Originally posted by e.cat View PostThe key is to bend the curve Ref. We should be able to that without shutting down the whole country for two or three months. That would destroy the country. It may be selective opening up depending different factors. The stimulus package would help if we are to have any recovery at all.

Originally posted by e.cat View PostI think we should be selective. Hotspots should not just be social distancing but stay in lockdown per individual state mandates. What's good for South Dakota is probably not good for New York or Washington state. We should continue to be surgical with preventions and mandates and not do a countrywide shutdown. IMO that would be a disaster.
It’s now too late to avoid a nation wide shutdown. I don’t think people appreciate exponential growth.

My company is committed to mandatory work from home for everyone that can for at least 6-8 weeks. We are even talking about how we are going to recruit and onboard new hires 100% remotely. We are considered essential and have lab people, animal care, facilities, etc that have to be onsite but we’ve reduced on-site research staff by 75%Last edited by BassAle; 03-24-2020, 06:19 PM.

Originally posted by e.cat View PostWell, I read Gov Mills edict for a statewide shutdown in Maine and it looks to me like essential workers includes a lot of people. Not worth the paper it's written on! Correct me if I'm wrong but there are no deaths in Maine related to covid 19 to date. Her edict is more window dressing than anything else.
We modeled this at work. Without changing current trends (hopefully the closures do) the US was on track to break 100k this week and 1.5M a week later. If 2% of diagnosed cases eventually die, that’s 30k deaths — but it’s not going to stop there. If diagnosed cases are doubling every 2-3 days I’ll let you do the math to see where we will be at Easter. With no immunity and without severe social distancing eventually most people will become infected.

Re: COVID-19 - Part 2
....there are no deaths YET in my town, my school, my county, my state. YET = You're Eligible Too
That's what I teach my kids (high school) about the " I haven't gotten busted, yet, or pregnant, yet (am a health teacher). We all have thought YET about something. I hope the coronavirus, isn't one of them.
Ps...here's an article about how we could get back into the game if we did a few namely things, like, protect the vulnerable. (there's a concept for this country) Anyway, he's kind of light on the how, but, just
want to show I can consider other POV...lol would love commentary on this article if you're interested...

This thing is going to surge in a huge way here in NY very shortly, and then it'll spill-over to other surges in neighboring States. Even Maine, at some point.
My conscience won't allow me to stay home, as much as I want to. I've pulled my scrubs out of dry-storage and have to come back from retirement to ventilate 2 people with one unit. We'll see how that goes.
The rest of you stay home, aside from the essential workers. Maybe we can ride this out, a la the ROK.

Originally posted by e.cat View PostI'm not sure what you are advocating for though BassAle. I have tried to be clear that I am not in favor of a national shutdown. It seems to me that Janet Mills shutdown is woefully inadequate and not warranted to begin with If that's all she's going to do.
Mills shutdown might be inadequate but it is absolutely warranted for anyone that understands basic math.
