Most of Erie county is in Orange, the outskirts are in yellow. We were in yellow all summer/fall and went to orange 2 weeks ago. According to this the only limitation was 4 people at a table, that's what this data would be based on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I think this is the right interpretation...as in use some caution when making decisions based on the findings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Friday was so high partly from clearing Thanksgiving week backlog. Plus cases from Thanksgiving gathering transmission should be mostly reported out already. Nationally we are very close to peak IMHO. Not that you're suggesting such, but peaking does not necessarily mean a quick fall is on the way. I fear we could be in ~200k+ case plateau hell for a while, especially at this time of year with seasonality factors working against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be more confident that we hit peak when the positive rate starts to drop. As far as I've seen nationally speaking, it's still slowing going up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have become a bit numb it at this point and have kind of adapted to this "normalcy" in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it's unlikely. This economy is not the same economy that it was earlier in the year. The stock market reflects what is going on in big business and for what it's worth, the top big business are making money in this economy and will continue to do so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is less and less uncertainty as we move forward with vaccinations so though there may be a temporary worsening of the economy due to lack of stimulus, the long term is looking good. My opinion.

dan11295 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I believe as we get into summer will be start to get some sense of normalcy. Not sure when we get back to the "all mass gatherings allowed again" condition in all states though. Like concert venues reopening, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. The current economy is a boon for big business. They are raking it in at the expense of the little guy. I also think the economy will take a hit after Christmas though as spending will fall off of a cliff without a stimulus package. This is a real possibility with McConnell and Co. not wanting to send relief to state and local governments and threatening to shut down the whole package. However, once the vaccine becomes widely distributed and we begin seeing a substantial drop in cases, ULCA economists are predicting a "roaring 20's" type of recovery. I don't disagree with this. You're not supposed to time the market, but with a downturn in the economy looming, it would be a great time to buy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9034905/Americans-ready-roaring-20s-say-UCLA-economists.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed a bad look. The EUA is coming very soon anyway and now if it comes today, it will look like it was jammed through under threat. If the administration wants to be able to take credit for the vaccine rollouts beginning in their term, that's fine. But you can't pick and choose what aspects of this to own. If you want to own the vaccines, then you own all of your policy decisions and rhetoric over the past several months -- good and bad. We have seen former presidents say they would be willing to get vaccinated on camera. I would hope we also see Mr. Trump get vaccinated on camera, given how much he has been touting the vaccines. And he shouldn't hide behind the fact that he just had covid a couple months ago, because it appears that people who have had covid are also going to be advised to take the vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given he fought the virus through passive vaccination (the antibody therapy). Its possible he doesn't have his own antibodies and the injected one will wane and he won't have memory B cells. Fauci said he'd get the vaccine on camera...im hoping others will too.
