But descents look much slower than ascents






August? Try May.


I am hoping next week we will start seeing some downward slope. It is unlikely we will keep this pace of 2000 deaths per day for the next three weeks. But there is a risk of 2nd wave if we open up too soon and too widely.

To really get a handle on this we need to quarantine people who test positive in a separate location like a hotel so they don't spread it to the rest of the population. We should quarantine essential workers as well.

Unfortunately, Americans would never go for that.


You’ll have to provide some more specific details about your hotel plan.

Many places have not peaked yet.

This is going to 2008 all over again.
No one will answer for anything. Maybe Trump loses, but it is going to be such a monumental task, cleaning up the mess from this White House, there won’t be consequences for anyone.

Not a surprise, but there were Coronavirus deaths in the US prior to the first known in Washington State:

So I guess it's time to ease restrictions and start to reopen.
