I’ve said this before but IMO the biggest risk to our economy is opening too soon, wave 1 never really ends through the summer, then wave 2 comes roaring back in the fall. Then it’s back to full lockdowns.
-
I think the thing the governors and protestors aren’t acknowledging is that even if we “open up” and it goes relatively well it’s going to be a long road to economic recovery. If the early openings make it worse it’s going to take even longer.
-
States like Maryland that have active cases in the 10s of thousands probably will IMO. States with lower numbers might feel like they have a little more latitude. ETA: of course we know that Florida, Texas, etc, ain’t gonn wait for nothin
-
They’ve got over 6k more cases than WOM, wonder why.
-
I see 26k cases on WOM

You really should start a flu thread.

History Professor: And tragically class, over 58,000 Americans died in the Vietnam war. Student: *raises hand* History Professor: Yes, you in the back, go ahead... Student: That’s no big deal because 60,000 people died of flu last year.
-
And the majority of those have been in the last 3 weeks...
-
This is not at all relevant to the current discussion. Maybe you should start a flu thread.
-
I dunno, it would have to slow down really fast to not past 60,000.
-
It seems like we’re gonna blow past the IHME projection of 60,000 deaths by August, heck at this rate we’ll be there by the end of April.
-
Jersey with 379, highest one day total yet.

Absolutely, it seems like if the virus can manage to get into your lungs it doesn't really matter how old you are, it's going to beat you up pretty badly.
-
I mean, *knocks on wood*, as a reasonably healthy guy in my mid 30s the chances are low this would be bad for me personally, but so many people I know are older and/or have health conditions.
-
Just got a message that an employee at my sons daycare died of covid yesterday. Was a very nice guy and not that old, probably only in his late 50s or early 60s. What a terrible virus.
-
Yep....and we’re always left waiting for it to trickle down, only ever seems to trickle up to them.
-
New hospital/ICU data shows we clearly are still on the upswing here in Maryland.
-
Wow +68 deaths today in Maryland
-
-
Virginia with it's largest one day case count increase today, not sure what the daily testing numbers are like though.
-
lol dude what are you talking about
-
Hey the covid thread wasn’t a disaster today
-
I think it’s a matter of how diligently businesses and individuals social distance. If people just go about their business like they used to I imagine this fails. If people take hygiene seriously and wear masks and separate maybe it will work.
-
We are in uncharted waters with a novel virus, there will be a lot of trial and error. Hopefully they take the social distancing seriously in the businesses they open.

Absolutely
