re: The Curve Has Been Flattened Then What

Ideally, once we’re sitting “flat” with real time testing available and production of PPE, medical equipment, and meds in full swing and able to keep up, we start to open the economy back up.

Anyone who really wants to see things shifting back toward normal in April should hope Trump/Federal government is absolutely flooding NYC with supplies/ventilators with unprecedented speed.


If people start watching a disaster unfold in NY on par with Northern Italy --hospitals packed into hallways of severely sick people propped up on cafeteria chairs, doctors letting patients suffocate due to shortages of respirators etc etc -- there's not going to be many people for re-opening much of anything anywhere.

If they can show that necessary medical supplies and staff were overabundant to deal with a near "worst case" scenario in NYC without an Italian-level death rate, more people will feel that we can control this to a degree without total lock downs.
