This is overall a good move if we want a chance to greatly slow the spread. However it needs to be coordinated with the rest of the country if we want to minimize the total downtime. Shutting down Washington now and having to wait weeks for Idaho to follow (where there are no reported cases) is just going to force Washington to extend theirs as long as it takes for the last state to shut down.
- npo9 7y agoSmall nit: Boise has one recorded case. It was recorded Friday.
- graeme 7y agoHow many tests have they done? The spread pretty clearly seems to be all over the US at this point.
- npo9 7y agoRight, the actual number of cases is almost certainly over 1. The parent comment just said Idaho had no reported cases which is factually incorrect. The first reported case was on Friday.
