Nope. And I don't even mind the result, I just think the metrics are goofy, the reasoning opaque, the date incomplete, and his assessment of the costs of closure half-assed. I wouldn't necessarily mind continuing the stay-at-home order in MoCo if I had any confidence in his methodology, but I don't.  And what's more I feel like the "stay closed" crowds are glossing over the glaring weaknesses in his approach, which makes me even less confident that were are going to have a competent response.[/quote]

I totally agree. Moreover, if people would actually LOOK at the dashboard (which I do every day) they would see that we are progressing on ALL metrics except for acute care bed utilization getting down to pre-pandemic levels, which is a ridiculous standard.[/quote]
I want to re-open, and we should do so carefully, but I don't think looking at ICU beds to make the call is ridiculous.  If the cases surge again, we do not want to be in a place where there are few ICU beds available, and not just for patients with covid.  The utilization threshold rate is 70%.  Is that pre-pandemic rate? I don't know.[/quote]

The pre pandemic levels were 50 to 60%. We too few ICU beds for a crisis or disaster situation.[/quote]
