Should US open economy sooner in May or wait more.

  1. Wrong GA showed a 64% increase in cases since opening. Of course there are going to be spikes and surges in every state that opens. Denying it and being “positive” won’t stop it. It has been and will continue to surge. Should people return to work? That decision should be up to them, I suppose, if they are willing to take the risk.

  2. GA new cases statistic by John Hopkins University:
    4/21 768. 5/11 166
    4/22 936. 5/12 846
    Sorry, I do not see any spike there.
    I looked all data in between these dates as well.
    Already three weeks in the row so should be already shown.

    Yes, unfortunately, it was presented to us, just like a prison. Unfortunately, now the situation in the world has changed a lot ..
    We hope for a positive!

  5. Listen it’s JH University independent data. Don’t listen what media saying. Data is available take it and make your judgment.

  7. Btw other open states data also does not show any spikes. My take on this that we got much more people exposed, then official statistics show. If it got to the level of 60% exposed then worse we passed. If we don’t open economy we will land to Deep Depression.
    Anyway 46 states will be open by end of May. So we will come closer to recovery.

  8. The data is backdated. You just watch in a couple of weeks the narrative will change. States that opened are doing their damndest to massage the data. And to not test more. See, they have to report the data. Johnny Hopkins ain’t gonna mosey down to GA and scrounge up the data themselves.

    Take an adjacent state, Alabama. They are opening up even though daily the cases are increasing daily. And try to get a test done in Alabama. Or Georgia. Or MS. Good luck on that.
