    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.

            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.

                      The 'behavior' I was referring to was protests, political rallies, massive groups of people congregating at the beach. The cost of not doing those things is not too high IMHO.

                          What do you define as "high" and over how long of a period of time?

                          Virginia is adding on 500 cases a day, and we are being told that is quite manageable for a long time. On April 22nd we were adding on 600 cases a day and it was the apocalypse...

                            I agree about the beach, and I also agree about the current protests and rallies. However, that doesn't mean that the costs of all protests are too high. There are some political causes that are worth some risk.

                              Hypothetically, there's always something worth putting people at risk over. For some people, it's defending against the Nazi hordes, for others it's getting childcare 250 miles away and visiting a historic monument to "test their eyesight".

                                For some reason I cannot think of any political cause at the moment worth that risk. Colour me complacent.

                                  Black lives have been considered worthless for all of America’s history. If white people die of COVID due to the BLM protests, well, good.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                      According to rt.live Massachusetts now has the lowest transmission rate in the country. I seem to think 3 months ago we were 3rd or 4th highest.

                                      You do see a lot of masks here, even out in the burbs.

                                      I was only joking

                                        It’s true that Mass is doing a great job currently but so are most if not all the states that got hit the hardest initially. Whether they are doing something different or there is a bit of catch up going on is an interesting question. I have no position on this just a data observation.
