In good news, while I am waiting for certain sources to update data charts, it sounds like my state just had its first day since March without a covid-19 death.

Alas, it was the City of Boston, not the whole state. But, good regardless.

Canada is doing pretty well overall.

Active cases (orange) in Ontario are slowly dropping.

All other provinces except Quebec have it well under control.

Quebec is in a similar position to Michigan. About the same population with similar cases and testing only with fewer deaths.

Active cases continue to rise in Quebec. There are over 25 000 active cases in Quebec compared to around 5500 active cases in the entire rest of the country.

And they're of course the province with the fastest reopening plan. They were scheduled to reopen schools starting this Monday but I think they postponed that thankfully.

I swear, the US is the Florida of the world.

I'd like to apologize to the rest of the world for Florida.

I'd like to apologize to the rest of the world for the USA. We're full of jerks.

True. 100% true. Sad, but true.

My county has 11.37% of the cases in all of Washington State. We are only 3.3% of the population of the state. We are also overall heavily conservative, and we have a lot of people who are disobeying the shutdown.

Seems weird. Even from an economic pov getting back to business as usual would imply getting things sorted ASAP.

Half adding the lockdown is worse option than herd immunity and effective lockdown.

The only thing getting back to business as usual implies right now is a ton of folks getting the disease :/

There are a lot of people who are saying that more people will die from starvation if we don't return to work soon, which is true if we do nothing about it. I personally believe that a life is worth any price, so we should do anything we can to prevent more people from dying, which is not what opening up the country will do. Opening the country will only increase deaths.

We should do anything we can to prevent as many deaths as possible.
