I’m hoping the shutdowns/slowdowns have really decreased the number.
*fingers crossed*
Shutdown effects should start to be seen 5 days in, full effect about 2 weeks. There has been a slowdown of the rate of increase in cases, from 50% a week and a half ago, to about 20% now.
There won't be an effect on the death rate until incubation time+disease course runs, maybe about 17 days after shutdown, fatality rate is behind the case rate. Death rate is at 1.75% now, and statisically has to increase. It will probably reach 3% of the cases identified.
Waiting to see the numbers flatten. Hope that starts happening. Sick of being locked down.
Shame, many will probably be Walmart greeters when this is over. The world needs their guidance and wisdom so much. Look at all they've done for conservatism and conserving ONE thing ever. Not even public bathrooms or library story hours.
