      #StayHome was a first step to flatten the curve. We reduced the infection rate likely from a number between 2 and 3 to closer to 1. Given exponential math & limited supplies & resources, this likely saved 10s if not 100s of thousands of lives. 3/

      But we only flattened the curve, we didn’t crush it. (And the virus is still there.) And we only flattened on average. In most places, the virus is still growing. Medium summarizes my tweets each night & I put this down a couple days ago. 4/pic.twitter.com/rHjpNMyp2b

      Hold on, isn't Metro Detroit still in the top ... 14th? Really? Since April 12, we're down 63% in patients receiving inpatient care, 55% in critical-care patients and 57% in patients on ventilators. The state was at 12K tests/day last week - the Harvard recommendation is 15K.

      Things were horrible here a month ago. Like New York, we've shown it can be turned around, but it is a slow process. Giving up too soon will be a mistake we regret for generations.

      That's exactly what I fear, that we'll back off too soon.

          In Michigan and Maryland, competent Governors are correctly limiting how much opens up but residents are getting really cavalier (many seeing national public conversation). Elsewhere, government is leading the charge to be irresponsible.
