Kolek planning to go pro
No one is saying we need NO new cases. That is an out and out falsehood. People that are saying it is too soon to open are saying that the original guidance of 14 days with DECREASING new cases is what needs to happen.
Absolutely correct.As I (and many others) have been saying here for weeks, I would like to see the three-phase reopening that starts with:* a 14-day downward trajectory of cases;* sufficient testing for all symptomatic individuals; and* sufficient contact tracing infrastructure to quickly track down anyone who had contact with people who test positive.Exactly as Trump promoted for about 15 minutes....
Cannot say a 14-day downward trajectory of cases it needs to be a downward trend of percentage of cases. I think that is what gets everyone confused. Have to look at percentage cause the numbers of tests have increased
That would be a reasonable approach too...but it has been rendered moot by the fact that many states are already reopening without even that. And I haven't seen anything to indicate that any state meets the other two criteria for testing and contact tracing.
I’m only one opinion, but it makes me feel good that my state has some objective targets we are working towards.... Is everyone else getting this type of info locally (plans, numbers, targets around PPE/hospitalization)? https://www.courant.com/coronavirus/hc-news-coronavirus-daily-updates-0507-20200507-7jdxhsdk2jhenmssfeqlznty3e-story.html
Average age of those that have died in the US is 75 per CDC. Massachusetts the avg age of victims is 82. Tennessee it is 72. New York 73. Not all states are reporting age of the victims in their public data.
Connecticut has been using a 14-day downward trajectory in hospitalizations.Frenns - did I get that right?
And your point is?
We don't need no stinkin' codgers in this country. Screw 'em!

Connecticut provided info has been excellent.I've been getting daily emails from Senator Chris Murphy and my State Senator. And they always have details from our governor including specific targets and specific information. My kids are happy to hear that summer camps can open June 29 with specific guidelines to be released on May 15. They were both hoping to have jobs this summer. They even released a phased-in plan up to Sept 1 for how universities and colleges can reopen in the state. (The work group was led by retired Yale President Richard Levin.)
