    What is the goal?

    How do you measure performance against it?

    Ever decreasing R0 until it hits zero.

    You measure R0.

      It's not what you think it is or want it to be.

        That seems to be a goal that could take somewhat longer than flatten the curve.

        Do you have any idea how long that might take? My guess is that it could takes years. I assume you would abandon the social separation and stay at home policies long before that.

          Of course there is volatility around the estimates by state but it has consistently trended down to about 1 in the US as whole. So what is the issue?

              If the various R0 values presented by https://rt.live/ are to be believed, it looks like most states have their R0 values trending the wrong way. 😞

                I saw that yesterday. It seems like a sudden change, too. Things were looking much more favorable a day or two ago.. I wonder what happened

                    I built a Lunar Lander Game like that, written in 6502 assembler on the Commodore 64.

                    I uploaded it to the Q-Link game site. Q-Link aka Quantum Link. Steve Case became CEO of Quantum Link then it was renamed to AOL.

                      He rang the bell at the top of the dot-com era, selling AOL to the idiots at TW who didn’t realize its best days we’re behind it.

                        Switching AOL from a proprietary network to the internet seems like such an obvious thing to do from our current time. I remember it as kind of a bold move back then.

                        Of course it helped lead to the end of AOL dominance, still it let the company die a slower death.

                          It did, and I remember how big a deal it was for them at the time.

                          The clowns at TW didn’t have a mental model of how AOL fit with ‘the internet’ and they bought a dying property thinking they were investing in the future.

                          I remember people were pissed at Steve Case after it fell apart. But he was a genius. He sold high.

                                Let's hope the new numbers are accurate - that would be great news.

                                  About a week~10 days ago, we got down to only two states having R values above 1.

                                  As of this morning, there are nine states with R values above 1.

                                    Is the goal to keep the R value below 1? It’s going to spread as we open up. Do you want to keep the country in lockdown?

                                      Do you think it has anything to do with "re-opening," or is it a factor of having more positives because of testing?

                                          Is the goal to keep the R value below 1?

                                          The goal was to flatten the curve.

                                          We did that weeks ago.

                                          Mission accomplished.

                                          Since then the goal depends mostly on your hate level for the president.
