Increased testing?
If this is the case numbers will go up in all states. This should be lowering the mortality rate even more. Bring on herd immunity!!!!! I need a freaking haircut!!!!!!

I think this whole thing is mostly BS, but I also think that people around Atlanta have been a little complacent these last few days. If they're really so convinced we're through the worst of it, they should get their lazy adult snow day-wanting asses back to work.

More people will catch covid and die when we open up
Anyone who thinks otherwise is retarded
That’s not the point. We can’t hide forever

Cool. More cases of a virus that kills zero point something % of those affected. I wonder why they aren't reporting: huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths?

You can't have a spike in cases due to opening the economy after a couple days.
Try again Dims. You should have waited at least a couple weeks to claim this BS

We have so many seeds now that I, in my completely unqualified opinion, think that new spread will be pretty rapid as compared to the initial outbreak, but it's still early for the new numbers to be related to opening up. More than likely citizens stopped taking the stay-at-home orders seriously and started getting out and in contact with each other.
Ultimately we all should expect higher case counts and higher deaths as we open up but it's expected and accepted. As long as we don't overwhelm healthcare systems the deaths will come sooner or later.

You don't know that. I don't know that it would or would not, either. I am not claiming it would, especially if we take precautions and don't overwhelm our systems. But overwhelming hospitals definitely leads to a much higher % of deaths.

Bingo. Just like our twisted MSM ignoring NY while putting the sights on red states. That's all this is. Want to open up and resume to normal? Now we will take the fear porn up 10 notches.
Want this to all end? Vote Democrats. That's the only way this ends.
PS - frick Democrats

You will have to remove your mask to read this but Louisiana has 42 deaths per 100K population and GA only has 11 per 100K. LINK

we will not be able to prevent the spread of the virus. we will see peaks. this is a fact. timing is the only variable.
and we have to. we cannot shelter inside indefinitely. we need healthy people to catch it, get over it, and us develop herd immunity.
stop fear mongering. it's time to go back to real life unless you are 60+ and have pre-existing conditions. then keep your arse home.

Could this be the Easter spike that was projected by many??????

That doesn't definitively mean that it would not have happened.
I think it extremely unlikely, but it's not 0.
But all that's besides the point. Because we did shut down, and now we have an entirely different scenario.
There's a valid reason to moderate opening into phases and being measured. We lose significantly more lives if we overwhelm our healthcare system, and the economic impacts of a virus run amok are significant as well. It may be that we can opening everything up fully and not blow up our healthcare systems but that seems unlikely to me.
I also expect the media to make reopening a circus. We will see more cases and deaths, without question, but they will harp on all of it.

You love to keep harping on this as you continue passively fear mongering and defending models that incorrectly forecasted millions of deaths.
The exact opposite of your position is equally true. One could argue the shutdowns has no impact on the resulting spread of this virus. Or perhaps it had been around far longer than originally thought, had already past its peak spreading mark, and everything that’s happened from a transmission perspective in the last 6 weeks would’ve happened anyway.
The chances of that might be extremely unlikely, but they certainly are not 0.

Y'all are both harping on a point I'm not trying to actually care about.
I'm not trying to argue that the original Imperial Model was even close to accurate. In all likelihood it was not.
The only point I care about right now is that it's time to open with preventative measures, because we face questions and unknowns.
NYC and New Orleans systems were close to overloaded but the shutdowns came in time.
If we open everything up with no mitigation there's no logical reason to think we don't wind up in the same boat.

You're telling me increased testing found more cases?
