a bit of a galaxy brain take re: mass testing. Seems clear that this will have to be done locally and some places will run ahead of others. Right now, best candidate seems to be the Bay Area. UCSF recently added a ton of testing capacity in 8 days. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/04/417096/ucsf-offer-free-covid-19-test-analysis-results-public-health-departments-nine
the first place with mass testing also needs to not be overwhelmed. The Bay, as everyone knows, has more or less bent the curve bc of early SIP orders, some luck, and proactive decisions like finding housing for homeless, etc. https://twitter.com/Bob_Wachter/status/1248450978086412289?s=20
have been thinking about this as Marin County just restricted short-term rentals to discourage outsiders from coming in and spreading. Seems like way more of this will start happening in CA, WA and OR. https://www.marinij.com/2020/04/10/marin-issues-virus-restrictions-on-short-term-rentals/
this all coincides with Gavin Newsome promising to increase testing in-state by 5x by the end of April. https://www.ktvu.com/news/gov-gavin-newsom-launches-task-force-to-increase-covid-19-testing-by-five-fold
my question: If Calfiornia's peak is in 3 days, as IMHE predicts, and some combo of UCSF, Gavin's plan, and perhaps private efforts create the massive testing network you'd need to re-open...
how do they stop people from coming across state lines? Does that all get mitigated out by the massive testing network? This thread gave a good sense of what happens if you try to enter Korea right now. https://twitter.com/heidishin/status/1247678462938120193?s=20
