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.

I've noticed that trend as well.
Do you think it has anything to do with "re-opening," or is it a factor of having more positives because of testing?

It’s going to spread as we open up. I don’t think there are any people disallusioned about that fact.
We are just beginning to seethe economic pain.... the real layoffs are just starting. Stark choices ahead.

Rt.live not looking good. Might want to sit down before refreshing that rt.live page.

Looks great to me. Virtually unchanged since last week and generally better than last month.

Flatten the curve, not eradicate the virus. It's always been about not overwhelming the medical system.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Flattening the curve doesn't seem to be working for a lot of the country. Not particularly surprising when you see how everybody is behaving.
"Flattening the Curve" was all about not overwhelming the healthcare facilities, not about reducing mortality or infection rates.
I haven't read anything about hospitals and ICUs being overwhelmed, turning patients away in the last 5-6 weeks. Have you?
If not, the "flattening" has worked. If you want to talk about infection rates, that's another discussion.

Exactly. Suddenly everyone is moving the goalpost. It would be great if we could stop the spread completely, but the cost is likely too high, and that wasn’t the goal in the first place.

Unfortunately I think that one thing will lead inevitably to the other. I don't see how a high infection rate is sustainable without overwhelming the local hospitals. I'd love to be wrong.
I was only joking
