    Washington state, closed bars etc 15 March
    New York, closed bars etc 17 March

    Stay at home order
    Dark blue, before 22 march,
    Mid blue, 29 march
    Light blue, 5 April

    So not much difference with the dates, I think more difference is the much higher population density in New York, plus also the nature of the work, lot of IT in Washington where ppl can work remotely, plus it’s richer so better healthcare, I assume.

    Ohio's numbers today, confirmed: 3739 (up from 3312 ), Hospitalized: 1006 (up from 895 ), and 102 Deaths (up from 91 ).
    Confirmed Cuyahoga County: 781 (Up from 780 ).

    The percentage breakdowns are Confirmed cases ~13%, hospitalized ~12%, and deaths at 12%. So still mostly within the same range as previous days this week.

    Totally bizarre that Cuyahoga County only had an increase of 1 confirmed case. Something doesn't seem right.

    The larger factor, IMO, is the Mayor of NYC telling people to ignore social distancing rules and instead continue to go to bars and restaurants early on. Meanwhile WA's governor and mayors were already urging people to stay at home if possible in Feb.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/us/seattle-washington-state-coronavirus-transmission-rate.html

    ...

    Jay Inslee is the Governor of WA state. On the one hand WA had been urging people to avoid other people as early as Feb. before later making it a mandate. OTOH - the Mayor of one of the most populous cities in the US was urging people to ignore social distancing.

    WA making stay at home a mandate wasn't really needed as most people here started doing that as soon as Officials started to advise us to avoid other people and avoid social gatherings. The mandate was more for the few people that still weren't doing it because it wasn't a mandate.

    Regards,
    SB

    Bloody idiots flouting the rules are going to get all outside activities banned for everyone.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52172035

    They need proper, targeted deterrents. Punishing good people for the actions of bad people only turns the pushes the good people towards being bad in the end... screw authority if you're going to be unfair. And God knows how that'll play out in countries where the have guns and a sub-culture of sticking it to the State.

    I was thinking of snipers, but then you already had some kind of guns in your post.

    Here in california worst offenders are the large warehouse style stores. So many people swarming in and disregarding common sense. Now they try to limit how many people can go in at any given time but the parking lots, the lots!

    The biggest risk will be militant thinking. In a culture that pushes 'fight for what you believe in' and arms both sides, you'll have those who believe in freedom and staying outside fighting those who believe in following the rules. Both ideologies are sound and no-one should be fighting for their own preferred ideology, but that's pretty much all conflict is - people of different opinions trying to force the world to be they want it to be.

    Ohio's numbers today, confirmed: 4043 (up from 3739 ), Hospitalized: 1104 (up from 1006 ), and 119 Deaths (up from 102 ).
    Confirmed Cuyahoga County: 826 (Up from 781 ).

    The percentage breakdown increases are Confirmed cases ~8%, hospitalized ~10%, and deaths at 17%. So a bit of a decrease by percentages, but probably wont know if it's nearing the flattening point until Wednesday for confirmed cases and hospitalizations.

    17% deaths? Wow. UK's at 10%. This BBC report reckons the Netherlands is going with an 'Intelligent Lockdown' and happy to let the virus spread 'slowly'.

    Yes, the growth rate of deaths is 17% for yesterday. Ohio is very far behind the UK from a timing perspective, so it's at the growth phase of deaths. The UK is probably a month to half a month ahead of Ohio, as far as stages go.
