Iowa is interesting. I am in a county with 5 COVID-19 confirmed cases. I think my own secretary had it a month ago, she tested negative to flu and strep with respiratory symptoms. Came into work 1-day while symptomatic. She cleared the dictation in 1.5 hours and left and I told her the office policy of staying at home whilst sick and she took off the rest of the week. I didn't get whatever she had. Not all COVID-19 cases are confirmed. I don't want this in my office. We are by appointment only. We will wear masks if you come in here.

everybody keeps pointing to NYC data but they dont represent the general population of the country either


I think Illinois is the state most similar to the US as a whole, including many demographics.

regular testing tells us nothing

if we could magically test everyone instantly it is only a point in time so we gain little information

antibody testing is what we need and a lot of it
Thanks, professor.  With this gem, you could get a job in the White House.

NYC is interesting.  California is interesting.  Ohio and Texas and Florida are interesting.  These are all representative of their specific regions, localities, cultural realities.

This is not affecting all regions the same.  It's not affecting all populations the same.  Why? 

That is what interests me.  It's what interests the epidemiologists, too.
It isn’t that different. Would Rutgers have finished last place in the Big 12?  Or next to last?

The more I travel, the more I realize people everywhere are "the same" at the core.  Cultures and habits can of course be quite different.

The states most similar demographically to today’s America: Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia.

Virginia has gone through a lot of "iterations".  Leading original colony.  Leading original Confederate state.  Pretty down economy for a long time.  Now a purple state in effect, still with a lot of country.

We may hit 3000 cases in my county today....

1464 cases in Travis County (Austin proper and some of the surrounding suburbs).  But like other places, we're not doing a ton of testing, so I doubt that number is even close to accurate.

My kid clearly had it (recovered now) and would not be counted.  New Braunfels.

And imagine, there are those out there with no interest in ramping up testing....
