[quote=Anonymous]The Arizona public health department shut down the academics who were modeling various reopening scenarios after the governor announced the "easing" of social distancing. They also stopped the scientists' access to special data that the state has on the outbreak.

The government KNOWS that they're creating a huge outbreak, but they don't want you to know. It's 1918 all over again!

[quote]The universities' model had shown that reopening at the end of May was the only scenario that didn't dramatically increase cases.

In late April, Tim Lant, a mathematical epidemiologist at ASU, said the model showed five different scenarios for how the disease could progress in Arizona, depending on how social distancing efforts were relaxed.

The slowest curve, based on if the state reopens at the end of May, is “the only one that doesn't put me immediately back on an exponential growth curve,” Lant said in April. That’s because transmission rates would be lowest at that time, he said.

“I can say, scientifically, no, it's not safe to reopen unless you're planning on, you know, shutting down again after a couple of weeks, and we can help figure out what the appropriate amount of time is to stay open before we shut down,” he said.[/quote]
