[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland’s metrics are worse than VA today on covidexit[/quote]

And worse than most other countries. Maryland had 925 new cases yesterday. For perspective, the entire country of Italy only had 198 new cases yesterday.

And yet we're still encouraging tourists to come visit MD?![/quote]

Maryland's population 6 million.  Italy 60 million!

[b]Maryland 154 new cases per million per day
Italy: 3 new cases per million per day

3 new cases per million per day!!   Don't tell me it can't be done.[/quote]

Yup, just let it burn through your population uncontrolled and voila! a few months later, you are golden.  See also, NYC.[/quote]

Gotta admit that I have been wondering about this possibility, too.

Stay at home orders and business closings are not letting it burn through your population uncontrolled.[/quote]

If you look at the infection curves in Italy and New York vs when the lockdown was done, it’s pretty clear the virus was rampant already when the lockdowns were ordered.  Some scientists even question whether those lockdowns did anything to control the virus because so many people were infected prior to the lockdowns that it had “peaked” on its own.  This is why those places have low numbers today.

And I know everyone hates Sweden, but, they also looked to have peaked and currently have rapidly decreasing cases and deaths.

But, for everywhere else, the infections are being drawn out by lockdowns and social distancing.  I’m not saying which way is correct, just that this is what is happening.

It will be interesting to see what happens in FL/TX/AZ in the next month or so to see if the current uncontrolled spread results in a peak and then a rapid decrease because the virus burned out in those places too.[/quote]
