Arizona
Arkansas
Utah
Here’s why.
There is also good news.
In the case of Arizona, cases up 240% in last 2 weeks & hospitalizations are up 77% this past month, 31% this week alone. Their leading hospitals are ringing the alarm.
Utah has more hospital capacity but I will call their hospitals today to double check. Utah is doubling every 3 weeks but that may get worse. % positives are going up.
What does it mean?
Key questions:
-Geographic county concentration: no need to make adjustments in Tucson if no spread there. But must do surveillance everywhere. Can you isolate it.
-Masks should absolutely be warm to reduce transmission.
-The goal is to appear to have overreacted in retrospect.
But this could change. And part of the bargain is watching closely & adjusting activities when this happens.
