Same.
It's possible that a number will lose their health insurance through layoffs so why not take advantage of the company health benefits while they are still covered? It's a no brainer.
At least for the patients in our clinic that we refer to orthopedics , it was simply a matter of availability. But the demographics and business climate in my area certainly isn't typical for the country as a whole.
Availability and, at least here, time of year. Get the surgery done soon enough and a lot of the rehab ends up on the same deductible cycle. Our early spring cycle was thrown out of whack with cancelled electives. It’s amazing what a backlog of 4 weeks turns into.
What do those things have to do with resistance to contact tracing? A while ago Dr. Fauci brought up the difficulty contact tracing in minority neighborhoods due to distrust of government. I didn't make it up.I was ok with “sports radio” until I saw this gem...you fell off the truck again.
Where da hell did you get that??
Nevermind...try to connect the dots here:
Police Break Up Big College Parties as Coronavirus Spreads
As coronavirus cases spike among Florida State University students, local police say they broke up a party at an off-campus student apartment complex that involved about 700 vehicles and more than 1,000 attendeeswww.google.com
Or maybe a visual?

And here I THOUGHT we where making progress with our sessions??
It has to do with STUPID behavior...mostly definitely in the “had it figured out” state
Contact tracing hasn't done squat to slow the spread of COVID19. Masks, hand washing, sanitation, decontamination and yes giving each other some elbow room (social distancing) have all had a positive effect at beating down this illness, but, contact tracing has been nothing more than a smoke screen, waste of money and political football. The talking heads in the major media keep putting spin on anything Dr. Fauci say's. Disney has been (demonstrated at WDW) proactive, the best and most organized plus effective at day to day processes to combat the spread of the disease while still conducting business. There will be no 100% anything with this disease nor will there be any 0 (zero) anything. There is a need to adapt and live.
So the last week has been pretty much identical to the previous week. Disappointing to see this plateau after the reductions of a month ago.
I agree with you. What I would add that needs to be done is to get into everyone's head that if you are sick at all stay home. We had a wedding here last week where one person spread it to 8 others. It most likely due to that person feeling sick but going anyway.
Contact tracing has been incredibly effective in our state and it has largely kept isolated events isolated.
It’s amazing how many things that are actively being done are also somehow impossible.
Exactly. That’s why the plan originally was (and should have remained) to reduce cases through wide sweeping restrictions to a point that proper contact tracing was possible and then begin removing restrictions and only reapply much more narrowly focused restrictions as needed to contain hot spots. More resources needed to be spent at all levels of government as well. Instead in a lot of places the plan was abandoned too soon and we never got there. It’s not that contact tracing doesn’t work, it’s that contact tracing doesn’t work when you have full blown community spread.
Which State out of curiosity?
Vermont.
Okay, sure, but Vermont is the second smallest US state (population-wise).
