“Looking at Worldometer’s USA page, we’ve definitely “flattened the curve””
I am not sure if the curve is flatten yet. The New Cases per a day had a high yesterday over 38K. Looks some other States besides New York are starting to climb. Massachusetts and California.
Yes, I mentioned the new high of daily cases. However, there’s been so much ripple in the curve that I am not too troubled by it... yet. Give that trend another 3 or 4 days, and we have a significant additional problem brewing. For now, though, I am more worried that despite the massive effort / cost to slow it, the bleeding is not staunched.
I think whole “curve” idea should not be determined on a nationwide level, but rather on a county or regional level. One city may be decreasing, while another is ramping up. I wish these governors would look at things that way too, and mitigate the spread area by area. If you have an area ramping up, shut it down and stop travel in/out of that county for a couple of weeks.
I don’t understand how shutting a whole state (except schools and large public events) makes sense, all they would have to do is limit travel in/out of areas hard hit at the time.
And it was bloody damn hot. 90s, we are reaching 100 in the next few days.
