IIRC the increase/spike was because the government decided to report “asymptotic” cases in addition to “confirmed” cases. I didn’t see that in the article.

My impression was that this was done as a way to somehow justify forcing people (specifically foreigners) into government-run quarantine sites... presumably to shore up confidence among people and businesses that continued measures to reopen the economy are not somehow reckless in the face of the imported cases.

Then when they realized that they couldn’t / didn’t want to handle the mass influx because of the tests that would be required and complaints from people about having to pay to stay at these government-run quarantine facilities (basically hotels), the government then just banned all incoming international passengers with a few exceptions.

It’s interesting to watch how “policy” works here compared to other countries where there seems to be debates ad nauseam... for better or worse.

Oh, all that damned ad nauseum debating.

Read this earlier its pretty good, the actual TLDR version is, where there is more Covid 19 there are more dead people.

But the whole thread is pretty good.

Really good stuff, and a rare moderate viewpoint on this topic.

Here's a non-moderate point of view from me:



GET THE FUCK OUT!

You're already fucking up fishing out of state jackasses. If you do your 14 day quarantine, you can play golf. Else, buh bye.

(now, note, I'm not endorsing National Guard checkpoints to send them back, I'm just saying, if you're at a Perrysburg Golf pro shop, you know, check some ID's)

New York testing a serum on patients, https://www.yahoo.com/news/plasma-treatment-being-tested-york-213100838.html
" As patients with COVID-19 continue pouring into emergency departments and intensive care units across the nation, an old treatment that has been adapted for a new disease is being tested in New York.

In the past few days, the Mount Sinai Hospital System has injected more than 20 very sick coronavirus patients with a "convalescent serum" based on the blood plasma of people who have recovered from the disease."
