I mean New Orleans is going to have the Problem...Over and Over and over...1st it was Seattle has a problem, Florida? etc. etc.  The only major problematic Urban area I see is CHICAGO it's been going on for weeks their attitudes and cultures are showing...... 

My point was they didn’t have the same problem, comparably speaking. But had large crowds. Throw in the maniac gatherings at grocery stores early on. The cure is going to be worse than the disease once those tallies are in. Don’t worry the press will tally it all. The headline will be Trumps over reaction causes heat ache for country. Just before the election.

If state gov and the company CEO (or plant manager) would have allowed one of every two employees stay home to recover, the company would have achieved social distancing by default.  Their closed "essential plant" would have produced less, but they would have remained open.

Unfortunately, meat packing plants are past that now, so an Executive Order will be signed for these plants to remain open, some have to reopen.  The conundrum, an Executive Order can keep the plants open, but to my knowledge, can't force a worker (sick or not) back to work.

An additional 2450 death has been recorded in the US today. The total number of Covid-19 cases around the world is now 3 million. I feel like things will never be the same even if the pandemic is over. My brother is already tired from a 12 hours shift so that he can take care of his patients. He is trying to be optimistic every time I talk to him, how can you argue with someone who is passionate about helping others. He is lucky that both his SWAB test results are negative even if he is experiencing sore throat and fever, he badly needs to rest.

What actually scares me is not necessarily the numbers we see in the news every day.

What scares me is how easy it is to bring our "western economies" down.

I can only hope that those "individuals", who hate the western economies, don't have any means of watching the news....

 

so long

This is what they are calling 'Flattening the Curve' Average new cases are level around 80K a day. They want to see this number decline steady for two weeks. 

They at least hope that the number of new cases at plateau remains 

under the peak the medical fields effective treatment capacity. 

 

 

This is the rate of acceleration curve. To hold the above graph level the acceleration needs to be zero.

And stay there.

 

 

This curve is the one that needs to flatten.

No one talks about this one.

This one will not flatten until there are no more new cases. 

More new cases breeds more deaths.

 

 

As of today more people have died of COVID-19 in the USA in just under three months than ALL US Military deaths over twenty years in Vietnam.

 

FYI

There are much worse places to be than the USA. Much worse. South Africa. Brazil. China walled in the city. Photo for that one.

As I suggested throughout this thread. It appears the more testing that’s being done, the more the death rate per infected drops. The what if’s and other comparisons are bound to be all over. Shamefully depending on the political persuasions the one thing is certain. A true accounting is going to hard to come by. The only real comparison should be. The virus verses the cure. That is the shut down. The fall out plus the misery is going to be felt long after the virus subsidies. Without honest accounting and lessons learned. This kind of co- operation wouldn’t happen again.

Number 1, it’s a new bug no vaccines, unlike the flu. Number 2 We are entering month 3 or 6 or more depending on who you believe . Some say it was around much sooner. And I may add, it’s not as of yet at the worst flu year certainly in hospitalizations or deaths. Just two years ago. One thing for certain it’s scared the daylights out of everyone. Some needlessly.

What is really scary to is now about the same number of Americans have died in 4 months as the whole 10 years of the Vietnam war.

That kind of comparison is useless and has no purpose. The comparison should be whether to have isolation or not. Just how many are really infected and who really is at risk. Just in case there’s a next wave. The Vietnam war and after proved unless you’re in it to win don’t do it. Plus those deaths were youngsters with whole lives ahead of the them. Most people who get this bug are at the other end of the spectrum. And can stay at home. Comparison for comparison sake doesn’t accomplish much, other than gee wiz.
