That chart literally mirrors the more aggressive restrictions and lock downs implemented in Spain (who along with France has now taken a massive hit to their manufacturing sector)

inflection point of case numbers in spain coincided with the introduction of rapid antigen testing.  correlation/causation, etc.

Really seems like we had a chance at a pretty high roi if the US was forward thinking (wanted to more aggressively fund these, instead of taking a more laid back market approach) back in the early spring on these type of public health tests/indicators.

We could have also done something with it in August/September when most of the country was looking pretty good. Get ready for now.

If it isn't an app or "operation warp speed" we aren't really interested

For those that actually read the articles (so no one here):

The Canadian government has begun to distribute a version of an antigen test to to provinces and territories, but it still needs to be administered by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Concerns around the accuracy of rapid antigen tests, compared to standard PCR tests, have meant that provinces and territories are either still assessing them or are only just beginning to roll them out in a limited way.

These tests (only available for a couple of months now) are still under accuracy evaluation.

The worst possible scenario is wide scale highly inaccurate at home testing.

The inability for some on this board to comprehend the various issues in play is absolutely amazing.

I think we can all agree right now is the worst possible scenario.

If only there was an unlimited supply of rapid tests created by a manufacturing process with unlimited capacity supported by a supply chain with unlimited capacity.

Abbot for example would only have to increase capacity by 20,200% to produce enough rapid tests for every American to use daily.  Very doable.

Recall reading a similar outline from another source months ago....I'll have to do some digging...

mayor of KC is starting to catch some lawsuits regarding the new restrictions. 

does anyone know the rationale of shutting down bars/restaurants at 10 pm?

Yes, people make worse decisions when they are out drinking late. Similar reason to why bars can’t serve past a certain hour already.

Huh.  That seems pretty arbitrary so long as the other measures are being taken.  I can understand why bars/restaurants are throwing fits about that.

I pretty much agree but I think indoor dining should be shut down altogether and the bars and restaurants and their employees should be given money. This absolves the city/any other jurisdiction from having to provide any sort of support to the businesses but also lets them act like they're doing something.

I don't know what other tools KC has at their disposal until there's a vaccine.

View it as that dine-in restaurants and drink-in bars are being allowed to operate at all, up until 10pm.

If you don’t understand why then you’re either being willfully ignorant or you’re an idiot.

Ya you’ve mentioned it in like 10 different posts.  We get it.  It’s a terrible idea that would have very little impact on reducing the spread of the virus.

The folks eating indoors at restaurants are already having big gatherings with friends and family, this just reduces the chance of them spreading it to someone outside their close contacts.

There's also the willfully ignorant who think: restaurants are open, therefore they are safe.

Yeah that's at least consistent.  I don't see how the cost benefit calculus works out if we're letting people eat and drink indoors all day long but then shut things down at night.  The Blue Line (KC hockey bar) filed a lawsuit today in which they said that 40 percent of their business comes between 10 pm and 3 am.  Seems like a big price to pay for only a marginal benefit public health-wise.
