Covid-19 - Opening gates. Find higher ground.

Appears that other counts are catching up to Hopkins. Curious if Covid Tracking catches up today as well.

Just over 37k deaths now. 31k new positives yesterday.

I'm worried that the Holidays last week faked us out and we're trending up. They've built the momentum to start opening up. I can't picture our feckless leader admitting an error so there's no turning back now.

tl;dr We might be fucked.

The PUA portal is now open. If you're self employed or a gig worker and couldn't file for unemployment before you now can.

President Donald Trump unveiled a proposal this week to reopen America’s gyms in spite of the coronavirus outbreak after a phone call that included the head of the company that owns luxury fitness brands Equinox and SoulCycle,

Much ado is all I see
And I feel like it's surrounding me
The crowd intrudes all day
Till I'm finally swept away

I don't understand what's so bad other than the singing.

Well that and that some of them on there seem to really be taking themselves too seriously. And it's an odd choice of songs under the circumstances. Thousands dying, millions losing jobs..."Imagine there's no heaven", "Imagine no possessions". Gee thanks for that!

With this band of idiots running things, I'm pretty sure the decision to open things up will be based on a weekend of inaccurate data and a Dr. Oz testimonial

Excellent column on how/when sports can return. By an epidemiologist who answers all the major questions without making a prediction or taking a political stance.

My takeaway: Nothing for a few months, at which point sports are possible but the fewer people involved, the better. The "bubble" options are doable but really much harder than I had imagined if you do it right. So most likely we just have to wait until conditions are safer and form a plan at that time.
