re: The Curve Has Been Flattened Then What

It's an interesting question, because you've got governor's announcing month long shutdowns over 90 hospitalizations and 2 deaths. If that is the threshold for a month long shutdown then I don't know how we ever move forward.

Like I was saying above, the way the federal government can best respond is by showing we are up to the task of dealing with this in urban areas like NYC/NOLA etc.

They're not going to convince enough people we should open more things back up if everyone sees NYC plummet into something like Northern Italy over the next 2 weeks. No way.


On the other hand, if NYC can handle this with organized and rapid Federal support of medical necessities without Italian level death rates, people will have LOT more confidence it can be handled in less populated areas without near lockdowns to keep numbers low.
