#1 I notice that the stupid virus can't tell the difference between R & D.

#2 Well, you have had 4 months to prepare. It was never suppose to be about stopping. It was to buy time to have the equipment and personnel in place.

#4 ^ Uh huh. How TF are they going to do that? Air passengers that pass thru on a non-stop will be forced to? Vehicle inspection points? Quarantine officers on rail "checking your papers"?

#9 Flattening the curve? Yeah it worked, but (to abuse the allegory) people forget there is still a curve to be navigated. You still need to exercise some steering and control of your velocity if you dont want to spin out and wreck.

#10 Still plenty in the press working hard to milk this. Items they are leaving out - a significant percentage of new cases are a result of increased testing, and deaths continue to decline.

#12 For the last five weeks, new cases have run 20-30,000 but the number of serious/crital rmains about 16,000 total. Some 100k new cases and no change in the serious/critical.

COVID deaths peaked about April 18 at some 3,000 per day, trending down to under 500 this week, but jumped up all the way to 872 yesterday.

That's nationally, of course. Some places are better/worse than average. Most of this comes from daily tracking of Worldometer.
