Well, I live in NYC too and will be back in restaurants and bars the day they open. I’m not really worried about covid, but even if I were, I think I’ll almost certainly get it eventually regardless of whether I go out or not, so there’s no point trying to avoid it. So, now you know of at least one person. By the way: “how much health risk are we willing to accept to avoid a given amount of economic damage” is one of…

A guy walked onto an elevator with me yesterday. Freedom!!! He wasn't just making a choice for himself, he was making a choice for me.

I have no idea how this is related to my comment.

> it was doubling so fast it was hard to keep count of the cases and the hospital system came close to breaking under the stress? In the majority of the country hospitals did not come any where close to breaking. Please don't spread fake news.

I'm referring to New York, not the rest of the country. I'm not talking about the majority of the country. The comment I'm replying to is apparently [flagged] [dead], so maybe it's not visible? For context, my comment is responding to a comment that is regarding the projections for NY and "Furher Cuomo's" response to it. My reply is discussing what was happening in new york. certainly the response we had here would n…

I see. Yes, the comment didn't appear and I thought this was a reply to the main article.

Washington (State) launched something similar on May 1st: https://www.coronavirus.wa.gov/what-you-need-know/covid-19-r...

This is not at all close. NY has defined metrics with specific numbers (14-day rolling average, share of total beds above X%, etc etc) while WA has an opaque, made-up, zero transparency bunch of photoshopped dials set to whatever arbitrary position the state government decides is right.

I love the specificity of these metrics and thresholds here. We're lacking that in WA, where the goalposts on reopening phases and variance by region remains vague and ever changing.

What, you don't think clipart dials with no transparent metrics is good enough?

i think what many people don't understand are how many other layers will block re-opening once the gov. gives a green light. plenty of businesses are closed in states where the Governor has given a green light to re-open. It can be plain common sense by the business owner, city laws, office buildings enforcing impossible rules such as 1 person per elevator, liability from lawsuits and the insurance fees that come fro…

What percentage of people don't understand that (serious question)? I'm in nyc so my perspective is likely a little skewed, but I can't see anyone who can avoid doing so rushing back into restaurants, subways, or really any avoidable indoor or crowded activity. :( But, yeah, I see the protesters desperately wanting to reopen everything in the midwest, so I guess a lot of people must think the problem is politics not…

I’m in nyc and I’m ready to do that. I will do my part to protect the community by wearing a mask etc, but less than 500 people age 25-34 have died of this in the US. It approaches crossing the street risk.

It starting to bother me that the US lockdown does not appear to have a clear goal. In some countries, it is clear that the goal is to eliminate the virus from the country. Contact tracing is key as well as regional lockdowns. In the US, I don't see much evidence we are heading towards a sustainable elimination of the virus. In the well discussed Sweden example, the goal is a managed herd immunity strategy. I am curi…

I am not sure why you are being downvoted. There is no goal and no plan in the United States. Just stay inside and hope that somehow works.

The problem is that exponential growth looks flat until it looks vertical. People either get this or they don't or they choose not to. New York was going vertical. The rest of the country went "Oh, hell, no" and locked down to prevent that from even starting. But, it's okay. We're running a nice set of experiments right now with the experimental group (red states reopening) vs control group (blue states staying locke…

Exponential growth is never vertical. Why must we resort to hyperbole when the truth is scary enough?

Very informative and transparent. This should be the standard everywhere. I'm a bit surprised (and disappointed) something similar does not exist for the Bay Area.

There's a guy on the /r/bayarea subreddit that's been doing god's work and providing transparency on all new cases and deaths in our 9 counties.

As far as I know, it's still the case that no reasonably-large country is doing much more coronavirus testing than the US right now. The UK is probably just about over the 30 tests per 1k per 30 days mark averaged over a week as of our last testing increase, Germany might still be slightly below it but I haven't seen recent figures from them and they seemed to have stalled out increasing testing, and other countries…

FWIW my province of 4.4 million is stalled on tests being run because it's run out of additional symptomatic people to test at around 30 tests per 1k per 30 days, even though testing capacity is about double that, and still increasing.

Why not start testing randomly chosen asymptomatic people?
