What California is doing right in responding to the coronavirus pandemic
De Blasio needs to be raked over the coals.At least here in Sac, you can't get tested unless you are showing symptoms.There are "no longer any limits" on who can apply to be tested, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Monday, explaining that the county is scrapping prerequisites such as being older than 65, underlying medical conditions and weakened immune systems.

If Sac isn't given testing to anyone who wants it, I have a hard time seeing LA (much more populous) offering it.

Good afternoon, here are today's numbers.
1) The trend of a slowing rate of daily increase in infection seems to be taking hold across the globe, with a few exceptions.
2) Russia appears to be accelerating, I'm not following their local news casts so not sure why, but even if I was I wouldn't believe them, but the reported numbers are indicating a quickly accelerating infection rate.
3) There is a cluster is South America that is beginning to look worrisome: Colombia, Chile, Peru & Brazil - they are all starting to post multi day double digit rates of infection increase, when everyone else is decelerating. This is problematic.
4) Nigeria and Niger could be warming up to accelerate too.
5) The Pacific Northwest Continues to utterly hammer the curve, today Governor Inslee said they are disassembling the field hospital that was just erected 4 days ago at Century Link Field in Seattle and are returning it to FEMA because there is no current need for it. Washington fell another spot to 12th Nationally today among states.
6) Washington DC has a BIG Uptick Day.
7) Texas also looks like it might be accelerating.
8) California is starting to act like a sovereign nation state and bulk buying disposable supplies and is going to warehouse them for use both in California and and across the nation starting next month, in anticipation of a second and third wave of this before we get to a vaccine. The first buy they made a contract for 200 million N95 Masks per MONTH. Gov. Newsom has said they will supply first responders in California first then supply the partner states in the Pacific and Mountain West that are participating in this program as "partners", then the rest of the nation. This is the type of thing the US Government through FEMA should be doing. Probably not enough money in to for Jared, so they wont... yes that was uncalled for snark on my part and use Sorry, Not Sorry.

Schools in PA are now closed for the rest of the academic year. Pretty much saw it coming, no way anyone was going to stick their necks out and have kids go back to school, especially for just the last month.

Agreed - outdoor road construction and other projects are perfect to be done now - they don't involve a lot of close personal contact, and where they do it's not a big deal for these crews to wear masks (which in some cases they do already). And of course with other lockdown things (i.e. no school, work at home for many, etc) there's so few people on the road (my commute to work is easily 15 minutes faster in each direction now). Now's the time to think optimistically and strategically and get some stuff done.Chizzang wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:24 am We just got alerted by the city of Overland Park KS

None of my projects even contemplated a delayed start date because of this Chinese Flu. The only question has been available staff.
