So, you don't believe we can answer that question with modeling? You don't believe these testing capacity numbers were constructed by public health officials using the best available modeling data? Is that what you're saying? Or, are you saying you're qualified to guess that 1/3 of the required number is sufficient for phase 2 opening?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI believe that, whatever process they went through to generate the first set of numbers, they went through that same process to determine it's safe to reopen now. 1/3 doesn't seem like such an obviously wrong number that I have to suspect undue influence.
- pmiller2 6y agoOk, then, explain to me why Santa Clara disagrees. Partially reopening with more cases and more deaths per day, and 1/3 the testing capacity they claim would be safe for a full reopening does not seem to compute.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI agree there's an inconsistency. The obvious explanation for why 8 counties think it's safe and Santa Clara thinks it's not is that Santa Clara is just wrong.
- pmiller2 6y agoSo, the other 8 counties are totally right that trying to start re-opening with 1/3 the required testing capacity and insufficient PPE, while simultaneously having more cases and deaths than would be happening under a full reopen scenario? Is that what you're saying? What do you think Santa Clara's reasoning for disagreeing is?
