Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

So on Apr 24 Georgia governor Brian Kemp allowed many businesses to re-open, at their discretion, much to the chagrin of leftist rags like The Atlantic.

Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice: The state is about to find out how many people need to lose their lives to shore up the economy

However, a funny thing has happened in the 2+ weeks since the state re-opened: COVID cases have been steadily decreasing.

And no I'm not rooting for death. However, it's almost universally understood that the key time frame parameter is three weeks after the lifting of restrictions.

I guess you chose to completely ignore the source and graph I had posted about six minutes before you did.

And it's interesting and encouraging. The problem is that they've posited that it will be 3 to 4 weeks after the easing of distancing where a secondary spike will or will not show itself. That downward trend is still a function of lockdown. We're just entering the crucial stage, and the next 10 days or so should be very telling.

Not sure where you get "it's almost universally understood that the key time frame parameter is three weeks after the lifting of restrictions." I got my test results back in under 48 hours, and you can rest assured that those results where reported to the state within hours of the results coming back, quite possibly before my PCP was notified so he could notify me. I also acknowledge that the 7-day-moving-averages has already started going down a few days before the re-opening, so the downturn likely isn't because of the reopening.

You're one person. The impacts of an entire area being released into the wild might be a little bit different, don't you think?

Anyone ever flushed a go pro?

Oh, so test results take longer to register positive or negative the more people are out and about. Got it.

If more people start getting sick due to more people being out and about, then more people will go to hospitals and, "tah-daah!", the figures increase. It doesn't take a hospital any more time to report up the chain if they had two positive cases that day or 50 cases.

By the way, today's (May 10th) death total of 750 is the lowest since Mar 29th...

This could help explain how Ohio has been doing better than TSUN on the virus.

For decades lots of folks in Ohio have been flushing twice to send their shit up north.

So when you travel to Georgia, exactly what type of business do you patronize?

You're assuming there's widespread testing. The cumulative total of all testing is still at only 3% of the population. The key factor will be new hospitalizations and deaths in the 3-5 week window. If we had widespread testing and contact tracing, I'd agree with you, but we're far from it.
