    If we reopen without locating and containing the virus then why did we shut down in the first place?https://twitter.com/ndrewkellyborel/status/1250519360902397954 …

    Why would it magically disappear? Seems silly

        Social distancing was never about locating and containing the virus. It was about slowing the spread, flattening the curve, allowing the inevitable to happen without overwhelming hospitals. Which are now sitting idle.

        Great question. If we used this 45 days to ramp testing capability, prepare hospitals, establish policy, then perhaps it was worthwhile. Otherwise it was a total waste. Seemingly hospitals aren’t altering the health outcome very much, so not sure that matters at all.

        That's what this was all about. Was stated at the beginning but got lost as time went on. People began believing it was about defeating the virus. It was about flattening the curve in order to deal with it w/o overwhelming the system & get testing, etc. in place.

        We shouldn't have - we miscalculated the risk based off of bad modeling and media induced panic.

        Sweden did nothing and frankly has a better outcome without destroying their economy.

        It basically magically disappeared in China, so why not here? 3 snapshots w/ dates shown. What has China done to virtually stop their numbers? What are we doing to stop the spread in America? Europe? The world? What makes China so special. Source of photo: http://ncov2019.live pic.twitter.com/eC9hk54twF

        A Chinese have figured out how to make it disappear by lying. when you have a totalitarian regime and control all the news, it's real easy to make the disease disappear. Now, the disease is still probably running unabated, but we'll never know.

        To limit healthcare capacity. It gave us time to mass produce the shortage areas, not overwhelm hospitals. @arabbitorduck am I rite?

        Notice the official guidelines, the 15 and 30 days, stated in their titles "30 Days to SLOW the Spread" — not to "eliminate the spread." This was all about hobbling the virus so it had to limp instead of running full-speed amok. It was to protect the hospital system. It worked.

    Loading seems to be taking a while.
