[quote=Anonymous]This is what we need to be doing:

[quote]Mitigation = some reduction in the rate of R (the reproduction number of the virus) through diagnostic testing and contact tracing.
Suppression = an effort to get to zero or near zero case incidence.

Both mitigation and suppression require a suite of activities ranging from stay-at-home advisories to 6-foot social distancing to mask wearing to TTSI implementation. TTSI is a tool that can be deployed at either mitigation or suppression levels. [b]However, we strongly recommend jurisdictions that have the capacity to deliver suppression-level surge resources for TTSI to pursue a suppression strategy as they will be on the most efficient path toward a restored economy without future lockdowns[/b][/quote]

Maryland is already midway into the orange level, and since we aren't doing much suppression it will be a matter of weeks before we are at the red level.    [/quote]
