen in the next 7 days. Trump says April 12. What if things still look like crap then ? Gates says two more months. What if we don’t need two months ? Why decide today if we need two months ?
We don’t need to make those decisions until April 12.
The fact that nobody is sampling non-symptomatic populations is driving me mad. If we don’t do that, all these numbers are “funny” and not really painting a clear picture. If the treatment doesn’t depend on whether or not you have COVID-19, then why test the sick people ? Seems we should test restaurant and store workers to make sure they aren’t unaffected carriers.[/quote]
And why isn’t anyone publishing percentage-based numbers. Yes, the US has the most cases, but its population is a little bigger than Italy and a little smaller that China so that doesn’t tell us anything. Yes, New York has the most cases in the US but it is also a huge city. SF may be much worse off on a percentage basis. Maybe not. I don’t know because the news is stupid.
