The Swedish do nothing approach to dealing with COVID seems to be working. They have had less than a total of 50 deaths on a projection of over 400 the last 3 days.20200414_001041.jpg20200414_000908.jpg

Sign the Petition

This is a link to a petition directed to Governor Lee, urging him to resume essential healthcare services and education to the state of Tennessee. Please review, sign, and share.

I followed my PCP into his concierge program this year. I think I was supposed to get screened for a bunch of things that insurance wouldn't cover until you already have problems. Guessing that won't happen since there's going to be a huge backup of folks needing diagnostic testing.

Curious if everyone is counting these the same. Maybe some jurisdictions are ascribing deaths to an underlying health condition that makes a person vulnerable instead of the virus?

IMHE model just changed again. Now we're supposed to have 68k deaths nationwide. Tennessee is down to 481. These guys should just throw in the towel

It has Non-essential services listed as Not implemented for South Carolina and the order went into effect within days of Tennessee putting it into place there. These people don't have a clue!

I don’t think a change like that warrants throwing in the towel - they’ve made one huge error in their assumptions and that was around resource load (hospital beds, ICU beds, ventilators) needed for (or scaled up from) each person that dies. Beyond that they seem to be nailing the peak in the US and their death modeling has been alright. They said the US would peak at 2,300 deaths/day in the second week of April on their very first model release back around 3/23. We peaked at 2,050 in the second week of April. They started at 80k deaths, went up to 92 or so, and then lowered it to the 60s when they revised their hospital requirement assumptions. 60-90k actually isn’t that wide of a range when you could be in multiple 100s of thousands. Because they did so well on peak timing I think we need them around as we plan for going back to work.

I work for a pretty large company (international, Fortune 150) and our CEO has been meeting with other CEOs and government (virtually) in similar types of industries to lay out a plan for returning, so good to hear the administration is seeking input on how we manage this. They are discussing plans around antibody testing and how we return to work differently (lots of social distancing and changes in the way we work).

If you look at the Population Density of the most infected and most deathly areas you will find that they are high... for example, NYC is 28000 + per sq mile. Union City NJ 54,000 people per sq mile. NYC per square Mile is bigger than 80%+ of the cities in Tennessee. Union City, NJ means 2 Square Miles would fill Neyland Stadium to capacity. 5-10 city blocks....

How could you not get infected?

The Country, Experts, and its Leaders are focused on this NE Area and they are applying it to our country as a whole.

A Majority of Media Outlets are in this area (the warzone) and contribute to the Choas with frontline reporting. If they were in Alaska or Wyoming or other areas it would be reduced to a 2-minute story in the news.

Projections were figured in these areas first causing Alarm and Chicken Little approaches. A lot of politicians are in the middle of a learning curve and some will get it and some will not...

Piss Poor Planning equals Piss Poor Performance.

Have we handled it the best way we could? Probably not, but will it work yes and the damage is done. The only way to defeat this Virus is to eradicate it and it is going to take time. The Problem will be how long, what method, and if all the politicians can agree on a Solution. Otherwise, more chaos.

Would you rather follow the Vanderbilt Model that has 3 options? Two of which add more restrictions and extend periods in one scenario to Mid June.

Another Article just to Add. Interesting Read and Lengthy but it is just another Article inciting fear or truth?

Are local governments where you all are doing anything to assist local small businesses? Ours showed their support by sending my wife's business $1k in property tax bills due almost immediately after Governor Coonman's stay at home order ends in June.

Nope, doing everything they can to kill them off. Son got a parking ticket in the Gallatin Square for parking in a reserved spot (business is closed) to pick up some takeout.

And Lee in his infinite "wisdom" is keeping things locked down. The man is clueless.
