Ok, maybe not yet. But once you start the lockdown, exponential growth continues for a couple of weeks (at least). If it grows at the same rate as in Europe, at the end of those two weeks Santa Clara county will need to hospitalize more than 15000 people.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoSanta Clara County started the lockdown a few days ago. Maybe that's where a lot of the dispute in this thread is coming from; for those of us living in the Bay Area, maximum emergency measures are a given, so the most urgent priorities left are manufacturing medical equipment and finding a way to lift those measures.
- lsh123 7y agoI strongly suspect that the epidemic spread will be very different between large and small cities, suburbs, and country side. Plus Santa Clara county has very different demographic than Italy. BTW, with the amount of people going back and forth between Bay Area and China, I have hard time believing that we had no cases in Jan/Feb. I personally know two people (and I met with both within a few days after their return) who came back from Wuhan in Dec and early Jan. A lot of people were sick in late Dec and early Jan with very similar symptoms.
