Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Vermont has 5 or 6 towns performing testing. You have to register and you do not have to have symptoms. Also 2 weeks quarantine for anyone coming from out of state.
At the beach in SC our pool is open and renters from non hot spots (eye roll here) are allowed. My sister says that very few people are wearing masks.
Here in northern CT, I am happy to report that just about everyone is wearing the masks. Of course I have mostly been to places where they are required.
Just searched CT testing, looks like we have quite a few, some require a referral, some don't.

Let’s see where the per capita numbers are in a few months if they continue with current protocols.

Some people were claiming Sweden had it right from the start. Maybe they just got lucky thanks to geography in the early stages.

 

Sweden has roughly the same population as North Carolina in an area roughly the size of California. Lots of small towns, lots of open space, less inclined toward public transportation and more of a car culture than the typical European country. The virus has hit old people and immigrant communities particularly hard. Edit to add: Stockholm is a secondary travel hub; most Scandinavian flight connections are handled in Copenhagen.

 

This graf really struck a note:

Sorry for the individuals involved, and I hope it doesn't hurt the quality of the publication too much. Now I'll feel awkward when I make fun of their recent article about how racist crossword puzzles are.

There’s no gotcha, it’s only a gotcha if you’re willing to be led by the nose. Everything you learn is that one data point is a static point, it’s about what’s happening in the long run. Making a conclusion based on one data point is a great way to lose/die.

So it looked good prior to the last seven days, what if in the next 30 days it accelerates? That prior period is going to look like nothing but a harbinger before the crisis.

7 days is short but more than just one day. In the last 30 days, 7 is small but as the last week? It’s good data and ominous.

I’m not looking for a gotcha. I’m looking for data.
