[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very real question: Seattle is theoretically ~7 weeks into community spread.  Coastal cities should be into their outbreaks.  Shouldn't we already be seeing major increases in hospital admissions, ER visits, ICU overruns?  It isn't happening at this point.  The situation at the LTC facility has been an absolute nightmare - total hell.  But outside of that, are we seeing the doomsday scenario?  Should we take some comfort in the fact that this has not become a widespread disaster at this point?  Perhaps it simply isn't spreading here the way it has in Italy, or the strain has not been as lethal? [/quote]

Yep.[/quote]

Seattle has done some things right to slow the spread. Some of the biggest employers like Microsoft and Amazon are letting people work from home. The UW classes and final exams are now online. There are news photos of how empty downtown Seattle is now during times that used to be busy. The fact that it has not spread faster, in Seattle, could be because they are doing some things right, and should not be used as a comparison to what might happen if there is an outbreak in another major coty.[/quote]

What good is it?
Purely stupid:

“This is not an exclusion or quarantine zone. No one is prohibited from entering or leaving the area,” said New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson. “This does not affect individual homeowners or families or businesses. It is purely a prohibition on large gatherings in order to make sure the spread of the virus is mitigated to the greatest degree possible.”
Cuomo's NY National Guard containment zone is using the National Guard to clean and enforce no large gatherings.  Why can't people who live there clean or won't they?  No one is contained and people can enter and leave the Cuomo Containment zone.  So you might have been exposed and are capable of giving others the virus and go to work, visit out of state or in  state, go to a show in NYC.  Ride the subway.  Sit near a nurse and then what?https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2020/03/10/coronavirus-new-rochelle-containment-area/

The Seattle area has 10 nursing homes/assisted living facilities with coronavirus patients - deaths at more than 1 facility.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/virus-cases-in-at-least-10-seattle-area-nursing-homes/ar-BB10ZT25
