You should look at New York where things are going badly.
You should ask yourself
why NY is such a hotspot while other places, almost all other places, are not.
Look at some
Johns Hopkins numbers...
New York State Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 19,101
New York County Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 14,887
Nassau County Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 1,390
See the rather large difference between the two counties's totals?
Goin' through the rest of NY State's 62 counties, the numbers get better and better (lower and lower).
Is
mitigation keepin' most of NY state's numbers down, or are open subways in NY City keepin' their numbers up?
Where it not for the lockdown that could be repeated across the whole of the USA
I live in Louisiana (Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 1,405).
Here's some numbers for some of the parishes I visit regularly...
Orleans Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 344
Jefferson Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 288
Acadia Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 7
Lafayette Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 17
Iberia Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 21
Vermilion Coronavirus death total as of 4-21-20: 1
In the first week of my state's lockdown, I was good boy. After that first week, I became progressively
less good...and so did everyone else. I'm out & about everyday tryin' to make a buck, travelin' to and from all my usual locations ('cept for Orleans). There are a few shuttered businesses, and many open businesses operatin' under restriction, but mostly commerce is happenin' as it always has. In fact, seems to me all
essential (and more than a few
nonessential) businesses are as busy, if not more, as they were pre-Coronavirus.
Loads of people, like me, are out & about every day, most not wearin' masks or abidin'
the six feet rule.
We're filthy, noncompliant buggers down here and we aren't droppin' dead from a nasty cold.
