Possibly, hopefully but our numbers not rising right now might be due to our department of health having problems reporting for the last 3 days. Wife's hospital here just had a doubling of covid admissions in the last 2 days. Maybe this is the surge and it will diminish after mid April.

I think it's going to be hard to go back and figure a lot these things out because the exponential process means each innumerate step of denial "Glad we're not China" "Those countries are faking the data" "Freedom has a price" "We’re not California" "We’re not New York" adds orders of magnitude to the problem.
To your point, if people can spread the virus before they have symptoms, and in the absence of rapid testing, then controlling the spread requires drastic measures like social distancing, and not the it doesn't apply to me yet because things aren't bad here yet.

To be clear, I'm all in on distancing. I just wonder if the positive impact from distancing as shown in publicized curves will be muted in the near term as week-old tests are finally added to databases. Would expect this is a non-issue longer term as tests are performed at point of care.

While State of WA dept of Health seems to be having trouble with their data page, it appears King County, and other local health departments, are still accurately releasing data daily. I believe the NYTimes map is getting their data from other sources in addition to WA dept of health because their numbers for the state have been going up since 3/28. Check out King County dept of health. It's a good barometer for the entire state. Does appear the curve is starting to flatten.

I've been working all morning to try and round up clear lens goggles, particularly dirt bike with tear offs but, any clear lens would be great. If anyone knows where an unused stash of these might be send it!
The movement just started on Monday night and so far it's mostly the northeast but if there's someone at a hospital that could be a coordnator to receive goggles let them in on this https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/Gog...66EXEuX2CqI7_A

Dude, I am born in Sweden and still have a dozen relatives living there, so no need to lecture about that.
And I am quite aware of the general sentiment as well. Looking at things from 200km away and it is quite different that you have in Dan/Nor/Fin.
That said, I really hope that they ride out the situation unscathed. Time will tell.

I just think Sweden is interesting. There's all these natural experiments going on and Sweden is an outlier. So it's useful to place what's going on in Sweden in context because in America a lot of people are pointing at Sweden and saying we should be doing that here.
A lot of people in this thread argued we were doing too much already and now we're facing a catastrophe.
I didn't think you were discussing Sweden from that point of view but it might have been misinterpreted as Sweden's response is laissez-faire, and that's the reason for the data, especially when that's not what you were saying, right?

I wore my mask to the grocery store yesterday and I'll have to dress accordingly in the future as I got the same feeling. I'm also super susceptible to stuff around my face and neck so this will be interesting. No one with a mask at the grocery store but at Costco there were quite a few so that made me feel better. One guy had his drywall/painting respirator on but he took it off when he got to the check out.

I have no opinion of Swedens approach being more laissez-faire or not, history will judge that. But as said, it is very interesting to examine the road that they took (regarding their history & gov.mechanisms) and how things will pan out. I certainly hope things will turn out well and and not end up in a disaster...and no, they will not end up "unscathed" as I (poorly) wrote. But yes, the case will be interesting for researchers in the coming months, not only that but it will be a perfect case study for future pandemics as all the neighbouring countries took different approaches yet all are extremely similar in demographics et al.
? I do not compute.

It means nobody cares about Sweden or their meatballs.

Of course you don't disagree with it. It's the Washington examiner
