People are allowed on roads?
They basically banned non essential travel here and going between towns and city's was kinda banned as well.
Essential travel mostly to and from work in essential services.
Yes, US measures are crap. There is a reason why their epidemic keeps growing.
In areas where it is already going insane they are doing something probably like a level 3 NZ response, which slows it down and starts it shrinking. Meanwhile, a state away, they'll have people drinking in bars, and people driving from A to B and back again.
So their hot spots don't stay isolated, their hot spots burn longer, and new hot spots are appearing all over the place.
Now, in a given hot spot, they'll put the breaks on it. So NYC stopped it at about 20% infected. But soon they'll reopen and it will go up to 30% or 40%, then again, and again. Meanwhile, other places are blindly wandering towards outbreaks.
With no coordinated federal response of any competence and free movement between areas, I don't see how they will avoid losing the battle.
It is an incoherent and ineffective local responds to a global problem. They are heading strait for 0.5% population death rate, at least among the poors. The smarter wealthy are all hiding, and can weather this without face to face contact.
I'd guess 1 - 2 million dead, of which less than 2/3 will be counted as diagnosed Covid-19 cases. But it will take a while.
