    @Copper

    I think mostly you see that more dense areas are at greater risk and are taking it more seriously. Those happen to be more democratic.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Look at the county data. It took 2 weeks after people started social distancing before they even started to report an influx in cases. In those two weeks, the flu conspiracy nutters had a point, didn't they? No cases at all!

      Then look what happened after. Travel was reduced overall, but we still see a spike in cases. Because there are plenty of people who are still not doing what they're supposed to.

        C- in my county. This surprises me, based on what little I see. It may be because of a lot of healthcare workers.

        Surprises me even more because MFR and i are clearly A++. We have had an average of one trip out every 9 days, and that only to pick up groceries where they bring them to your car for you.

          @Mik same. We've been on home lockdown since the 14th.

                  LD - it’s all a comparison to before so even if people are driving locally there are thousands that aren’t commuting to DC every day.

                  I’m sure that gives us our good numbers.

                  Rachel and I go out every day for a walk. We often try new spots that require us to drive 2-7 miles each way.

                  But she’s not commuting to Manhattan 5 days a week.

                    Why can't we employ the GPS tracking on our phone in the same way Taiwan is? I mean, the NSA already is, actively. Why the hell not turn that data into something useful for public health?

                          @Loki The folks who test positive should all have their contacts notified. We already do that but I understand that's a voluntary process. It shouldn't be voluntary.

                          And when you're out, you should be notified via alert message when you get within X feet of someone who has Y degrees of known social separation away from someone who tested positive. We can already do this, very easily.

                            My county gets a B- , and the closest county gets a B. Kind of surprised at both of those, but it's a good surprise.

                                And that’s the battle that will play out this summer as we decide whether we’ll be a ‘test and trace’ country or a ‘successive wave’ country. At least until vaccine.

                                      Society? Nothing.

                                      The federal government? Rights enumerated elsewhere, you can look them up.

                                      Well if people want to be selfish moochers that's their perogative, but it's thinking like that that drags down the economy.

                                      Please love yourself.

                                        @Loki The folks who test positive should all have their contacts notified. We already do that but I understand that's a voluntary process. It shouldn't be voluntary.

                                        And when you're out, you should be notified via alert message when you get within X feet of someone who has Y degrees of known social separation away from someone who tested positive. We can already do this, very easily.

                                        I just read a second person account of someone who’s Mom went back to South Korea and the GPS tracking app is exactly what she got along with other materials to survive the quarantine. It is a fascinating question as to whether Americans would agree to that. Just thinking about the Patriot Act for example.

                                          My town is pretty OCD - so A. We have little traffic. People are out walking their dogs, some running. I run on the street and keep about 20 feet from anyone either direction. What's amusing to me is that is not enough for some folks. They will move across the street so we have 60-80 feet of distance. Go figure.

                                          Driving through Chicago late at night - and got an emergency text saying - "you shouldn't be here" - kind of a Big Brother feeling to that.
