while it is early once more are tested the mortality rate will dip even lower. I know this is a non political thread and I will not take it there HOWEVER if the government and effectively communicate this the panic which is part of the problem will also dip. If you look at WA they've almost stabilized this. I'm to the belief social distancing and lockdowns does work, I think we have an amazing emergency response in this country, our ER doctors, nurse, etc are great. The government should call in the national guard and FEMA to states to seperate the sick from our hospitals, retirement homes, etc to help stop the spread and save the very sick. Time is key here if we can do that going into the warmer months it will help stop some of this and it gives us more time to find medicine to help combat it as well.
I was pretty worried about our healthcare system becoming overwhelmed however everything I've read has been pretty encouraging. The next few weeks will be crucial. Other than testing I think we've made up for lost time.
This is my uneducated opinion but what I've read its possible this thing has mutated. Despite what the media has said that's not always a bad thing if you look at SARS it mutated as well and become less dangerous. If you combine that with everything i've said we are in a good place compared to places like Italy, Spain, and France.
