[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TEN DAYS AGO in Italy:  1000 cases  (similar to what we have in the US currently).

NOW in Italy:  10,000 cases!

This virus explodes fast!

Italy is much smaller, but the cases can just ramp up quickly.  That's why shutting down our schools/offices/businesses now makes sense.  Usually we think of doing that only AFTER we have a positive infection in our schools or work places.  But, with this virus, it's too late to wait for the infection to come that close.

If we want to end up like Italy, then we should keep taking half-measures.  If we want to squish down the transmission rates, then we really do need to shut things down.

I normally do NOT advocate for snow days or other sky-is-falling reactions.  But, in this case, the science says we need to shut things down very soon to kill off transmission of the virus.  It looks like an over-reaction, but it's actually just the RIGHT level of reaction.[/quote]

Totally agree with everything you said, need to react NOW!
