Guys, let's not go down this route. I'd hate to see Badge have to close this thread. We've mostly stayed above that crap.
Correct.

I think we're okay.
We don't want "names" mentioned here. We're not OK.

I would guess places like Texas, Georgia, and Iowa will not see a spike within 14 days of the opening

it will take folks in mass longer to come out of their houses and go to the places that are open

I have a timing luxury of not having to change my behavior, as my school year ends next Thursday.  I'll limit my interactions with the masses all summer.
Plus, it'll be so hot outside, that I'd do that anyway.  Phoenix is stupid in the summer.

I have no doubt that Obama didn’t receive some  votes based strictly on his skin color.

I have no doubt he received some votes based on the exact same thing.
We all know both are wrong, and yet both remain.

It's the exact same reason why the other half refuse to watch MSNBC/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS.
Indeed.

So I got a pizza from Papa John's while on a group chat with friends, and they gave me shit for not ordering from a local pizza joint.
I argued that the Papa Johns was right down the street and was local to me.  They didn't buy it.

Good data. Thanks.

Big jump in late April, but modest declines since then. Good to see.

I do agree with @utee94 that if the number of hospitalizations are going to jump from reopening, it would most dramatically be seen starting 10-14 days after reopening, so next week's number from May 12-18--as well as the one following that--will be key metrics.

So... anyway.... yeah.

I'm watching this closely for Austin and Travis County over the next week.

Although like Fearless said, and CD has posted his observations, people are still practicing distancing and not going out en masse, plus a ton of places simply haven't reopened at all (and many never will), so I really don't expect huge ramps on these numbers.  And that's a good thing, we need people to self-select based on their own levels of risk tolerance, so we can continue to burn through the virus while keeping the hospitals from being overwhelmed.

Well 95% of Papa John's are franchised rather than corporate-owned company stores, so there's a very good chance that the purchase of your Papa John's pizza supported a local business owner, and a 100% chance that it supported local employees.

So, good on you, you bought local just as your friends urged you to do!
