[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 728844, member: 1776"] It's definitely not panic porn, just accurate numbers giving a sense of where we are today (not where we have to be tomorrow). It's also not run away we're going to die - just the opposite, i'd like to run towards it and deal with it head on. Unfortunately we have had too many leaders at the Federal, State and local level who have run away from it and tried to pretend it would just disappear on its own rather than dealing with it and making it go away. That has caused our current situation where most countries are becoming less restrictive and we are getting more restrictive. I'm not panicked, i'm disappointed about how many more Americans are going to have to die because we don't want to deal with this in an intelligent and strategic manner. Deaths have increased significantly this week - that is simply a fact. It doesn't mean we are going to have the same daily death totals as we did in late March/April - the lower infection mortality rate should help with that. But they are likely to rise for at least the next few weeks as they represent a 4-5 week lag from what has occurred. Hospitalizations have increased by huge amounts and are now at their highest point since May 2. That is simply a fact. And they will get worse before it gets better as the hospitalizations won't decrease until the cases and positive case rate decrease. We should be looking at what has happened elsewhere around the world- this isn't a US problem, its a world wide problem. We need to look at what best practices have worked and then have a strategic plan for which of those best practices makes sense for the US. Then we need to implement those plans and measure the results. And then make changes if some of those strategies don't work until we get ahead of this virus. If people are posting inaccurate info then I may choose to correct that info. The more accurate information we have the better decisions we can make, the fewer lives we have to lose, and the quicker we get our economy going again and get to a new normal. [/QUOTE]
