Pretty sure the comment was 70 % of previous numbers not 70% down - there is a difference
I was aware of what the person was saying. At the time it was like 1,300 something compared to 1800 something from yesterday. Ended up with 1500 something which is at least a decline in daily numbers.
I was thinking yesterday was 2000 some, but that was 2 days ago. So we were down 25% over a 2 day span. Looks like nationally we could be past the apex.
Basically been 2,000, 1800, 1500 for deaths, and 33,000, 30,000, 27,000 for cases.
Need to keep it going and it will be interesting to see what point we have to reach in different areas to get to where there can be some sprinkling in of the work force.
I would think you'd need 0 cases and available testing for factories and other work zones.
If we go with 0 cases, I think we might as well mail in the year. There will be a few here and there, especially pending on how you test.
Not 0 cases all around...thinking 0 cases for work places. Like Cargil would need 0 cases. I'm not sure if they can operate if there's even one known case.
Oh, Ok. Yeah I was thinking you meant like the state. I thought that was an impossible situation.

You should edit to clarify because that wasn’t clear in the original post.@Urbandale2013 what's funny about the idea that a work place will have a hard time operating if there's workers present with Covid with potential to spread it?
This was not saying there needs to be 0 cases total all over. I don't think that's attainable.
We just got out of our weekly zoom meeting with the teachers and staff. I asked about any word on when we would be going back? The principal replied that they have a zoom meeting scheduled for all school administrators, Thurs or Friday, with the state education people, and hopefully they will be told more at that meeting. She also pointed out that the state has told them that they will be having zoom meeting for all schools up through May 12th.
Hearing that, it sounds like schools will not be in session the rest of this school year.
If were going to do a soft opening of the economy there's zero chance that schools meet again this year. Kids will cause a massive spread event.
So the models everyone is relying on to determine shut downs has changed their own projections by a factor of nearly 5, in two weeks. Wow. It's pretty shocking we're this far into it an still no one has any idea of the scope of the virus spread, much less how to predict where it will be in the future.Just a little recap from the Covid-19 web site.

Two weeks ago today they predicted the following for Iowa:
4/1-4,655 beds needed at it's peak on May 1st
4/5-726 beds needed at it's peak on Apr 26th
4/8-908 on Apr 27th
4/10-1,155 on April 30th
4/13-566 on May 5th
ICU beds have went from 702 to 145 in these two weeks
Does anyone remember what the expected deaths were on 4/1?
