Is best case scenario still keep the death rate low and the cases high? Just making sure I understand the idea we're hoping for.

Yes. We don't really know how much immunity is conferred or for how long and we won't know for a while.

We need to protect the most vulnerable in order to keep hospitalizations and deaths low.

I remember seeing Reba and Huey Lewis in G Rollie White. MSC Town Hall use to bring some great people.

Alright place your bets. What are we thinking? Was the 48 yesterday low coming off the weekend?

I'll say 89 cases today.

80-100 is what I would expect if there wasn't a holiday involved and it was just the normal weekend catch up.

With the holiday in the mix, I would not be surprised to see some high number such as 160-200 because we're having a 3 day catch up in reporting.

The problem will be, if there is a huge catch up spike, it will generate the usual hysteria and overreaction because only those paying attention will realize it is a reporting caused spike, not an actual number of cases spike.

Than again, some places were closed yesterday for the 4th instead of Friday, so we might see low numbers today and the jump tomorrow. Since the reporting is all over the place, anything from 0 cases to 200+ is possible.

While I hope for 40-60 cases (or less), I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the 130-150 range.

Spreadsheet updated.

Some rounding issues where the percentages given are not finite enough to get exactly the same numbers...

Just drove by CapRock on University. If I remember correctly, they turned that into a COVID location. There must have been 10-12 men outside in line. A few of them had their safety shirts on. Construction? Also, with the testing today and tomorrow, there possibly went any number guessing for a few days.

Yes its a COVID testing location only. I can only imagine a bunch of people from a work place go when they think they have been exposed. It wouldn't shock me one bit it being a bunch of construction workers (especially since the ones I have seen on campus aren't social distancing or wearing masks when eating lunch, etc.
