Data only includes 1st week of March. Overall deaths. Fewer traffic accidents, etc.

What if this is just one big social experiment?

I would hope fewer died in a week than the entirety of last year.

Strong argument for permanent quarenteen, imo.

Which is another reason we need to do away with DST. Stay home and live. No more weekday ballgames.

Cali, Oregon, and WA were already ramping up.

FL and others already declared emergency.

If this is correct, then the numbers ought to plummet in the third and fourth weeks in March and early April. We shall see.

This was predicted but didn’t get much media attention. Fewer people on the roads, fewer construction accidents, fewer gang related killings, fewer mass murders due to fewer large gatherings and most importantly, seasonal flu deaths are taking a dive because of isolating and better hygiene.

Now let’s watch to see if domestic violence type deaths spike.

Give it time and suicides would probably increase dramatically.

That's not a large scale quarantine and not the same as what started or was starting to get announced middle of the next week (2nd week of March 8th-14th), and really kicked in across country the 3rd week March 15 - March 21.

Florida's emergency declaration first week was about releasing resources to increase testing and so on. They had 2 positives at the time and 184 being monitored. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/cdc-confirms-2-cases-of-coronavirus-in-florida-184-others-being-monitored

Fake News
There were no Quarantines the first week of March

March 9th - FL declared emergency

March 8th - Washington officials were considering mandatory social distancing measures to combat the coronavirus

So?

The result was, at the very least, a behavioral change that appears to have had a clear effect.

I mean the last graphic is pretty telling.

Would be just a fantastical coincidence, of insane proportions. Is that your assertion?

I mean. . .

The tweet I got it from refers to a quarantine.

Technically there is no quarantine now.

But if we want to swing the semantics cat around. . .The first COVID patients had been in quarantine well before March 7th

Can you read what I questioned or not?

I am questioning your labeling of what was happening the 1st week in March as a quarantine.

Now you are defending it by implying I questioned data on deaths. I don't care about your data. I didn't even go to link to confirm as it doesn't matter to what I questioned about your post.
