Yeah, and Spring Break was 2 weeks ago. What have those kids been up to the last 2 weeks, where've they been? Ugh.

So, from the way I understand it. there is around a 2 weeks delay from "catching" the virus to death. We have 6 deaths. We've been on lockdown the last 2 weeks, at least. Good job, Austin!
So why is everyone all the sudden now wearing masks, and not 2 or 3 weeks ago? Were people not aware of masks' effectiveness then? So we get it down to one or two deaths in 2 or 3 weeks? Then what?
I find it kind of fascinating that people can look at places like New York and think this really wasn't that bad.Layne Staley said:
Did telemedicine with my Dr yesterday who is with one of the larger Austin Regional Clinic practices. They have only had two people actually tested with one positive. It makes me think the numbers are inflated not just here but everywhere.
The social distancing is either 1) working or 2) this wasn't as bad as people were hyping.

1) working
I find it fascinating that people can extrapolate how bad it would be in Texas by looking at numbers from a city with one of the highest population densities in the world, lowest personal vehicle ownership in the country, and highest use of mass transit.fig96 said:I find it kind of fascinating that people can look at places like New York and think this really wasn't that bad.Layne Staley said:

I'm not extrapolating anything, NYC is obviously it's own model but it's still a case study.BadMoonRisin said:I find it fascinating that people can extrapolate how bad it would be in Texas by looking at numbers from a city with one of the highest population densities in the world, lowest personal vehicle ownership in the country, and highest use of mass transit.fig96 said:I find it kind of fascinating that people can look at places like New York and think this really wasn't that bad.Layne Staley said:

I think it's both. Social distancing is obviously working, but its also not the Armageddon virus that it was being purported to be.
We can still social distance without having shelter in place orders.
