The current level of lockdown in the US seems to be yielding linear growth for the virus (to be confirmed over the next couple of weeks). With a fairly high slope. This isn't good.
We need #TestAndTrace at scale.
IMO linear growth is almost inevitable, because we have a dynamic system on our hands: - Faster growth leads to tighter lockdown in the short term - Tighter lockdown leads to decreasing cases after 2 weeks, which means some people will resume activity, resulting in faster growth
Like in many similar "exponential growth vs exponential friction" systems, linear growth is the stable point. Or rather, oscillations with a period of 1-4 weeks around linear growth.
The only way out is either herd immunity or mass vaccination. Which is much further in the future.
Test and Trace would an effective alternative to get to a progressive decrease in the number of cases. We need Test and Trace. The real question is whether the US can implement it (perhaps some states can).
What is the significance of the “high slope”? How is it “not good”?
Slope is rate of increase in cases/deaths. Linear means constant increase in the numbers of cases/deaths, every day, the same number of new cases/deaths is added to the total. It's bad because it won't stop until everyone* is infected. *Within some margin of 100%
Hard to know what is going on if tests aren’t being processed before the samples expire.
The positivity rate of the tests has increased over time...
