BC is doing really well.  At one point they were leading Canada in cases (probably due to testing levels).

Hospitalizations and active cases of COVID-19 have been stagnant for the last 10 days. The number of new cases and deaths continues to increase, but at a slower rate than two weeks ago.


"We're showing very strong signs the situation is under control, so to speak," said Mohsen Sadatsafavi, a University of British Columbia professor specializing in disease modelling and projection.

This is where I think most of the world will be heading for the next few years.  Get control of the situation, ramp up testing, then open up the economy again but stay on top of outbreaks, like south Korea did initially.  So it's basically do a lot of work so we can get back to South Korean strategy.

Whenever B.C.'s next stage of mitigation comes, the government will have to implement a system to make sure any potential outbreak can be quickly contained.

Coombs said one model that could work would be to cycle through physical distancing measures for certain groups, while taking extra precaution for elderly and high-risk populations.

"That was a picture [from modelling in the United Kingdom] of what could happen going forward, and we're trying to develop our own pictures which is specific to the B.C. context."

    Luck and early preparation flattening B.C.'s COVID-19 curve, but officials urge residents to 'not let up'

Another "attractive strategy," said Coombs, would be to pair easing of restrictions with dramatically increasing testing and rapid contact tracing.

"If you're going to go back to normal activities, it would be like 'OK, there's any sign of an outbreak, any person has been positive at work, immediately the [health] unit should be dispatched, the person should be tested, very meticulous contact tracing should be done,' " said Sadatsafavi.

"But that requires an order of magnitude of higher testing capacity than what we have now."

I swear to god that this thing is going to be a social catastrophe for the poor. And what's more, the fact that social services and those who provide support for struggling families have their movements limited doubles down on that fact.

On the upside, I'm really enjoying listening to the Giantbombcast as they slowly lose the thread!

France just had the official communication. It's between 19h or 20h.
It trends in the right direction : less deaths in hospitals, less ICU admissions, less ICU beds occupied.

[Pennywise]

Germany 117.658 cases overall, +4.133 new cases, 2.544 overall fatalities.

COVID-19 twice as contagious as previously thought – CDC study | median R0 value is 5.7 (95% CI 3.8–8.9)

According to the study’s authors point out that at least “82% of the population has to be immune, through either vaccination or prior infection, to achieve herd immunity to stop transmission.”

Coronavirus vaccine could be ready by September

Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at Oxford University, told The Times she was “80 per cent confident” that the vaccine being developed by her team would work, with human trials due to begin in the next fortnight.

If a vaccine will ever exist for it, it has likely already been invented. Which one works and won't kill you out of the dozens of ideas ranging from theory to test-ready is the issue.
Cost benefit is the real matter, coronavirus just isn't enough of a existential threat to merit drastic process rushing.

Well, again, it goes back to that. For how long can we stay in lockdown? I've got a feeling that by the end of this month governments are going to start seriously considering it.

Semi-essential jobs probably more of a priority. Dentistry, home appliance, home utility services etc
There is also the reality of many people work jobs that don't matter at all. Some people will probably be feeling glum about how they can just disappear and it matters not in the slightest.

Google and Apple are already developing it.

I don't know what these columnists are worried about, Tim Cook only has to announce 'iHealth' with a cool commercial and some celebrity endorsements and every liberal is on board.
Then you only need Trump to push it to the Republicans. 

Getting people to download an app would be the easiest thing ever. Only a government could fuck that up.

Hell Apple and Google could just put in an OS update.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/florida-spring-break-coronavirus.html

Florida has confirmed more than 17,500 coronavirus cases and nearly 400 deaths, with the epidemic still expanding in the state.

A video by the data analytics and visualization company Tectonix showed how cellphones that were on one Fort Lauderdale beach at the beginning of March spread across the country — up the Eastern Seaboard and further West — over the next two weeks.

“At the time, there was still this debate: Should we close public beaches? Should we shut down these big public events?” said Mike DiMarco, the company’s chief marketing officer. “When you actually see it visually on a map like that, it brings a ton of awareness to what that really looks like.”

The first festivalgoer to die was Israel Carrera, a 40-year-old Lyft and Uber driver who spent several days in the hospital in Miami Beach before his death on March 26. His boyfriend, who also attended, got mildly sick and is now making plans to deliver Mr. Carrera’s ashes to his surviving family in Cuba.

Ron Rich, a 65-year-old festival volunteer, died over the weekend of March 28.

I don’t think we necessarily need a vaccine to get back to some semblance of normal. I could foresee a cocktail of drugs that lessens the mortality rate being a way back. Couple that with smarter social distancing measures, contact tracing and faster, easier testing and you can see a world where this becomes more manageable.

Bunch of tentative factors with good or bad outcomes will drastically shape the path forward. I posted something like that some days ago.
Gist of it, don't know what we need to do as we don't know enough. Lots of facts will pop up that are either good or bad, the more good the more pleasant an exit. The more bad facts and hell is beginning.

Seems to me like if 70% of people social distance
Than the other 30% of people will all get it and either die or become immune and the other 70% won't get it and the virus will starve out because it can't reach those 70% of people and the other 30% of people are immune after a few months. Wouldn't be a need for a vaccine at that point if the virus is basically starved out by the end of the year.

Starting to get stir crazy inside but not sure what there is to do outside? I can walk around my neighborhood with a mask but that's getting boring. I can drive around aimlessly for an hour but idk, without a location to stop and do something at it gets kinda boring too. Wish they didn't have to close parks because of this, at least if could go out and take a nice hike/walk on some trails would be something to do outside.
