I don’t understand.

I we’re NOWHERE near 20 percent of the county getting it and and now many states are putting shelter in place into play, why would the numbers get higher for MONTHS??!?!

I can see an initial rise in April still, maybe.

But after that a decline.

The numbers i’ve seen as a result of shelter in place for a few weeks or a month show DRASTIC reductions in numbers.not increases.

The author’s magic is in his ass-umptions. A lot of if’s with no substantial justification for the assumptions.

"I don’t understand."

dpo622 you do understand. As you point out, what the actual demand for hospital beds due to Covid-19 is an unknown factor. The only valid point of the article is the number of available beds.

The real bottleneck is going to be next weekend, IMHO.

A friend in the rural Midwest (a lineman) just told me that traffic was heavier than usual at 7:00 am. The store parking lot in town was full. His state is supposed to be locked down except for essential businesses.
