OT: Coronavirus
Yeah it's kinda crazy,  but every day our Gov., Iowa, tells us we are Iowans and we don't need anyone to tell you to stay home if your sick.  I don't know how that works when you have asymptomatic transmission.  I have an opinion why she is so adamant, it'll be interesting to see what her metric will be for the success of this policy.  I have a kid in DC and one in Hannover Germany, and been getting a lot of facetime communication with them,  it's a different thought process in those areas.

Governor of Florida has just issued a 'Stay at Home' order for the entire state. About time.
shocked to see 20% of the USA was still not under SAH orders as of last night.

What the heck is wrong with some of these Gov's?  Midwest (Dakota's, NE, Iowa) Tx, bunches in the SE. 

FL with it's elderly population? Too bad it took this long - even after the spring breakers fiasco it took this long. 

Kudos to CA and Washington State for their early orders to stay the f home.

the orders will go into effect once the virus is at a level to warrant it.  



But Jimmy, that assumes the levels are not currently at a degree to warrant SAH. That could only be answered if we had enough testing capabilities in the U.S. Only the very ill can get tested today. Unlike Gold Standard countries like SK. 

Asymptomatic transmission is probably the reason for 50% of Covid-19 growth. Something like that.

I think all team NFL facilities had to be shut-down?

they are watching it by monitoring the growth rate of new cases through those that are getting tested.  they know its going to come to that point,  but simply shuttering things for a few weeks wont stop the wave that is coming,  we will still experience the massive upswing like other areas and the goal is to hit the timing of that shut down just prior to that arriving to minimize the health effects at that time.   it may not be a perfect plan,  but to date we havent really seen even a reasonably  perfect plan that would work in a free country of our size and population.

People talk about the success in South Korea,  well they have much less travel from foreign countries, much less open borders,  are geographically smaller than minnesota,  really hard to replicate that type of response in a country infinitely bigger with 6 times the population and  different type of govt structure.

WTF difference does it make where they are meeting?  This is an absurd requirement and work around.

Those that are getting tested are only the seriously ill, there isn't enough testing to do otherwise. The asymptomatic are a big part of the problem. 

Fauci is arguing the time to double-down on SAH is before you have to - for these very reasons. 

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think your Gov is wrong, hasn't learned from recent history and I think Waltz was too late in issuing SAH for MN. 

shrug...

dont blame me... i voted for the other guy!

and for the record... I cant speak for other parts of the state,  but my area of SD is like 530 on a sunday morning at mid day.  there are a few out and about, but SD pretty much shut down a week and a half ago.  we dont need an official order in most places to do the right thing. (with exception of course)   not to mention  most of us would rather be alone or in small groups,  we dont have the big gathering attractions that the larger metro areas do.
