IL response has been catastrophically bad. Yes testing has false positives and also missed positives, but that should be equal on both sides. So damn near 20% of IL has gotten this virus.... Almost 70% (yes I'm spinning a bit by rounding up) are 70 or older. Death is bad, but I'm not certain the point in this lockdown. Grandma/pa should just stay home and maybe do drive by visits and have groceries delivered. Lock down nursing homes from visitors. Completely equip those facilities with the best PPE and sanitation protocols. And open the fuck back up.

Sure looks like the epidemic is ending in England:

Way too early to draw any conclusions.
It's starting to get hotter. Soon the narrative will quickly shift back to climate change doom. Corona will be revived just in time for the elections.
I'm just glad that if and when the data says we can open up more and faster, we can also blame lefty for wanting to go slower,...you know becasue their damn "facts and reality" based ideology.
Way too early to draw any conclusions. Hope for the best. I note fox news just extended their work from home order until June 15 while pushing the country to reopen...what a bunch of pussies.
Deaths could have been prevented by just shutting down old people. Instead the response was to shut down everyone, even though the elderly still went out
And that's exactly what we are doing with this lockdown, which keeps the virus infecting a few people at a time, so that it can go on forever.
HEYYOU saysI'm waiting 2-3 weeks from now to see increased COVID-19 attacks.
Keep waiting.
all the lefties
Here's the latest from the Georgia Department of Public Health website.
I am trying to understand if the virus can die off during the summer such as be starved of not having any available human host.
I'd guess UV kills it, and the warmer temperature, the faster it is killed. So sunny, warm weather should bring infections down naturally, like with all cold viruses/flu's...
covid_shmovid saysRight. But Brazil.
One giant wet market of people living on top of each other?
Which makes me think that low density, car-dependent lifestyle have more to do with CA/TX low rates of infection than warm weather and UV light.

Right. But it's hot, humid and drenched in UV. Which are supposedly the factors suppressing cold-like infections naturally. Somehow they suppress jack shit there.

Not saying they're right, but they certainly have an interesting take as evolutionary biologists.
I like another point they make which is that it doesn't have to be a choice for staying totally locked down versus totally opening up

Sure. We can open up schools and have half the kids come in on Monday and Wednesday and the other half can go on Tuesday and Thursday. And they gotta wear masks. The rest of the time they can learn online.
Some people think this scheme is practical.
joshuatrio saysHere we are just over a week later. And the results are fantastic.
Still waiting on that second wave....
And here it is.
Simple weighting based on recent lag shows Georgia could already have more daily cases than it's prior peak.

I wonder if those blue states might turn red after the massive abuse of power they experienced.
