The lock down will work in Flordia since it’s vacation season. Lock it down plus warmer temperatures will help I think.

The fact that it’s spring break really hurts Florida as you said and the fact that a bunch of the nations college students all come together down there and bring the virus in I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t a gigantic breeding ground for it if they shut it down it’d probably help. You go on IG and all anyone post is spring break at the beach like the rest of the world isn’t going into panic mode its slightly comical to me ?

Yep. Cases will increase until it’s shut down. College kids don’t care about this virus. They care about beer and sex. Oh it’s great to be young I guess.

They were briefed today by the White House that a shut down is tentatively planned within the next 24 hours. He could end up being wrong but he's a close family friend and they are preparing police officers (in Charlotte) for this change. Take it FWIW.

GA counties with 3+ cases today and trend since Saturday:

Fulton: 13 20 27
Cobb: 15 19 22
Dekalb: 8 10 10
Bartow: 7 9 9
Cherokee 5 6 7
Fayette 4 5 5
Floyd 3 4 4
Clarke 0 3 3
Lowndes 1 2 3

Even the worst of these, Fulton, increased the same as yesterday's 7 rather than faster. When increases start slowing down, that's a big step in the right direction. For calculus fans, that would be the daily derivative decreasing or the slope of the curve declining.

I think in the state of Georgia the over/ under by Wednesday is 300 under 300 then we’re not spreading to bad over 300 then we’re not on a good track. I don’t know how many test are in the middle Georgia area right now and also coastal Georgia because from what I heard us in middle Georgia didn’t have many test anyways and had to wait on the CDC which could keep numbers down.

I’m gonna take that with a huge grain of salt. A grain of salt the size of a 1977 Buick Electra 225. I think he’s very irresponsible to tell someone outside his chain of command this. It does nothing but incite panic. That being said, I don’t know you or him, but I’m gonna go ahead and say he/she is a liar of the highest magnitude. Conference calls with the White House were held with CDC and state governors today. I highly doubt that the Charlotte police department was on a conference call with the White House. Someone is jerking you around.
 
Essentially listening to these recommendations of no congregated groups of more than 10 people is followed at the state levels, there’s basically your shutdown without them ordering an official shutdown, There putting it in the hands of the state governors at this point it seems.

We will see what happens. What happened today was pretty close to a lock down as is. Groups of no more than 10 people (down from 100), voluntary 15 day guidance to stay at home, etc. He's not the type of person that would make this up or try to scare people and he has only told extremely close family/friends about it so they can be prepared. I'm already stocked up so it doesn't really affect me either way as I'm prepared for the possibility.

West By God Virginia still has 0 cases. Or last time I checked. That Black Lung wall cant be penetrated by this little ole bug .. jk

Or because they're such a poor state, testing there isn't easy to come by. Either that or they just don't get beyond their border much or have that many travelers. Who really knows.

Trump left the door open to more enhanced measures.

So now that Trump has admitted July or August before it gets better, will people that only believe him start listening?

Depends.... on what he means by better. Does he mean schools cancelled the rest the year? Or does he mean a few cases of this will linger till then? I mean who knows at this point

Schools out for summer, maybe not the whole country but all the big district
 
We would need 133,628 cases to be on the same level as Italy. We would need 66,000 to be on the same level as Spain. France we would need 32,426 and Germany around 27,000. We have around 4000 at this point we can use those number to really effectively compare us to them over the next week.

Right, when he originally said July-August that doctor came back in clarified his statement, they're not saying everything is gonna be locked down until August, sounded more like their worst case scenario than anything.
 
Athens-Clarke County government here is enacting a curfew, 9pm-5am. The beer & liquor hoarding that's about to happen in Athens is going to make the toilet paper panic look like a Sunday school picnic.
