I was happy when the state released clear metrics for what would allow a county to move onto Phase 2.5 and Phase 3 of the reopening.
Initially one of the key metrics is that the county have 0 deaths and no more than 10 new coronavirus cases per 100k residents over a 2 week period.
Then the number became 25 cases per 100k residents.
Then it became 100 cases per 100k residents.
Then my county was permitted to mostly reopen with 300+ new cases per 100k residents, in conjunction with a few hundred deaths per week. To me it's clear that we've strayed from the original emphasis on "science based" metrics.
- guenthert 6y agoWhich county might that be? Only Los Angeles has more than a few hundred death due to COVID total. In Santa Clara county still about 20 times as many people die every day due to unrelated causes than due to COVID. That makes it hard to justify the economic damage, which is devastating to those who lost their job and are waiting for unemployment benefits for months now.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoYup, LA. I think we're currently ~50 deaths and 2500 new confirmed cases per day
