Policy is Changing

Published by Christopher Schwarz on May 26, 2020

It’s clear policy rules are changing: OC has record high 7 day average hospitalizations, deaths, and new cases… and yet continues to reopen. See the data here:

Number of New Cases per Day, Hospitalizations, and patients in ICU (left axis) and Number of Test (right axis)

Note the number of tests has been declining so this isn’t a testing increasing issue. Plus deaths and hospitalizations doesn’t depending on testing asymptomatic people.

The question is what this means for our recovery and economy. We will see soon what percentage of the decline in demand is due to mandatory stay-at-home and what percentage is due to people voluntarily staying away due to fear.
