Off hand I suspect it is spiking in areas that never had many cases. Just like Texas & Florida are spiking now relative to NY at first. But if you look at USA as a whole you don't see the regional patterns.GAC06 said:

Anyone have insight on the recent uptick in cases there? Spain and Italy looked very similar in cases and deaths until the last week.
If this is your first response it tells me you are listening to the wrong news sources. You should avoid anything that would be saying this as their main angle on the story.Aggie95 said:

Or a 4th option which involves opening more things back up with continued social distancing and wide spread following of mask wearing and flexibility with change as we learn more and more about the virus....but too many selfish people around for that to happen.SirLurksALot said:
Hong Kong and Australia are also having new outbreaks and are having to reimpose some restrictions.
Some people don't seem to understand that we are never going to stop the spread of this virus. There are only three options; indefinite restrictions, open everything up, or revolving periods of easing and the strengthening restrictions. Sadly it seems as if most of the world has chosen the third option.

Indefinite has such a looong period of time sound to it. I don't think it'll be that much longer. If people can chill till we see if some of these late phase trials are gonna prove to work then that's all anyone is asking. I would gather if they don't prove to, we will revert back to "normal" and the thing will spread like wildfire and everyone will get it and it will just become part of life.SirLurksALot said:SkiMo said:Or a 4th option which involves opening more things back up with continued social distancing and wide spread following of mask wearing and flexibility with change as we learn more and more about the virus....but too many selfish people around for that to happen.SirLurksALot said:

That falls into option number 1, Indefinite restrictions. Since we don't live in a utopia, People aren't going to socially distance for months or years unless they are forced to.

Well, Spain is up to around 1500 cases a day as compared to our approx 70,000+ cases a day so they are likely to be able to get handle on it while we will continue to struggle unless we all get on the same team and mask and distance before everything is shut down again. It's time to do what we are able rather then just complain.Aggie95 said:

I disagree. Almost every person I see is wearing a mask and keeping their distance. Where are you that people are not complying at a high rate.
Other than the rioters and street idiots. Normal people are taking this very seriously.
Stopped at a Buc-Ees gas station off of I-10 in Alabama about 3 weeks ago. Place was packed! Probably over 400 people in the store and maybe 5% of people were wearing masks. We needed a clean restroom and gas so we masked up and and braved the contagion, but it was shocking how reckless they were behaving.DadHammer said:

I wish I had taken pictures but I just got back from Coeur D'Alene Idaho and mask usage there was probably 25%. When we walked back from dinner last night there was hundreds of people packed indoors in 5 or 6 bars along the Main Street. Not to mention at the airport a third of people don't wear their mask properly. Not just kids either this was all ages.
A mask ordinance was passed In Coeur D'Alene on Friday. Not sure when it goes into effect but I saw a good number of people protesting the mask mandate yesterday morning.

Spain cases still rising, Italy has not experienced this type of increase in cases. Difference in reopening policies? Differences in % infected on first round?
