I’m in the camp that would rather overreact in measures taken to get things under control and undershoot the measures needed and end up with hysteria.
Really curious to see how the UK’s efforts go.

It’s not just supply issues.
You’re potentially exposing other people when you go get tested or getting exposed yourself if you don’t have it. Everyone is supposed to be isolating anyways so why get tested to know you’re supposed to isolate?
I’m guessing the people wanting to go get tested for no reason would be the same people already isolating. So all you’re doing is drawing people who are isolating out of their holes.
Plus for a majority of people, getting it isn’t a big deal.

I agree for right now but in the future I'd follow the Singapore/Taiwan/South Korea model
Have an early action aggressive plan w citizen buyin for early case testing and isolation that includes rapid test development + public fever/testing for public
Overreact a little right away to avoid drastic measures.
Also good companies should always work to capitalize for operational risks like supply/business disruption. Yes you don't profit as much but you also don't lose your business over a couple months

You can also cause hysteria by overreacting FWIW.
How many Americans live paycheck to paycheck? How many small businesses can survive no customers for two weeks or maybe longer?

For sure. I suspect this will cause quite a shift in how we react to situations like this in the future, as well as how businesses are structured. I suspect many will figure out a way that allows for working from home, if they haven’t already.

No doubt, but I would take that over what is happening in Italy any day.

Great reason for people to learn the importance of an emergency fund
Also the reason why people are advocating for $1000 per American
1) That $ helps desperate people
2) Helps employers who can't afford to pay employees w no clients
3) $ will get spent and out right back into the economy anyways
Giving people $ to spend is typically more effective than bailing out industries who didn't have good risk management programs to prepare

If your small business is on the verge of collapse after 2 weeks w no customers, you need to adjust your business management
I mean that is incredibly thin margin

asymptomatic carriers self isolated until recovered
Why would those without symptoms get tested much less enter self isolation for days and weeks.

Because in his situation there are enough tests for everyone. If everyone who has it self quarantines the virus doesn’t spread any more. Even if someone has the virus and doesn’t have symptoms, doesn’t mean they can’t spread it.

With adequate test supply, Proper response is to test anyone who came into contact with someone who tested positive.
If you were to test positive w no symptoms, then you self isolate. If you were to test negative, you do your thing.

We don’t have adequate test supply here
I suppose people could just have symptoms and assume and isolate for the sake of not bogging down the healthcare centers

That was my point. Testing is a big deal and we failed to act quickly to get adequate supply
So until we fix the screw up we cant figure out what we're dealing with

For some reason most of the above listed entities have not switched to the work from home model yet. I don't know if they are afraid that going into that mode for weeks on end will overload capacity, or if they are afraid people will not really do their work, but it is disappointing.
If the guidelines are no more than 10 people in social gatherings, why put 20+ people in a cube farm? I get that cubes and offices can help with social distancing, but you still have common areas and pass people in the halls/ride in elevators, etc.

I haven't heard anything.
Chuck isn't on social media as far as I know. Not sure if there is anything from the other guys from the TNT studio show about him.

As of yesterday, he had not heard back from his test. he only said he has self quarantined himself until he knows.

Has anyone heard anything? I'm very worried

That is weird that he comes out that he is being tested and quarantined, but not one word from him for what now...7 or 8 days?
That's not like Barkley to not like to talk or use the media. Evidently he is not a social media guy, though?
