Yes, I'd read about the voluntary closures, which also tied to my neighbor's experience at his shop.
I think we're all going to have to come to the understanding that a "hot spot" of cases doesn't necessarily mean a hot spot for severe symptoms or death.
This isn't going away, we're going to have to learn to live with it among us, and so we're going to need to find mechanisms for managing it in our daily lives. I don't think that going forward, that answer is going to be able to be, "shut everything down" when we encounter cases of this disease. That's just not going to be a realistic or sustainable option.
It can absolutely be an option, but America wouldn't have the stomach for it. A real shutdown would last 3 weeks give or take. That's when streets are closed and there is absolutely no leaving your house or you'll be arrested for it. China implemented it in a very brutal way, that would certainly never fly here.
South Korea's "real shutdown" would be a tough sell, and that was a cakewalk compared to China. They had a FEMA equivalent who you could call for deliveries of food, water, and emergencies, and they had prepped hundreds of thousands of tests ahead of time. They implemented mass testing and their outbreak was over in the blink of an eye.
Personally, I don't think things are going to get better until we implement mass testing, at a bare minimum. We have been topped out at 150,000 tests per day for around 30 days now. That's absolutely ridiculous. The richest country on earth, and we can't afford to make and process more tests? Blows the mind.
From a data standpoint, testing in the USA has been about 20% positive. We have maxxed out at 150,000 tests. That's about 30,000 positive cases per day that we can add just mathematically. Guess how many cases we've been adding per day for the last month or so.
