Well that’s the problem - without data-based goals, you really have no way of knowing if we’re close. We are very close to coming off the ny/no/ct list.
As they say “you get what you measure”

I truly think people would behave differently if they had a goal and tracking - “if our cases per 100,000 for a rolling 14 day average are below 10 (or 5 or 3 or 50 - I don’t know the right number since I’m not an epidemiologist) - and Ro is below 1, then schools will be open” is pretty powerful incentive for people to behave.

Instead we’re just aimlessly living through this without any goal or end in sight.[/quote]

I think setting some kind of a goal or a bar is good, but I think you're highly overestimating its affect on people.

Many people who don't care will continue to not care.  Many more will not even know of it.  A lot of the rest will suffer from optimism bias, e.g. "I can do xyz because I'm careful, and it won't happen to me."[/quote]
