Wait you are saying the original model was correct and it was social distancing that accounts for the drastic change in predictions?

That's not what the data is showing but whatever helps you reconcile things in your head.

So you think the policy shift in the UK after that model was published (a model that included a worst case scenario of inaction which people here seem to think was the only number in the model) had no affect on UK transmission rates? That's not what the data is showing.

LOL. I own my own business. We are shut down. I could have opened but my guys said they would rather not. I was worried about them so I offered them the opportunity to work, safely. We can't work from home so I said we could alternate shifts where each could come in a day or two by themselves so they could get some hours without being exposed to others. You know how many took advantage? Zero. Not one. They seem less concerned about money than I do.

As to my son, he's a couple years out but I highly doubt he'll have any difficulty getting a job when the time comes.

Also, none? They sound lazy. Are there no customers worthy of your service or goods?

Here in east Tennessee it appears as though business as usual. I expected a ghost town. Normal idiot people in Friday traffic.

Whether you gas or not I just gave dude a like because I agreed that society wasn't "closed" or "shut down", I was in no way trying to make lite of anything. I am very aware of how serious this is.

Its obviously effecting everyone differently, I genuinely wish you the best. I'm good today, but might not be tomorrow, who knows.

They've closed parks. My goodness how the hell does someone think society isnt closed down. We are operating on just the necessities at the moment.

I was never even referencing you. I was referring to him and the lady at the mayor's office.

School. Dinner at a restaurant. Movie.

But this is normal, right?

So you're in grade school? I used to like recess too, but high-school and college age kids don't really need the teacher to hand hold them.

It is also a good time to learn a few recipes if you've never cooked. Your parents should be able to help so you don't burn down the house.

You might be right on movies, though. With a 60 inch 4k screen and Bose surround at home, it is pretty rare for my family to get to the movies any more.
