Kolek planning to go pro
So the positives are going down despite far more testing, glad we agree
The numbers show that those states with extended stay at home orders usually see flattening. It makes sense. I have never said that states shouldn't open back up and in fact I am largely supportive of how Wisconsin's counties have managed this. The chaos we saw early after the Court's ruling was by and large replaced by common sense orders. But even then cases are rising. Yet the health care system seems to be managing it well.But two months ago we were not ready. The orders gave us time to order PPE, ventilators, ramp up testing, etc. And the unemployment numbers are a GREAT sign. They really are. It shows that the shut down had positive health benefits, and that that negative economic benefits were temporary. At least I hope so. We will see.
We are seeing a second spike in Wisconsin. Three of the five highest death totals (and the two highest) have come in the past 10 days. 6 of the 10 highest dates with the most confirmed cases have been since Memorial Day.The good news is that percent of positives is down, but that is also because they are now testing more asymptomatic patients so that was always expected (while they can turn up positive, there were no asymptomatic tests given early on). There was a spike after Memorial Day and if the correlation there is actually causation we should expect to see another.I know that the facts don't comport with the narrative you want to embrace, but I don't think the facts have any real care for your feelings, so sorry about that.
The hospitals are definitely more prepared and at least from a first responder standpoint, having experience and protocols in place has made it something we can manage better than we could 2 months ago.The problem still remains testing and contact tracing. The best way to slow future outbreaks is to identify and stop them as soon as they happen. Without a thorough nationwide testing and tracing plan, which is virtually non-existent at this point, we are going to be chasing outbreaks for who knows how long.
What u are proposing is virtually impossible and really most likely wholly ineffective anyway. Fine in theory, but will not ever work
350 Million people. Test takes about 15 minutes to administer and get the results. Do the math. Or should we only test 200 million leaving 150 million people untested.? What if it takes 30 days to test 200 million people. I was tested on day one. Do I stay quarantined for the next 29 days? And then when I get out, on average 40 percent of the people I come in contact with haven't been tested.
