sound the alarms

[slick'81]

LOL anyone who thinks this isn't going to keep happening and that there is any chance whatsoever of another NBA game this season.


Honestly wtf cares about basketball being played right now?

[Leetonidas]

Hopefully Kawhi gets Corona tbh. Since KD got it we know snakes aren't immune

[tholdren]

sound the alarms

It's really going to blow people's minds when they come to realize people have had this since january, or when enough nba players get it and nothing happens because they have no preexisting conditions. Keep testing nba players!!!

Thats what im wondering. How are mitchell,gobert ,woods and durant etc doing? Are any really sick or are all showing little to no symptoms ? I assume a athlete in his 20's probably wont be effected much or am i wrong

You do get how it spreads, right? Glad to see you following days later lol at your post count

[ChumpDumper]

[tholdren]

Every stat that I have seen explains that for over 80 percent symptoms are mild. those with no underlying conditions have less than 1 percent chance of death.

[tholdren]

You didn't answer the question.

If you are visiting an elderly person with an underlying condition its risky no matter what. Use proximity. Wash your hands avoid touching. It's really simple actually. Why you dont understand that, I have no idea.

Or is this your cue to use another yahoo article as scientific evidence?

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.https://imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf (https://t.co/AwE2cHIbeJ?amp=1)

The Imperial College team plugged infection and death rates from China/Korea/Italy into epidemic modeling software and ran a simulation: what happens if the US does absolutely nothing -- if we treat COVID-19 like the flu, go about our business, and let the virus take its course?

Here's what would happen: 80% of Americans would get the disease. 0.9% of them would die. Between 4 and 8 percent of all Americans over the age of 70 would die. 2.2 million Americans would die from the virus itself.

It gets worse. People with severe COVID-19 need to be put on ventilators. 50% of those on ventilators still die, but the other 50% live. But in an unmitigated epidemic, the need for ventilators would be 30 times the number available in the US. Nearly 100% of these patients die.

So the actual death toll from the virus would be closer to 4 million Americans -- in a span of 3 months. 8-15% of all Americans over 70 would die.

How many is 4 million people? It's more Americans than have died all at once from anything, ever. It's the population of Los Angeles. It's 4 times the number of Americans who died in the Civil War...on both sides combined. It's two-thirds as many people as died in the Holocaust.

Americans make up 4.4% of the world's population. If we extrapolate these numbers to the rest of the world (warning: MOE is high here), this gives us 90 million deaths globally from COVID-19, in 3-6 months. 15 Holocausts. 1.5 times as many people as died in all of World War II.

Now, of course countries won't stand by and do nothing. So the Imperial College team ran the numbers again, this time assuming a "mitigation" strategy: all symptomatic cases in the US in isolation. Families of those cases quarantined. All Americans over 70 social distancing.

This mitigation strategy is what you've seen a lot of people talking about when they say we should "flatten the curve": try to slow the spread of the disease to the people most likely to die from it, to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

And it does flatten the curve -- but not nearly enough. The death rate from the disease is cut in half, but it still kills 1.1 million Americans all by itself. The peak need for ventilators falls by two-thirds, but it still exceeds the number of ventilators in the US by 8 times.

That leaves the actual death toll in the US at right around 2 million deaths. The population of Houston. Two Civil Wars. One-third of the Holocaust. Globally, 45 million people die: 7.5 Holocausts, 3/4 of World War II. That's what happens if we rely on mitigation & common sense.

Finally, the Imperial College team ran the numbers again, assuming a "suppression" strategy: isolate symptomatic cases, quarantine their family members, social distancing for the whole population, all public gatherings/most workplaces shut down, schools and universities close.

Suppression works! The death rate in the US peaks 3 weeks from now at a few thousand deaths, then goes down. We hit but don't exceed the number of available ventilators. The nightmarish death tolls from the rest of the study disappear.

But here's the catch: if we EVER relax suppression before a vaccine is administered to the entire population, COVID-19 comes right back and kills millions of Americans in a few months, the same as before.

After the 1st suppression period ends in July, we could probably lift restrictions for a month, followed by 2 more months of suppression, in a repeating pattern without triggering an outbreak or overwhelming the ventilator supply. Staggering breaks by city could do a bit better.

But we simply cannot EVER allow the virus to spread throughout the entire population in the way other viruses do, because it is just too deadly. If lots of people we know end up getting COVID-19, it means millions of Americans are dying. It simply can't be allowed to happen.

How quickly will a vaccine be here? Last week three separate research teams announced they had developed vaccines. Yesterday, one of them (with FDA approval) injected its vaccine into a live person, without waiting for animal testing. That's an extreme measure, but necessary.

Now, though, they have to monitor the test subject for 14 months to make sure the vaccine is safe. This part can't be rushed: if you're going to inoculate all humans, you have to make absolutely sure the vaccine itself won't kill them. It probably won't, but you have to be sure.

Assuming the vaccine is safe and effective, it will still take several months to produce enough to inoculate the global population. For this reason, the Imperial College team estimated it will be about 18 months until the vaccine is available.

During those 18 months, things are going to be very difficult and very scary. Our economy and society will be disrupted in profound ways. And if suppression actually works, it will feel like we're doing all this for nothing, because infection and death rates will remain low.

It's easy to get people to come together in common sacrifice in the middle of a war. It's very hard to get them to do so in a pandemic that looks invisible precisely because suppression methods are working. But that's exactly what we're going to have to do. /end

475 dead in Italy just yesterday. Not total, just for yesterday and the pick has yet to come there.

Respect all the precaution measures, people. Everyone has a role and responsability in controling that virus and not infecting others.

A 38 year old infected guy died in France yesterday and more than a hundred under 40 are in reanimation so don't think you're safe if you're not an old fart.

This shit is crazy... I got an employee that's been sick with a bad cough, 101 fever, chills, shortness of breath. We forced him home with a paid 2 week leave and to get a corona virus test. He tried but was denied due to the fact he has not been in communication with anyone who traveled abroad...

I told him to get a regular flu test which he did and it came out negative.... But the doctor still would not approve him to get the coronavirus test even though there are already cases of community spread here in San antonio.

They simply WILL NOT TEST YOU even if you have all the symptoms. This virus must be much more widespread than we know if it is that hard to get tested is all i gotta say...

Did he try going to Labcorp???

[SpurSpike]

Did he try going to Labcorp???

This is a quote from the labcorp website

"As a reminder, LabCorp does not collect specimens for the test. Patients for whom testing has been ordered should not be sent to LabCorp location to have a specimen collected. Instead, an appropriate specimen must be collected at the healthcare facility where the patient was seen and the test was ordered. The specimen should be sent to the companies using standard procedures. Test results will be available in 3-4 days from the pickup of the specimen to release of the test result."

The doctors will not order the test unless you have traveled abroad, or had contact with an already diagnosed case or you are hospitalized.

This virus will rape our country if this is how we are going to respond... its incompetence of the highest order.

[BackHome]

Only way to contain it is like a fire no oxygen no flame which means everyone staying home for a couple of weeks. That’s why in Iran 1 person is dying from the virus every 10 minutes cause people won’t listen they still going out even though thousands of people have died.

It won’t matter how many test you do if you don’t isolate the virus will continue to spread. The way China stopped it was extreme isolation and the way South Korea dealt with it was testing with extreme isolation.

A couple of weeks? China and Korea have been on lockdown for a couple of MONTHS, complete lockdown, and their curves are just starting to flatten. It’s going to run wild here, and the worst case for fatalities will likely be reached, like 2M.

I don't like China's action at all. They're treating it like a virus that can be eradicated. It's everywhere in the world and their method is short-sighted, as eventually it's going to have to work its way through their population until either it has infected 40% to 70% and finished quick spreading or they get a working vaccine.

I think we shouldn't starve the virus. We should just try as much as we can to slow it's growth so that the population can get it over the months without completely overwhelming our hospitals so that our mortality rate doesn't spike to hell longterm. Right now it's most likely too late to not have that happen for the next few weeks but my hope is the social distancing and shutting down of nonessential business lets us spread this infection over longer time frames going forward. At some point probably enough of the population will have it that it makes sense to reopen the country and let the virus finish burning through our population, because of the way infection curves drop off very quickly once a lot of the population has either recovered or died.

[BackHome]

I think US is easier and harder by the size of our country and the size of major cities. I agree the major cities are going to have to stop all incoming air traffic and only essential people working for a month or so beyond that you will have more death from people going crazy tearing the city apart. But in a lot of rural area life will go on as normal....why did I move
to the big city. Smh

It's hard to get tested because there just aren't enough tests available right now.

How long has he been feeling that way? The shortness of breath could just be paranoia if he just barely started showing symptoms. From my understanding 80 percent of people who get the virus will show little to no symptoms. Others will get sick but can recover on their own, just have to let it run its course like you would with the normal flu. The key is if on the 7th/8th day you don't start feeling better, and instead start getting worse (difficulty breathing) then you need to go to the hospital.

This virus doesn't target just the old. It targets everyone. Seeing it affect children as young as a few weeks old to the oldest population. In the US and Europe, those most affected are probably our age group. 20-40, 40-55. Its NOT another flu. Its NOT just old people who can die.

Its affecting even the healthiest of people. I know a triathelete in the NYC area on life support. 35 years old. Wouldn't be surprised if he passes away.

i can't speak for korea but you have no idea how filthy china is typically, and how much more crowded and impoverished the conditions. it's night and day.

as far as what to do, you fight it best you can but there's really not much you can do ultimately. humans are social creatures and it always leaves us vulnerable to disease. can't really blame a country or great civilization for getting run through by a plague...nothing has changed so dramatically that we've suddenly graduated from all that

Yeah worried about virus but also worried about an economic collapse already have friends being laid off if this continues for a long it going to get real bad. At some point they will have to let the virus just run but opening the economy will have to happen people need to make money to buy food and medicine etc.

Yes, you can die from it even if you are young especially if you have underlying medical conditions. But the large majority (like 99.9%) of younger people will recover from it on their own or be asymptomatic. Older people are more at risk.

All that has been proven already. No need to treat it like it's a threat to our existence. It's bad but no need for the fear mongering either.

Where are you getting your BS?
The name "coronavirus" is derived from Latin corona, meaning "crown" or "wreath", itself a borrowing from Greek κορώνη korṓnē, "garland, wreath". The name refers to the characteristic appearance of virions (the infective form of the virus) by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona.

my bad someone told me that and i passed it along stupidly without checking coz it sounded legit. the infertility thing is real of course, chinese papers reported it

Interestingly enough the word coronary is derived from the latin word corona meaning wreath or crown. Cornarius became coronary meaning to resemble a wreath or crown. Anatomical use is from 1670s in reference to the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle and surround the heart like a crown. Coronary artery first use is recorded from 1741.

thanks dude. So far, it's just a fever that has gone down to 99.9 degrees. It was at 100.8 earlier. No sore throat and no breathing issues. Just body aches and the fever.

Good luck padre. It's a bad hand to be dealt, but at least you should eventually be OK. Finding out about what this virus truly is all about will be helpful for everyone. The unknown is a lot scarier than the known.

I don't think the season resumes at this point. Unless they push it back to late June/July. Not seeing a May return date.

[Sugus]

Reported today that both of KAT's parents tested positive, while his mother is still in a medically-induced coma from respiratory issues derived from CO19. As increasingly more cases like this one begin to surface close to the players' circles of friends and families, it's very hard to think that they'd be ok with taking the extreme risk of resuming the season. Even with no fans in the arena, players and coaches can still infect each other - testing everyone before every game is unrealistic. I just don't see the logistics of it...

Best guess is they cancel the season, get on with the draft, and start clean for next season. As Dex said though, it'll absolutely suck for the top seeded teams, but it's the least risk involved option and gives players a lot of time to rest (and for infected players to heal) and take care of their friends/families. This pandemic isn't going away overnight or any time soon.

Hey guys. Thanks for the well wishes! I'm doing better now but I've been under self quarantine while I'm waiting to get tested. My employers want me back at work soon and I'm a county worker considered "essential" so I will be tested a couple days before they want me back. Never mind that all my symptoms are gone (except for a sore throat) after having some bad symptoms for a few days straight. I likely had norovirus along with a bad cold at the same time according to my doctor but it would've been nice to remove all doubt before. Last Sunday, I had a particularly bad night with a high fever and chills and kept throwing up but had to bear it without medical attention. Fortunately, I've been healthy most of my life with no preexisting conditions so I've been able to fight off whatever I've had. Even though it's not believed I had or have COVID-19, I will still get tested for it since symptoms were similar and I'm slated to go back to work. I've been using paid sick leave but my employer won't let me continue using it if I test negative for COVID-19. Crazy times.

Really interested to see what happens with the offseason in the event the season actually does get finished at a later date.

Say the games go to September...they would probably push back the start of next season to December.

When does the draft go down? Will teams be drafting before they even know if the '19-'20 season is over?

How do they truncate the free agency period? Summer trading? Training camp and preseason?

So much still up in the air on this.

In light of things like KATs parents, I think the season will be cancelled. I think their ratings would be absolute shit in empty gyms. Few who's team isn't in the playoffs would care about basketball at this point in time. Godawful things are going to happen in the next few weeks that will dwarf basketball, or any sport. Japan, who has a LOT better handle on this has already postponed the Olympics until next year.

Waaaay to soon to tell gambino

[exstatic]

I think the barrier to completing the season is 30 June, the end of the league year. How can players be expected to play past the end of their contracts?

[talkspurs]

The NBPA and NBA could just agree to extend when contracts would end. From my understanding the NBAPA could do this for all players. Most players may rather play the games then lose the money for being short games.

There's no way this is over by June. It's taken China three months to get it under control and their government has had a much stronger and intelligent response (albeit draconian) than our federal government has as of yet.

[talkspurs]

Yes there has been talk about moving the start of the season to December (maybe Christmas). this has even talked about as a permanent change. This would mean they would not need to compete with Football as much. The one Drawback they have on this is they are worried about the Championship/Playoffs being played during the Summer season as ratings drop. Some say the ratings would not be effected by moving to the the Summer.

[Chillen]

For the NBA if they can't start playing by June than it would be a good idea to cancel the season. If they start up again in June the NBA finals would likely be in September. If they play again this season shorten the next NBA season like they did in the NBA lockout year so preseason starts in middle of December, regular season January. So they either cancel this season or shorten the next season to salvage this one. If the NBA season is cancelled than no team made the playoffs and it's in the history books with an asterisk and cancelled over covid-19 pandemic. I do hope they find a way to salvage the season though, even if it means to play without fans in attendance.

Mystery In Wuhan: Recovered Coronavirus Patients Test Negative ... Then Positive


March 27, 20209:28 AM ET - EMILY FENG / AMY CHENG


A spate of mysterious second-time infections is calling into question the accuracy of COVID-19 diagnostic tools even as China prepares to lift quarantine measures to allow residents to leave the epicenter of its outbreak next month. It's also raising concerns of a possible second wave of cases.


From March 18-22, the Chinese city of Wuhan reported no new cases of the virus through domestic transmission — that is, infection passed on from one person to another. The achievement was seen as a turning point in efforts to contain the virus, which has infected more than 80,000 people in China. Wuhan was particularly hard-hit, with more than half of all confirmed cases in the country.


But some Wuhan residents who had tested positive earlier and then recovered from the disease are testing positive for the virus a second time. Based on data from several quarantine facilities in the city, which house patients for further observation after their discharge from hospitals, about 5%-10% of patients pronounced "recovered" have tested positive again.


Some of those who retested positive appear to be asymptomatic carriers — those who carry the virus and are possibly infectious but do not exhibit any of the illness's associated symptoms — suggesting that the outbreak in Wuhan is not close to being over.

I work in healthcare, and I’ve been around a fair share of presumptive cases. I’ve worn the proper PPE since the beginning of March. Practiced good infection control. I’m starting to have symptoms now. Gonna get tested tmw.

Unfortunately my area seems not to be taken it seriously. An ER colleague of mine told me today there are 30+ cases at a local hospital, while the local news media is only reporting what the county has confirmed so far. It’s become a grim scene at the hospital. Multiple people intubated yesterday. The high risk population living in my area is about to take a hit, sadly.

Im being tested through a private lab with my PCP. Be safe bro. Your dad probably is one of the ones who got it and survived to tell it all. It’s really bad how people aren’t taking it seriously.

Marcus Smart said he's been cleared of coronavirus since Friday.
Smart was one of at least 10 NBA players known to have COVID-19, and he was a vocal proponent of self-isolation to slow the virus' spread. He said all along that he felt fine physically, and he should pick up where he left off if the NBA is able to conclude the 2019-20 season. Prior to the league's suspension, Smart was cruising with averages of 13.5 points, 2.4 triples, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, which was good enough for top-75 value in 8-cat and 9-cat leagues.

Hate to burst your bubble, but even if you got a SARS vaccine, it isn't compatible, nor would you still have immunity after this much time. The viruses are similar, but so are lots of flu viruses, and they have to pick 3-4 strains every year to put into the vaccine. If you get one of the other ones, you get sick.

The Lakers players have completed their 14-day home quarantine and are all currently symptom-free of COVID-19.
Two Laker players tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month, but it sounds like they have recovered, although the team will continue to follow the self-isolation recommendations from the government. The self-isolation guidelines are expected to hold through the end of April, but most reporting suggests that even in a best-case scenario, we won't see the season resume until June, anyway.

Season over.

[slick'81]

There's support for a 2020-2021 season that would start in December and extend through late July or August, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.
There's been buzz around this idea for weeks now, and it's becoming more likely the NBA will have to push back the start of next season. Woj adds fan-less games could rely on robotic cameras with closer, innovative angles of the action. Plus, the NBA has an expectation that it will need in the neighborhood of 15,000 tests.

Optics. The NBA is not winning any popularity contests right now. They should shut it down, make a good example, keep quiet, and make plans for next year. Real people are hurting and they do not care about wealthy people whining or players acting like the game is part of the life and death scenario.
Lebron has not done himself any favors, either. His attitude looks selfish and it is gonna affect him at the box office with Space Jam 2.

There is no real way to salvage this season to pretend it's like any other, so scrap that thinking and put together an isolated "Heroes Cup" tournament starting with all the teams. It's the most responsible way if you want to bring the sport back soon while also being the easiest thing to to among the major professional sports.

NBA should learn from the NFL the draft this past week had the highest view ratings ever they blew it out of the park. Players and coaches are not going to want to come back and play 3 or 6 games and they have a mini Playoff in front of hardly anyone. It a time for them to shut it down have the damn draft and figure out next year WTF they going to do next year.

If they cancel the season shouldn't every team get in the lottery considering no one made the playoffs because there wasn't a playoffs to play? how would that work exactly? That would be fair because even if they resume season it will have an asterisk mark on it.

I still hope they resume the season and play it out till Sept. Have the NBA draft in late Sept, season starts in December. If they cancel the season all teams should be eligible for a lottery pick, no one made the playoffs. Obviously worse record gets higher pick.

MGM Resorts International has pitched the NBA on an audacious proposal to house their athletes and necessary support staff to hold their seasons on a quarantined block on the Las Vegas Strip, according to Kevin Draper of the New York Times.
MGM has ownership stakes in more than a dozen hotel-casinos in Las Vegas, and per the report they envisions a fully quarantined campus, essentially one full block of the Las Vegas Strip, where players would live and play out whatever schedule the leagues want. Plus, the athletes would be joined by their families, league and broadcast media employees, as well as the staff and vendors needed to serve them, with access to lounges, spas, restaurants, gambling and all the other perks the resorts offer.

If Fauci is right we'd be in the early part of a horrific SARSCov2 season by then on top of the flu season. Not sure though since the disaster in Ecuador on the equator where it has been 90 degrees and humid for two months straight kind of makes you question if SARSCov2 is anywhere near as seasonal as the various flus we always have circulating.

Why is that a terrible idea? if the season is cancelled it's only fair to be fair to all NBA teams. No one makes the playoffs if there is no playoffs. It will go down as a cancelled season. It doesn't matter what your record was. Of course it would suck immensely if Lakers or Clippers got a top 3 pick but it's fair though so I hope the NBA doesn't think about fairness.

It's not fair at all. The purpose of the lottery is to help terrible teams get better and make the league more competitive and not help a contending become a super team. A team like the Lakers,Clippers have superstars so they don't need another bail out which the lottery would give them.

This is tough. The nba has positioned itself as a global leader and a company that prides itself on treating their employees right. All that goodwill and great work to build the brand could be undone if they come back and people get sick.

I get it. There is a lot of money at stake to finish this season. But is 20 games + playoffs for one year really worth the potential damage? That is a really tricky situation and NBA would be absolutely roasted if they come back and this goes sideways.

It’s like a multiplier effect since they are positioned as a player friendly and progressive league. Right or wrong, the backlash will be severe IMO because of that. It will be called fake and hypocritical and everything else under the sun.

Tough spot for Silver.

I think they should just scrap the season; it will hurt, but their brand will be intact and they will probably be viewed as THE leader in the business community. Unequivocally putting profit aside for the sake of their people. That alone may help with some of the financial losses. How much? Tough to say, but my guess is it would help.

They can survive not finishing the season long-term. Making a mistake here would be far more difficult to recover from (they would, look at all the crap the NFL does).

The draft was never designed to be fair. It was designed to improve balance by improving bad teams. I mean, the lottery itself isn’t fair. Truly awful teams have much better odds than just garden variety bad teams. If you want truly fair, put one ping pong ball in the hopper for each team. That’s fair.

Turns out Coronavirus isnt that deadly, new research put the death rate around 0.25%, meaning if the entire USA got the disease (impossible), then less than 1 million out of 330 million would die. That is not nearly enough to justify any of this. Quarantining needs to end. Those who are at risk should take further quarantine precautions if they choose, those who are not at risk should social distance and wear masks so we dont overwhelm hospitals. No need to ruin the economy and cause more destruction and collateral damage to livelihoods and our prosperity.

New York City is has a population of 8.4 million. Antibody testing shows an estimated infection rate of around 25%, so 0.25*8.4 = 2.1 million infected in NYC. There have been 19057 COVID deaths in NYC per the John's Hopkins stats

19057/(2.1*10^6) = 0.0091 = 0.91%

70% is probably a lower bound for how much of the US can get it before herd immunity starts kicking in.

That would be at least 0.91%*0.7 = 0.64% of the population = 2.1 million dead in the US. And that's with a mortality rate from a hard lockdown that kept New York City's hospitals from being completely overrun like Northern Italy's were, where they had to start denying ventilators to anyone 60 or over when their healthcare system collapsed. If you just open the country and let SARSCov2 run unchecked there is a great chance many hotspots pop up in the US where they do get completely overwhelmed like Northern Italy was. Who knows what that 2.1 million becomes then?

When did I say to let it run unchecked? I said masks and social distancing but the lockdown needs to stop. A crashed economy will be magnitudes more devastating than 0.9% death rate. Which I dont buy btw. NYC is a different animal than rural and suburban America. Hell, it is much different than most large cities. It is an ideal breeding ground for any communicable disease.

If you listened to what I said, I said it is time to stop with the bullshit lockdowns. Time to go back to work. There is no way 100% of the population would ever acquire this, in fact, I would guarantee it never reaches 40%. I will take my chances. I will live my life and soon everyone around you will do the same and return to work. And you will be sitting there, hand wringing, letting the world pass you by. Good grief, people die from diseases every day. The death rate isnt 10%, its very clearly under 1%, how far under 1% we will see very soon with more of the antibody studies.

Im dealing with your bullshit in the other thread too. And the answer to this whole crisis boils down to one very simple and easy question. Do you think the death of 0.5% of the population should outweigh the catastrophic financial consequences that will lead to not only significant loss of life, but also the decreased prosperity and financial future for our country by continuing the quarantine? I am fine with social distancing and masks, but the quarantine needs to be done. And you keep dancing around the question.

what is the very least amount of people you need to conduct a game?

players, maybe less coaches, maybe less trainers, four refs (including emergency ref), people to clean up the court (like ball boys do) cameramen... maybe it's possible to hold a game with under 45 people?

security could wait outside the court. scorekeepers don't have to be on the sideline either, they don't even need to be in the arena.

Why should Trump be free from criticism if China isn't?

Of course he shouldnt be, but this isnt about him, so again thats odd you brought him up out of nowhere... It is about whether the quarantine (outisde of New York/New Jersey area) is causing more damage than good, and the answer is looking like a loud and clear yes.

I'm sure there are models for that as well.

As long as you manage the load on the hospitals, which we have been doing by wearing masks and social distancing, we are ready to go. I think the states opening will prove that its time to get on with our lives. A small spike is no reason for concern, a reason for concern would be overflowing hospitals.

I think that most states will follow the reopening guidelines set by the pioneers, never gonna get all the chaos out though, I agree, but by September, this will be a minor issue.

Should work out fine by your standards.

What makes you think the 'spike' is going to be small? Texas, for instance, is re-opening and the COVID-19 cases are on the rise. I think we'll see deaths double.


Barring any national standards for reopening or testing, it's going to be nothing but chaos the rest of the year. Unfortunately, yes.
