Watched the press conference. Debbie said the removal of positives from family is not acceptable in American culture. She trusts they will know how to self-quarantine. But…
So no effective quarantine for most households. Hence, confirmed cases should continue to climb at 20%-25% per day till entire family is infected… average size 3.14… for shelter-in-place states…
104256 to 1 million at 1.25 growth rate = 10 days
Edit1:
Because there are no lockdowns between States (recalled some1 proposed to do so rather than vs nations only), Americans are behaving like Native Americans, running from infected places to non-infected place e.g. from Houston to Austin and NY to NJ, spreading the disease nationwide.
Edit2: Apparently the typical bill for a 6-day hospitalization of Covid-19 disease is $73,000. If you don’t have insurance, you have to pay for it. I see why Americans are scared, high medical bills (if no insurance) + possibility of losing the job. Also, I see why no hospitalization for mild cases because is too costly - insurance companies can go bankrupt shouldering the bills. Also, I see why so many people are flying to Singapore - free test, free hospitalization, free meals - Now, no longer free for short-term visitors. Testing is still free.
