Johns Hopkins has revised its data map to be very US-specific down to the county level.
You can still see the global map here.
The modeling map relied on by the White House is here.
Very very nice! And thank you for sending this. I watch YouTube & saw a video MSNBC had put up. They showed the total number of U.S. cases (which was accurate, yet they showed GA & FL as having over 170k cases!
I had to use their politically correct, snowflake responses against them. I complained that it personally offended me (an actual choice) and/or it was wrong.
It did both.
FYI: I recommend "The History Guy" and "Answers with Joe." Both are entertaining, informative, fast and relatively politically neutral.
Erick, your teaser emails and insightful perspectives worked and enticed me to subscribe, well done.
As my own personal observation having been unemployed for the last month due to the virus shut down and also in this time being the health care advocate of my brother that was hospitalized with Covid 19. I wouldn't have been able to be productive at work trying to make sure he was getting proper care, I would have had to take time off. Thankfully he is now negative and at home (after a 44 day hospital stay). My heart goes out to those families that the outcome didn't turnout as well.
My point being is that if we had went with "heard immunity" the economy would've shut down on it's own due to people getting sick, needing to care for others, fear of getting sick and tending to and grieving those who died. Under the shelter in place scenario we have a more able body and less traumatized work force once the storm has passed and we get back to the business of doing business. I think back on the haunting words of Jacob Marley "mankind was my business, charity, forbearance and benevolence were, all my business", I implore the Ebenezers (my-Scrooge-self included), at this moment in time, this is our business, do it well.
