as soon as Hong Kong eased up its social restrictions, COVID-19 flooded back

Hong Kong recorded 48 new coronavirus infections on Friday, the biggest daily jump since testing began, as medical experts warned the influx of arrivals from overseas had raised the risk of a resurging outbreak to its highest level yet.
The new confirmed cases take the city’s total number to 256, and a top microbiologist said Hong Kong might be on the edge of an all-out “war” against an explosion in infections.
quote:
“When one patient passes the virus to two people in the community to form an unknown number of hidden transmission chains, then it’s very likely that we will have 400 to 600 cases in the next two weeks,” he said. If that happened, then “Hong Kong is at war”.

This is the United States. We figure it out. Put us in the crosshairs and we will respond.

Liberals say you need to donate those to NY and California because us southerners are too stupid to live.

Which is why not even having a surplus of tests by now to provide better data ranks high on the list of total failures in better dealing with this.

Not enough because Alabama is full of mouth breathers

doubt the shortage is as severe as some say right now. It may get worse, but there arn't tens of thousands in ICU due to this virus.
another guy who cant do arithmetic.
the race is to invent test and produce vaccines and even cures before the number of cases that need ventilators exceed the supply.
there is no way to assume 800 will be enough if people continue to do business and
mingle as if theres nothing going on.

Alabama sounds like it’s up a creek then

So clearly this is not a good answer because viruses appear in clusters and not evenly dispersed across a state.
However, if you take the current data set - ~5% of confirmed cases need a ventilator - and extrapolated it out, it would mean that when Alabama hit 16,000 confirmed and current cases, it would hit the 800 ventilator threshold.
