Nearly all Americans are under stay-at-home orders. Some may have come too late.
When six counties in the San Francisco Bay area went under a mandatory stay-at-home order on March 16, it seemed like an exceptional development in the effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus that arrived in the United States in January. At that point, there were fewer than 5,000 confirmed cases nationally, about 400 of which were in California.
Since then, of course, such orders have become commonplace. As of March 27, less than two weeks after the Bay Area’s order, more than half the country’s population was under a stay-at-home order at the statewide level. By the end of this weekend, nearly 9 in 10 Americans will be. Include localized orders, as in multiple places in Missouri, and the number tops 90 percent.
The goal of these orders is to limit the extent to which people interact with one another and, hopefully, to therefore limit the spread of the coronavirus that has now infected more than 200,000 Americans. Just because an order is in place, though, does not mean it came early enough to have the desired effect.
Our current understanding of the virus is that it manifests within two weeks of infection. The idea of isolation efforts is to keep people separated for at least that long to contain and identify where it has spread. Within two weeks of a stay-at-home order, then, assuming that it is adhered to rigidly and that testing is robust, one would expect to see a slowdown in the number of confirmed coronavirus infections.
